Jack giving away more maxi bands............to hell with maxi men feelings
I hear Jack was advised to start building Highway from Point so the state would not have to put out billions to buy property now just clear the forest an drive. Would it not make sense to save the money an give work to the people of Pt Fortin instead. Or is it going to stall like the Highway in the East but only after friends of the PP had their pockets filled.
Are the property owners motivated to sell now an only now? Or to hell with Point cause is PNM we making sure we people fix.
I just find it funny the TOP COP come from a city with almost no crime
Edmonton's official population is 782,439 but Edmonton's 2009 an 2010 murder tally is 54 imagine that.

Reshmi Usha Ramnarine's meteoric rise overnight from a technical operator 1 in the Security Intelligence Agency (SIA) to acting chief of Telecom Technology, Ministry of National Security, and then to a key national position in the director's chair of the Strategic Services Agency (SSA), has elements of partisan considerations, personal feuding and exchange of hostilities between deputy security chiefs and personal friendships between political bosses and their advisers.
The debacle has exposed the backroom machinations to put an unsuitable candidate in the director's chair of a national spy agency. It has also exposed a range of security failures and breaches in protocol and raises important questions about why National Security Minister Brigadier John Sandy failed to submit a nominee of his own choice and why, having objected to Ramnarine's suitability for the post at the National Security Council (NSC) meeting, he would present Cabinet Note 92 for her appointment.
Curiouser still is why Deputy Director, SSA, Julie Browne, who played a crucial role in getting Ramnarine parachuted into the director's chair, would write a glowing letter of recommendation for her subordinate's elevation to the boss's chair to Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar. There has been no explanation for why Browne would make the unusual recommendation, or why to the Prime Minister and not the line Minister, Sandy, as reported in yesterday's Sunday Express.
Browne has so far failed to respond to enquiries from this newspaper about the role she played in the Ramnarine affair, including why her January 10, 2011, letter to Persad-Bissessar was addressed to: "The Honourable Mrs Kamla Persad-Bissessar, MP, Prime Minister, and Office of the Prime Minister."
The letter of recommendation for her junior employee was not sent to the Prime Minister in her capacity as chairman of the NSC, nor was it copied to anyone. No explanation either for why she overlooked the embellished work experience cited in Ramnarine's CV, failed to check references and, more critically, failed to conduct the standard vetting process required for the current clearance of someone at the level of director. The rigorous vetting process, intelligence sources have disclosed, include polygraph and psychometric tests.
As reported in yesterday's Express, one of the references listed in the controversial CV, Sharon Sharma, a senior prosecutor in the Office of the Attorney General, has denied giving Ramnarine approval to use her name as a reference.
Another named reference, Shireen Ali, a brand marketing manager at SM Jaleel and Co Ltd, is said to be a close friend of Ramnarine. Browne, who is said to have a sharply acrimonious relationship with the agency's second deputy director, Trevor Keron Ganpat, is also listed as a reference.
Timeline to the director's chair
January 10, 2011—Deputy SSA director Julie Browne makes recommendation for accelerated promotion to top job for junior officer Reshmi Usha Ramnarine. The Browne recommendation is a break from the usual practice of the line minister's choice of candidate.
January 12, 2011—National Security Minister Brig John Sandy submits Cabinet Note 92 for Cabinet's consideration for the appointment of Ramnarine as director of the SSA. This, after he had raised objections to the Browne recommendation at the National Security Council meeting attended by Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar, Attorney General Anand Ramlogan and Foreign Affairs Minister Suruj Rambachan, among others.
Sandy's objections about Ramnarine's suitability for the director's chair of the SSA were not supported by his colleagues, who all agreed to the appointment.
January 13, 2011—Cabinet agreed to an initial six-month interim appointment of Reshmi Ramnarine as SSA director. However, several Cabinet ministers appeared to be in the dark about the decision, which led Prime Minister Persad-Bissessar, under a barrage of questions from the media, to quip: "Persons who are members of the Cabinet, if they had read their Cabinet notes, it was a Cabinet decision. From National Security Council and then to the Cabinet. So if members were not at the Cabinet meeting or are not members of the Cabinet, they would not have had that information."
January 14, 2011—Acting President Sen Timothy Hamel-Smith issues Ramnarine her instrument of appointment to the director's chair of the SIA, later corrected to SSA January 21, 2011. The Express reported exclusively on Ramnarine's shock appointment to head the spy agency.
January 22, 2011—Ramnarine resigns, citing intrusive press attention and security concerns. Enquiries into her background turn up false claims of a degree in information technology and work experience.

agreed.
Rambachan is the most corrupt official on the UNC cabinet. Thats why Basdeo kept it out of the UNC Hierarchy for so many years. The Brazil Incident will never wash clean.
Feel free to SUE me for this Mr Rambachan. I don't care.
Since you like telling people what they can/cannot file lawsuits on.

'Express' editor, reporter under cyber attack
Story Created: Jan 30, 2011 at 10:44 PM ECT
A vicious personal attack was yesterday launched against Express managing editor Omatie Lyder and political reporter Anna Ramdass by someone adopting the alias "Janice Thomas", as this newspaper continues its investigation into how Reshmi Usha Ramnarine came to be hired as director of the Strategic Services Agency (SSA) with false credentials.
The attack came in the form of an e-mail addressed to editors and reporters of the Express and staff of TV6, which accused Lyder and Ramdass of a personal vendetta against Ramnarine and threatened that "their day in the sun is over".
"This is the beginning... they will understand the consequences of their actions...," the e-mail stated.
The e-mail was also posted on Caribbean Talk, a site for bloggers on issues of the day. However, following complaints from this newspaper, it was pulled by the moderator.
The moderator subsequently issued a warning to bloggers to desist from posting libelous entries and personal attacks.

The Express is weighing all its options in this matter.
