Please discuss something, bring up a topic, anything. We have been too busy to keep up here (see previous post). Anyone have an opinion about what is going on in Haiti? I heard an interesting report on NPR yesterday about it.
There was interesting news this week about a guy who plead guilty down here who was involved in an EDC company - and it sounds like it could be just the tip of the iceberg. More info here. Seems the gist of it was that he was an insurance salesman in the States who came down here and faked residency, for the sole reason of the tax breaks. I would like to see where this investigation goes as it widens. If people in these EDC umbrellas start getting busted for stuff like this I think it could eventually put a damper on the local economy and the real estate market...

Surrrre, of course, the guy's from Mass. He must have taken those new courses available at U.Mass., tax evasion and political scandals. Seems the islands are becoming to civilized.
