St. Maarten Private Eye

Just what those 'Antillian benefits for it's economy' are Holland doesn't want to give up exactly? Why would they fork up 5 billion to people who are largely responsible for the debts they have and show little sign of learning how to balance the books, without making sure that proper governance and safeguards are in place to make sure huge debts don't reappear in 20 or 30 years time? Look at our island government here, just what exactly have they done to show they know about good governance and transparency?

Please explain. What is it that you think Holland want?

As for Gay Marriages, I think you have your priorities in a twist if that's your biggest concern about the future of the island. It's none of our business if two people of the same sex want to commit to share their lives together and have the same rights as a hetro couple doing the same thing, good luck to them and they have my full support.
