I would caution the Independent member for N. Side Mr. Ezzard Miller to be very carefully to avoid political postering and consider what is really happening to Caymanians. What he is suggesting as a solution in part is far from the truth and far from reality.

CONSIDER WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING TO CAYMANIANS

Firstly, I need to know which Chamber of Commerce you Mr. Ezzard and the caller on Rooster this morning is talking about? Suggesting the chamber should participate in the solution to this budget issue?

It is common knowledge that the Cayman. Islands chamber of commerce “does not promote hiring Caymanians!!” NEITHER DOES THE PRIVATE SECTOR HIRE CAYMANIANS with degrees or not, skilled or unskilled. Is Mr. Miller suggesting that government make the cuts and then rely on the enemies of Caymanians to provide employment for our civil servants after throwing them out into the streets on their face?

So which private sector & which Chamber of Commerce in which country are you Mr. Miller and the West Bay caller talking about?

I am confused as this is the worst recommendation ever. It will not happen.

AS WE ARE ALL AWARE THE CHAMBER BUSINESS MEMBERS WILL ONLY SEE TO IT THAT FOREIGNERS FILL ALL JOB POSITIONS WITH FOREIGN CIVIL SERVANTS OR PAPER CAYMANIANS!!!! They will continue to do what they have been doing for years…. It will be deja vu all over again.

MR. MILLER BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT MESSAGE OR RECOMMENDATIONS YOU MAKE. IT COULD ALL BACK FIRE.

The premier is protecting Caymanians in making the cuts he has made, whereas you Mr. Ezzard Miller is not really showing us the other side of the coin, and  not really looking at the reality that only Government and CUC hires Caymanians not the private sector (only CUC). We can not touch the civil servants its like shaking Israel, a bee hive….!

So Mr. Miller, where do you think you’re going from here? The lottery idea can work as long as the bookies pay a hefty license fee and a percentage of the winnings paid to government up front before the winner collects his net amount. Otherwise it makes no sense.

I do not approve of gambling but since they will continue to gamble then government must immediately begin the process to tax them.
