Also the maximum amount that can be claimed for repair of the primary family home on the tax form should also be increase to $2500. The current maximum amount of ~$1450 is ridiculous and is not a true reflection of a monetary amount that is spent by home owners for repairs.

The cost for materials and labour have risen considerably to carry out these repairs. Why can we not get a more reasonable repair deduction to offset these rising cost?

We are also disappointed that credit card transactions are still not visible online, even though Domacasse claims it is! We cannot monitor our credit card balances or any transaction made on our credit cards.

The children’s Guana Chat Child Helpline is a vital service for many children, teenagers, and youths. We all need someone to talk to in confidence, but many people don’t have that safe, non-judgmental person. The young people will get guidance, and hopefully, serious help.
When I was a lonely teenager, there was no one who I could trust to talk to. That affected my life throughout adulthood in a negative way. The quality of our young people’s lives will be vastly improved by this service. I am glad to see it reach our small islands.

Completely disliking all those not understandable abbreviations, I ask myself again: ZJCN, where does it stand for?

This was a painful sight to see on Saba. A complete lack of foresight and organisation on the part of this bank.

Elderly and infirmed individuals had to endure unnecessary heat, inadequate seating was just a few of the issues the people on Saba faced with this disorganized operation. It shows a complete disrespect for Saba peoples’ time and for our patronage over the years to WIB bank.

Very disappointed in the process…

This is 10 years later than the Sabagro project with university Wageningen. If Commissionar Chris Johnson would have listened to all recommendations, Saba would have been a frontrunner!

Not sure how useful this info is. Obviously both tourism and student rentals were down in 2020. 2020 also ended 21 months ago. How are numbers of 2020 useful for policy decisions if they aren’t available until Oct 2022?

Current factors also affecting travel are high airfare from US.

Almost doubled from “normal” rates of past causing us to re-evaluate our ability to visit along with duration and frequency of visiting .
Even traveling with the higher than normal airlift rates reduces ability to spend more money locally per person which hurts the local economy as well.

Compliments for the Saban policy and congrats for the financial support!

Saba is unique and likely my favorite place on the planet. Hope the storm isn’t too bad. The people are great -hope all remain safe.
