Shoreline, an eagle among pigeons [1]

Editor,
In response to Taasi Holiday's letters concerning Shoreline.
If Shoreline is so well managed: Why did they need $2M from the government?
Why can you hear the crackle of power leaking from the lines when you walk around the island?
Why couldn't they keep the power on after 16/11 instead of letting people's food rot?
Why does the company have a poor credit rating?
Why didn't the Executives/Owners pay the BP bill out of their own pockets?
After all they are supposed to be worth their salary. Maybe they should have asked Princess Pilolevu for a loan. Isn't that what Tongans do when they need money, call on family?
Just because the TEPB sucked does not necessarily mean that Shoreline has done a good job. It's easy to soar like an eagle when you are surrounded by pigeons.
By the way, my compliments to the Tongan Government for posting the laws of the country online. That is a job well done.
