The government HAS the money to fund education on the island.
Most people here on the island thought the government didn't have money to fund road construction here on Ambergris. Now look and see what's happening. Nothing like a bit of organization and urgency to get things done.
Most folk here think the Government of Belize is too broke to send some of our tax dollars back to the island for education and more (and much needed) road improvements etc. While the majority continue to think that way the Government is more than happy to agree with them.
Bywarren, there's an awful lot of wasteful spending at the Town Council level here on Ambergris. Next time we're having a beer together I'll explain. Suffice to say I really don't feel that they're ready to manage even more of my money.
Education is Central Government's responsibility. We can't just write off the tax dollars we're sending to Belmopan ...kids on the island deserve better.
