Many people have not begun to grasp the magnitude of these events, and the possible subsequent benefits thereafter.

Why put out a RFP in 2008 for delivery in February 2009?
They didn't know they needed these cars at the start of this year?
What kind of piss poor planning is that?
or do they already know who they giving the contract to?
And also....you all joking about this 'wall' right?

Trinidad shoudl NOT spend this kind of money in the wake of wht is currently going on , there are so many more pressing needs that are NOT being addressed and this govt DOES not care.
It does not matter how many people from whereever will be here Notorious, its quite easy for the president of the US and his entire entourage to simply bring their own Security vehicles, as well as royalty from the UK.
Why must we spend over 100 million for them
Once again this Event is being used by our govt to steal money and somehow try to bring justification for spending money that we should be saving.

No accomodation would be provided at the Hyatt for either event evo-STI-k.
The Hyatt houses the largest multipurpose facilities in the English-speaking Caribbean. These facilities would be used, hence accomodation would not be at the Hyatt as it would pose security risks.
Why the number 200?
Summit of the Americas - April 2009: 34 Heads of state + spouses + foreign ministers + aides could easily comprise a party of 8-10 (That totals 272-340 people)
This has not taken into account security details and miscellaneous support staff.
The US president's staff will number over 500.
As for CHOGM, the Queen of England, again the US president, and 51 other heads of state from all over the world, not just the Americas would be present along with staff, spouses, etc as above.

Do some research into the events and it should help, rather than just saying what comes to mind

Once again, you haven't taken the time to research what you want to comment about.
There will be no option to "shut down and cripple itself in protest".
Do some research as to how this level of summit affects the ongoings of a country, and you'll understand what I'm saying.

What benefits are these?
Will seeing Barack and the Queen help me to feel better about myself and my country when I stand in the street wondering if I’ll be one of the 500+ murders for the year, while contemplating that I’m hungry and homeless becos
–inflation crossed 25% and I wasn’t able to buy food
–the corresponding increase in interest rates meant I wasn’t able to pay my mortgage
–the increase in MVT and gas meant I wasn’t able to afford a car
