Don’t agree at all with this. To say they’ve done ‘nothing’ is pretty simplistic. What about the on-going management of the island, the re-building efforts post Dorian (and others), the Carnival deal, etc.
Look, get that nothing is perfect, but under the circumstances, I’d rather not risk a change of management and throw all my toys out of the pram.
All I’m saying is that (while they could do better and work harder) they are doing a better job at it than I’d trust anybody else to do.
If nothing else, you can’t argue that even if they were in it for themselves, what sense would it make for them to run it into the ground? Even if that was their motive, surely longevity would be their goal, no?

Contrarian view here: getting rid of the St George/Hayward order would completely de-stabilize the economy of GB and pull politics and short-sighted planning only looking to score points to please whatever is the current administration and end of year financial performance on the Board Room.

If argue that Freeport is an extremely difficult economy to spur and it’s much better for the health of the island to have people in charge taking decisions now that, while perhaps not popular today, build foundations that perhaps only our children will benefit from.

The island shouldn’t be brought into a pay for play, vote-focused, cash squeeze to get a promotion kind of economy.

This is delicate. To think otherwise is too simplistic. To trust anybody with short-term priorities is both naive and dangerous. Personally, I don’t want a Freeport run by politicians and outsiders. I want people that will keep making deals and re-building our island brick by brick.
