NOVA part 3: corruption on SXM & Bonaire
Anonymous (not verified) | Sat, 2008-03-08 18:15
Mr. Leopold James was quite himself on NOVA :)
I applaud him for his courage and I wish more people had his 'cojones', as he puts it.
Anyway, they mentioned the whole election/vote-buying thing and frankly, the spokesman of the government said it was the truth and like Buncamper, he said that it was a common thing and that it happened everywhere.
Whatever... that doesn't justify anything.
So, I think NOVA didn't do much damage to SXM's reputation. It's bad publicity, but that'll pass. There's so much more to investigate...this was just old news.
In the mean time, let's help Theo solve the whole waste problem...Why doesn't he just visit SXM PE and make some notes? Our ideas make sense!
