Good luck, Barbara. This is probably the only way they’ll ever take seriously the harm they’re doing by their inaction on all things relating to the smoke and gases, possibly/probably carcinogenic, that are released on an almost daily occurrence by the frequency of the dump fires over the past few years. And that’s not to mention the damage it’s got to be doing to the island’s reputation as a tourist destination.
Respectfully,

The government's attorney flat out stated that there is no plan. Unbelievable!
I don't understand why they won't make the results of the tests conducted by the industrial hygienist public. ?? There should be transparency if you are going to say it's safe.
Someone with deep pockets should hire their own hygienist and conduct tests.
I mean, there is definitely a problem if a dump fire hurts your income and cruise ships change their itinerary to avoid your smoky port.
