Forgot to post this earlier:

A groundbreaking ceremony for Pond Bay, the new, lavish Private Residence Club on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. Pond Bay is located on a secluded 15+ acre beachfront private enclave and will offer 50 three-bedroom villas and cottages, ranging from 2,200 square feet to 4,300 square feet with luxury finishes, furnishing and accessories. Amenities will include a beach club and pool, clubhouse, athletic club, restaurant, fitness center and ESPA destination spa and is scheduled for completion in December 2008.

Pond Bay is the sister property of St. Barth’s highly acclaimed Isle de France and the latest addition to the expanding collection of luxury Private Residence Clubs throughout the world.

Governor John de Jongh and Commissioner of Tourism Beverly Nicholson-Doty will be in attendance at the groundbreaking ceremony.

Photo opportunities following the groundbreaking will be available.

Obviously no view here. However, I like snorkeling in Chocolate Hole. I wonder what the weekly rates will be on units that become available....

Is it true that the Governor has a private financial interest in this project?

Are you going to fill us in, Mat, or was this just something for us to consider? Is this a fact or conjecture? What's your point?

Would it be surprising if he did? While it might be disappointing and improper, would it be surprising?

What is the implication here? Do you know something that the rest of us should know? This is our respected Governor you are speaking of. What is it that you are implying? If there is something you know that you would like to share, please be more forthcoming.

I know nothing, but in "Mainland World" it would not be surprising to find a politician involved in a lucrative real estate deal, generally as a silent partner or shareholder.

Whoa, whoa...calm down, people! Sheeesh

Just something I heard a few months back and was only trying to verify if it was rumor or not.

Obviously, no one else has heard this, so it must be from a bad source. Sorry for ruffling your feathers.
