St. Maarten Private Eye

Some quotes from SMN-news:
Drs. James: “One has to be sick to have confidence in this government since the corruption is widespread”.
He described St. Maarten as a magnet meaning that it draws foreigners. “That way nothing changes, because the immigrants know exactly from whom they will get their favors, these people he says form questionable relationship with politicians”

Jerry Sardine spoke of the carnival type election campaign and the fact that local politicians engage in vote buying. He said that people should not be afraid to vote and that the fact politicians are buying their constituency is not good. As for the readiness of the people on the constitutional change, Sardine said that the politicians are not giving the people the proper tools such as a draft of the constitution.

{{Indeed, so they can compare the pro's and con's properly. I think a draft of the constitution should be published in both TDH and Today. Also, the community must have the opportunity of giving criticism, so all letters ought to be published.}}

In the meantime NOVA crew has a line up of four prominent St. Maarten citizens whom they plan to interview. The crew intends to leave St. Maarten today and they will be airing their interviews sometime next week in the Netherlands.

{{Does anyone know who these four prominent St. Maarteners are/will be?}}
