Thats all great and as it should, not something special. Your basic false premise is "It can't happen here". Me and many others dont trust the oil companies and their reps nor do we trust the govt to represent us properly and make decisions in our best interest. They represent themselves. Both the GOB and Oil. Ask anybody. After you have lived here a while and see the cycle repeated several times you come to recognize it. Any idea why this was done without consultation? I do. The public outcry would have shut it down.
I just found out our Town Board knows nothing of this. You have much to learn in Belize. Do you know who controls the country? elected officials? their relatives and friends? Their financiers? Lawyers? Big businessmen? Private sector? the established bureaucrats in the various departments? The voice of the people? the press? Who's the strongest? Do you know?
Before you decide I am PUP I will inform you that has been a fun game for years. When we are red in they are sure I am Big Blue. When blue is in they are sure I am Big Red. I have held elected office under both. Don't be sharpening your bits just yet.
