Premier to miss port JR for NY meeting
(CNS): Premier Alden McLaughlin will need to keep a close eye on his WhatsApp messages next week, as he heads to New York for meetings there with Cayman Finance, if he wants to keep tabs on the legal case opening Monday regarding the cruise port referendum. A press release from his office said that he will lead a delegation on Sunday to Manhattan for the 7th Annual Cayman Finance New York Breakfast Briefing and a re-insurance business round-table.
As he delivers his addresses about what the Cayman Islands has to offer New York’s financial professionals, the courts here will be gearing up to hear the challenge, brought by local activist Shirley Roulstone, to government’s handling of the people-initiated referendum on the cruise project.
On his social media post the premier said he was looking forward to the trip. “It’s a great opportunity to network and for member firms and associates to learn more about the latest developments in our financial services industry,” he said.
The delegation includes the Attorney General Sam Bulgin, whose chambers are defending government in the judicial review.
Accompanying the premier will be Financial Services Minister Tara Rivers, Department of Financial Services Director Michelle Bahadur, members of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority, and Eric Bush, the Chief officer in the Ministry of International Trade, Investment, Aviation and Maritime Affairs, as well as the premier’s senior political advisor, Roy Tatum, and his personal assistant, Jana Pouchie-Bush.

Are any readers in NY and can bear to go to this snoozefest? I’d love to know how many of the delegation actually show up to the breakfast and how many are sleeping off hangovers and recharging for another day of shopping.
Old 6.37. You would probably have a stroke if one positive thought about our Government entered your brain.
Then on to Hollywood?
My good friend Steve Mnuchin asked me who is Alden McLaughlin – never heard of him.
And it is good news to hear that CIMA/Financial Services ares going as Steve expressed familiarity with their attempt to bring the Cayman Islands up to the standards that are expected by the US/UK/International regulatory bodies.
Expected but not necessarily complied with…that country to the north is the centre of secrecy and money laundering.
So the lesson here is not to put your money in the Cayman Islands, simply go for a short drive to DELAWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got to pack in the public paid trips before elections😉
You running and you running
And you running away
But you can’t run away from yourself
That’s quite a delegation for breakfast. No doubt they will all be working hard the rest of the day. Make sure to submit those (verbal) receipts!
Will everyone have their own room, or will some share (to save money)?
Juju going with her driver? Or a pair of Chief Officers tagging along?
No she’s taking the steam roller…will be there in September
Unna wrong on both accounts – she taking the old preacher lady with her – think her name is something like Sister Gracie.
Not a chance.
Vote No
The world continues, yah know!
Vote no to voting no!
Air miles Eric raking in his frequent flyer miles again, to attend a breakfast. I don’t see him flying business class to the Brac very often, but anywhere else he never misses out.
Thank god Aldart’s taking Cayman Finance…we don’t want another interview like on Britain’s Trillion Pound Island.
