Sounds like there is a reason why these fires keep happening, based on that contract for management of the dump.

A true "dump" fire can burn for a long time in many cases, even years in a controlled environment. The newest dump/landfill is from Irma debris. Obviously this is not a long term fire and one would think should be able to be controlled.

According to the editorial in today's Daily Herald Link herethe answer is the 550M Euro Dutch funds for the reconstruction. Sounds logical to me. Perhaps the only way to get this done, to take it out of the local politicians' hands.

Perhaps getting the politicians out of the loop is the answer.

No they did not. They are petrified of Holland.

Can you blame them? With all the assumed shenanigans that go on down there, I can't say as I blame the island fathers for not wanting Holland looking at the books. I think they'd probably have to build another jail, no?

They probably all have immunity written into their contracts. I'm almost sure they do.

Our friends living on island are suffering. These winds aren't helping out this terrible situation. They can thank their politicians for most of the problem.

For sure, it would not leave a good impression. Our first visit was via a cruise in 1991 and the positive impression the island and people we met are what drew us back.

I spoke with a native island friend yesterday and he indicated it is always a good day when they arrest a politician on SXM!
