Mt. Thrashmore is relocating....

As you may know I have been a major advocate for the Govt. to get off their comfy seats and do something about our garbage dump, dubbed Mt. Thrashmore. We have one of, if not the largest landfill in the Caribbean. So as part of the latest "sweetheart" deal the Premier has entered this country into, (of which we won't get much in return except maybe the right to remain here with some privilege), he also encompassed in the deal the capping of the dump and commencing a recycling program for the country etc. This is needed, so I don't understand why we couldn't have only dealt with the dump in exchange for some land in the swamp. But no we had to hand them in the deal both arms and legs.
Anyway, I am not a supporter of all of this deal, I do support the garbage dump part of it and hope that it is done properly, and it won't come back and bite us in our behinds years from now when our country has been stripped clean and there's nothing more to take.

Mt. Thrashmore, has it's time come? & at what cost to us?

I listened as our Premier the Honourable Mckeeva Bush informed us in his recent budget address speech explaining that 'his' Govt. will work along with Dart regarding a solution for Mt. Thrashmore. I hope you noticed the wording 'his', because it's never about 'the people's Govt', which is another way the language is manipulated to trick our ears. (But we nah all foo-foo out yeh!!) LOL!!!
What the Premier failed to explain to us is what exactly was involved in the deal? Can we get the specific's, because we should know if someone is going to do what I think they are going to do with our dump, it is going to cost money, and are we going to be repaying this in the form of a fee increase, or are we compensating with exchanges of block and parcel numbers? We must know what the deal entailed it's our 'democratic right', bearing in mind we still have 'democracy' in this country, because it looks a hell of lot like 'communism' to me!!!
