- What Mr. Bush has said about this makes sense, and he obviously knows
that if he let his, or any government, take the land by acquisition, he
would lose his powerful position. Back in the 1990's a family had leased
their land and Barcadere in Little Cayman, to government, for one dollar a
year for fifteen or so years, for the purposes of a shipping dock. While the
lease was in force, the Government offered a paltry sum for the land, and
then when the family asked for a more appropriate price, Government filed
for acquisition. Furthermore, the Government moved the public road further
back from the sea in order to take in more of the family's land because they
said they would need to later put in a warehouse. They took it by
acquisition for the same paltry sum they had offered and it cost the family
thousands of dollars in lawyer and court costs in addition to the loss of
their land. This atrocity is recorded in history - It Makes the Heart Sad
- This makes me mad, the project is dead? After all these idiots put my
father through… the project is dead? Unreal, in some ways I'm glad I'm not
on the island anymore. I'm ashamed of the government to come back to it
after what they did - Annony
