I just watched News Channel 8, and a man who used to work at buildiing the Diageo plant told the reporter that there are safety issues at the site. When he voiced his concerns to his supervisors, his time was gradually reduced until he was out of the job. you can catch that story at 11:00.

CIF, maybe you can look into the story.

The costs are rising and the division is growing: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/homepage/story/86823.html

I wonder what Barbara Petersen, Jean Greaux and Governor deJongh have to say about divisiveness? They were pretty busy during the 2006 campaign throwing around that word. Now their Administration will be labeled divisive and incompetent!

by the way, reading is apparently not your problem….it’s comprehension.

As I began my conversation, Time will tell…let’s hope that we all can admit wrong when the time comes.

Clock,

It is apparent she can’t read. She listens well and then repeats.

@ APV
Ok. Once more then I am done with you.

There is no restriction on where Diageo can sell its liquor as long as they produce 1.5 million to meet their contractural obligation to the Virgin islands.

My facts are straight. Can you read?

I am addressing where the Rum from Diageo produced in the Territory can be sold. It doesn’t make a difference if it is 1.5 million or more…not sure what you are talking about. Get your facts straight

@ Another Point of View

What document did you read? Look at Exhibit D in the agreement posted in the Document Library (Diageo Agreement, Part 2) on this site. It clearly shows the minimum requirement for production per this agreement is 1.5 million gallons and elsewhere in the document it states how much beyond that amount Diageo would have the capacity to produce in later phases of the project.

If you’re going to post, at least know what you’re talking about.

In the Diageo agreement, it states that rum produced in the Territory can only be sold in the U.S. Don’t rely on misinformation. It’s in black and white in the document.

@ We need a Mapp on February 9, 2010 at 9:46 pm,

If what you say is so, that’s GREAT!

In the end, on that final day, in the voting booth, on November 2010, I will emphatically vote for who is LEFT STANDING: Mapp or Donastrog OVER de Jongh.

Governor Mapp or Governor Donastorg January 2011!
