St. Maarten Private Eye

And immediately the fingerpointing started. Sarah says it is federal business, so Curacao should deal with it. David Dick saying that some of it was known, but that now is an opportunity to work on it. The Lt.Gov. finally sys that there is a need for measures. And minister Hirsch Ballin does not want to comment on it, because it is Antillean business. As if this is not a kingdom matter...

Come on. I would say that a joint effort has to be made. And waiting for Curacao to show up is probably the worst scenario. David Dick is living 1000 km away and SXM is going for country status, so why bother?

So Sarah, Franklyn, ExCo, make security, anti-terrorism, anti-laundering etc.etc. to be one of the priority points to work on. And think about this: for these things it is not a shame to call for Dutch (or other) help, I would say. Desperate times call for desperate measures!
