Island Council reluctantly approves skeletal budget 2020-2023
Dear Saba-News.
1. Where and when were the draft budget and advice from the CFT relating to this budget publicized (or made available) to the public (See Article 17 sub 5 of the FinBes with the stress on “voor eenieder ter inzage en zijn algemeen verkrijgbaar”?
2. Taking Article 18 sub 1 of the same FinBes into account, was the deliberation of the budget by the Island Council take place, at least, two weeks after these documents have been publicized (or made available)?
3. Wouldn’t the Executive Council of Saba taking the current information into account, after the deliberation and the publication of relevant documentation of a time period of one month, be in conflict with the “lawfully stated deadline of November 15”?
4. Is it possible to avoid a deficit by using up your liquidity (reserves) or don’t you need permission to do so, because isn’t it the general policy that deficits be eliminated by cutting the expenses or increasing revenues?

Coast Guard saves man who had been drifting four days at sea near Saba
Probably he ran out of diesel fuel not gasoline. Such a yacht would not have a gas/petrol engine.
Was it unusually calm to have no wind for 3 days?
Glad he is safe!

Walk-out Island Council to protest lack of structural funds
Back in the day it was called the “Solidarity Funds”, now it is called the “incidental funds”? Same begging under a different name !!
Cost of living and vacation pay that we fought for back in the 80’s is now 13th month!

Rules of the Road on Saba are different from those in the European Netherlands
Perfect to have this published.
Might have been done by governments somewhat earlier?

310 tonnes scrap metal removed from Saba - updated photos
A recycling success story! Congratulations to the Saba government! BUT give the US Ambassador to the Netherlands a cold shoulder when he comes. He has made anti-Muslim comments and is a Trump appointee. He has nothing to do with the Dutch government, and there is no value for the island to welcome an individual who opposes climate change policies and nearly everything that Sabans believe in. Watch videos online where he lies like Trump about things he has said, simply calling them “fake news.”
