Unfortunatly AC is very similar to a wealthy individual in the US. The top wage earners, 1% to 5%, pay the vast majority of taxes and receive little in return. The country of Belize has many needs and few places or people with the income to tax for those needs. AC will never get its "fair share" of taxes paid returned to AC. AC needs to find ways to fund its needs by taxing its own residents. GOB will never be able to fund all of the needs of AC and also support the needs of the rest of the country - that is even assuming the new goverment doesn't steal for their own personal gain like the last, which is a huge assumption. And waiting and begging GOB to fund all of the needs of AC will only lead to further decline of the island.

I am a conservative in my politics and normally opposed to increased taxes, but when I pay a few hundred dollars on my condo I am paying too little in taxes. I am willing, and should pay more, provided the money is used efficiently to improve the island.
