Letter to the Editor: from Florence Goring-Nozza

In light of the political furnace ablaze between the two parties hurling each other into the center of the heat;
Let us pray that the Department organizing visits to these 2,000 homes using the census report will be used strictly for health purposes and not some underlying political ploy. I’m curious to see which demographic will be targeted and their voting status as well as each of their political party affiliations if any.
Careful note must be taken of the cunning and crafty nature of this current regime. The l,500 home owners living below the poverty line, a demographic targeted by this government under the guise of a move to assist those economically challenged homeowners to better cope with the cost of utility expenses by introducing to them the newly proposed solar power system.
This is not quite the government we can trust.
“One and One is Two but 1,500 and 2,000 is 3,500.
The 4,000 plus signatures already secured by a petition against the West Bay Road, and not excluding almost 5,000 signatures supporting the people’s petition for a referendum for the One Man One Vote to be voted on by Caymanians on July l8, 2012.
At this stage of the political game being played on us don’t you think this may well be a shadow Monkey Survey that will influence and gather UDP support making converts and opponents of them to take a position against these two petitions.This government initiative could put a big dent in the 7,000 plus signatures needed to pass legislation, derailing all efforts in spearheading this petition and ongoing campaign by Independent Member from N. Side and the PPM Member from East End.
Is this the brain child of the UDP against the peoples initiated petition for a referendum to guarantee that it fails at the polls?
It will be interesting to listen to feed back from all those homeowners and families that will be visited under these two new initiatives by the current government; namely the Health survey on blood pressure victims as well as the l,500 recipients of the newly proposed solar system intended to solve the high cost of utilities for the poor people of the Cayman Islands? The News media need to be vigilant in reporting to the public any feedback from these demographics that are more socially and economically challenged than the rest of us.
A drowning man will hold onto anything to save himself.
