The Dump

Lawsuit

Good luck, Barbara.

This is probably the only way they’ll ever take seriously the harm they’re doing by their inaction on all things relating to the smoke and gases, possibly/probably carcinogenic, that are released on an almost daily occurrence by the frequency of the dump fires over the past few years. And that’s not to mention the damage it’s got to be doing to the island’s reputation as a tourist destination.

Finally !
Someone with COURAGE and INTELLIGENCE to take on these politicians.

BRAVA!

Yea Barbara!!!!

Maybe with this AND the money from the Dutch recovery fund, there is hope..

Thank you Ms. Bee!!!!!!!

Irina--that's the same link I posted earlier today in this thread...

Not trying to rain on the parade but has there been a viable alternative method proposed??

Doesn't look like government cares.

Many times, over many years. But if gov't cant get a cut, they wont do it. Same old story.

The government's attorney flat out stated that there is no plan. Unbelievable!

I don't understand why they won't make the results of the tests conducted by the industrial hygienist public. ?? There should be transparency if you are going to say it's safe.

Someone with deep pockets should hire their own hygienist and conduct tests.

I mean, there is definitely a problem if a dump fire hurts your income and cruise ships change their itinerary to avoid your smoky port.

Just a matter of time before cruise ships go elsewhere. Then what SXM??
