Tea Leaks by Talkers

Trading places

(L) Michael Mecca, Kevin Kelley (R)

Rumor has it that there’s gonna be more changes in “the” industry at high levels. After Adelson announced he will be replacing Tracy at Sands, it seems the waves of change were sent north and south of Cotai (central). President and COO at Galaxy, Michael Mecca may be on the move to…Cotai South. His replacement may come from exactly there. Sources not-to-be-trusted with something sharp are venting the name of Kevin Kelley to be the next COO at the property in Cotai North.

Maserati rents

Talkers is a true fan of concern groups on Facebook. One of our favorites is ILCM’s. Here’s a post from which readers of any gender could learn a thing or two: “Your landlord is responsible for replacing your washing machine or for repairing your washing machine. My landlord told me to go and buy a new one since she lives overseas – bought a Fortress brand washing machine at Fortress next to Park n Shop with a 3 yr warranty and deducted it from the next month’s rent.” Atta gal, Barb! Talkers did exactly the same last month to our landlord. We bought a Maserati and deducted it from the rent. What?!

Department of the month I

And the award goes to… IACM. The Civic bureau acted on a Times call, alerted by a close contributor, that someone has built a cement platform over century-old cobblestones at Avenida da República. Just look at the pic! Amazin’. The Civic guys went there yesterday, less than 24 hours after being alerted, with a truck load of tools to remove the aberrant edifice, which was privately sponsored – a condition that doesn’t exonerate the public administrators from co-responsibility, hence the prompt action. By the way, the Cultural Affairs Bureau should also oversee and be accountable for this kind of stuff, because the pavement is listed as a “classified site” (see macauheritage.net).

Department of the month II

“The question is: who did it and why would someone feel legitimate about doing such a thing to world heritage? I believe education is at stake here: if people knew the meaning better, they would not dare! The question is not really whether or not they know the law, it is whether or not they know the value of things.” Good point and good questions, Eric Sautedé; we couldn’t agree more. Talkers is still looking for the very able mason (the who), but we already know the what/why: the thing was built as a platform to launch, not missiles, no, but close: firecrackers of potent propulsion. Because CNY is around the corner!

in others’ words

High rollers… will stay low until the witch hunt – whatever it’s called – until the crackdown on corruption levels off.
