MLAs silent on dump debate

Nothing from the doomed duo from BT? Well that's a big surprise!

Then if it is going to be a waste management recycling facility....then barkers (West Bay) would be the best place and safest place to put it. It would not destroy the water lense and the central wetlands in Bodden Town. Besides you have two road corridors that can accommodate the increased traffic. Bodden Town does not have the infrastructure to accommodate the increased traffic. If government is to manage it, it will be a dump and with serious consequences down the road. Think of all the promises we have had that never materialized or went wrong. Are we really all better off today than say 15 years ago?

Talking of Waste Management. How's it going with Mark and Dwayne?

Why should George Town have to store the garbage for all districts.

Silent...but deadly! That's my speciality!

There is a world of difference between a Waste Management Facility and a Landfill like the one in George Town. The use of the "D" word is intended to cause emotional responses from people who are ignorant of that difference. Those people who are suggesting that Barkers is a better place because the wind will carry away the smell and the leachate can go west with the currents in the sea are missing the point that there shouldn't be any smell or leachate (I leave aside the implication that it is OK to dump leachate in the sea in the first place because the currents will carry it somewhere else). The Waste Management Facility has to go somewhere. The location chosen is as good as it can get.

Good Men have lost their seats in the LA because they chose to make tough decisions on difficult projects which is right for the Country.  I hope and pray this is not the case with Mark & Dwayne.

 

Bodden Towners (residents) in the surrounding area of the BT dump site need to survey

the possibility of the "What If's" in case another Hurricane like that of Hurricane Ivan,

or stronger,  causes a significant amount of flooding that would cause a water run-off

from the Dump site and pollute their homes with bacteria-filled water - just like that

which happened to the residents in Park Way, George Town during Hurricane Ivan.

 

Further, the BT Dump site is situated in a swampy area which means the water lenses

are pretty much ground level. Common sense tells me that any of those residents are

presently using their well water for various purposes, that that too will eventually

become contaminated from the bacteria build-up from the dump.

 

BT'ers, your two representatives does not live anywhere near the BT dump sire nor the

water run-off of the dump.  What reassurance, within the written contract with Dart,

have they given you??  You need to be WISE and ask for the hard written evidence

as this cannot be proven in their spoken words.

I have it from a good source that the Chuckster isn't running in this election. He just knows that moving the dump to BT is wrong from every conceivable angle and so he is fighting to keep it out of Bodden Town. That's a hell of a lot more than we can say for our current 3 MLAs who must go in 2013. We should just hope that 4 good candidates with the intestinal fortitude of the Chuckster steps forward !

Where is the PPM in this ? Is it true that they have committed to DART that they will not oppose the BT dump if they are elected but will allow it to proceed ? Enquiring minds want to know !!!

And where has Tony Eden been for 4 years ??????????????

If the dump had to be moved from its current location, why not place it in Barkers? From my understanding Dart owns most of the land already and the stench would go out to sea instead of two thirds of the island if it is moved to Bodden Town. In addition to this, it would be a whole lot closer to truck to west bay considering they have two road corridors now. Also there would be no issues with the water lense and the central wet lands. Just my two cents....

Mr. Clifford had Mark stammering and searching for answers when Mark called into Rooster while the Chuckster was a guest. Can you imagine what would happen to Mark and John John during a public debate with Charles Clifford and Gregg Anderson. Mark and John John......game over for the two of you in BT !!!

Sounds to me like you should've voted for Chuckie when you had the chance!

Children! Children! try to behave!

 

Chuckie Vincent and Gregg, we all know that this is simply poilitical grandstanding and the start of the sily season for your announcement to run for office in Bodden Town. It is a pity though that this is the only thing you can find to rally the voters in Bodden Town.

I am a Bodden Towner and I am undecided as to whether this is a good thing or not simply because government not DART will be in charge of it after it is built, but at least these guys have put forward a solution to resolve the landfill issue. Nobody including me wants it in their backyard but aside from building another island to put it on, it has to go somewhere and we know that the life span of the GT Dump passed several years ago. What Chuckie and Co. needs to do is to come up with alternate solutions and not the same old crap about keeping it in George Town. School children in China now know that is no longer feasible.

I am still hopeful that Bodden Town in the next election can return as we did in the past, men and women as leaders to bring our country together and move it forward. The PPM had their turn and they spent us into oblivion. The UDP has ideas but no clue how to rally support or implement them. Then they are the Chuckie's and the wannabe's that say they are doing it for "love of country" when we have perfect examples of the type of leadership or should I say mal leadership that they would provide.

As a Bodden Towner, what I want to see is four fresh, young, charismatic business people with good economic sense vying for seat in my district. The country needs leadership and for years and years, political leadership begun in Bodden Town.

I' m sorry Chuckie and Co. you just don't fit the bill niether does Mark, John John or Tony for that matter. You guys are all politcs as usual and you are all out for number 1...you." All of you have forgotten that true leaders lead, not follow or gather as much for themselves as possible without consideration of others..

Chuckie, Gregg, Vincent, Mark, John John and Tony, you are all grown men. Be men, act like men moreover act like real strong Caymanians and get out of that one sided bully pit they call a talk show. Why don't you all get together for lunch one day or one of you have a bbq or do like the PPM used to do and cook up some Turtle meat(although turtle meat and PPM could arouse past memories) and sit down around a table play some dominos and have a debate amongst yourselves and reach some consensuseven  if it is to continue to still disagree. All this political grandstanding and one upmanship to get votes helps all of you but it does absolutely nothing for us the people of Bodden Town who are feed up with politics as usual. Your tactics may have worked years ago but people can see through all the rhetoric now and we don't want rhetoric, we want people with a good head on their shoulders, and the knowledge and skills to run a country and at the same type devoting themselves to doing what is best for the country and not necessarily for themselves or their consituents in order to keep votes. 

Am I asking for too much? If I am, I 'm going up in the bush to cut me a good broom to dry out and be ready for some sweeping on election day.

 

 

 

 

 

Mr Scotland hasn't done anything of note in his term and Mr Seymour....well you only have to read the news, sometimes stuff sticks whatever the court says...

Scotland is frightened of his own shadow, tiny though it is, so it is hardly surprising that he would not step into the public arena for a debate he could never have won.
