In the letter Gov. Bryan is proposing that the import tax would be on goods and individuals....
Additional entry and exit fees.
So this makes it a tad unfair that USVI yachts can come and operate in our waters without any of the above for a seasons worth of charters. Mooring balls are a problem now, we have become like Disney land so yes let’s step things back a bit and protect the industry that’s putting food on the table for many.
Jay doesnt know a thing!
The B.V.I is definitely in need of a more qualified Premier, a better financial minister, and a better deputy minister, as simple as that, in order to realize above average governance for the betterment of the people.
Understand this facts, no political issue can score 100%, neither can it score 90%, but 85% is certainly possible. our current Hon.Premier is about 55% positive. Ronnie Skelton is above 70% plus positive. The other political leaders, as far as financial management is concerned, do lack his equal money management knowledge and proven achievements.
I am a native who is just trying to help us to be unravel many missteps going the wrong way most of the time, and seems to care less about those of us that are greatly suffer due to his mismanaging of our highly valuable finance.
But this is what you get when you lie down with dogs,You get up with fleas.They brought him over here to campaign for them and he insulted the Governor and the UK, and now he has turned on them.
Let them take that !
