St. Maarten Private Eye

It's one of the times I can say that I openly agree with your assumption on the Berkel Smart case when it comes to the media. That Mrs Berkel-Smart make a comment after the fact that she resigned means nothing more than cleaning up the mess. The comment should have been made before she resigned as her political carreer is over. What a shame as she was a decent state secretary in my opinion. She worked hard and did a lot for SXM. She helped Maria bring the lab home. But like I said earlier you don't step down from such a position because somebody says so based on rumor. Her stepping back is based on COLD HARD FACTS in the SOAB report. Let's hope the DAILY HERALD and THE TODAY through their WELL INFORMED sources can get the report and PRINT the whole story. Stop writting rumors and put the hard facts. Let's NOT repeat that shamefull act of crucifiing people (remember Maria) when what's being said isn't correct. Get the facts and write the story. Question the governor on open government as he send the SOAB report to the prime minister. Question William Marlin and the rest of the NA on the real story. Question comic Roland DUNCAN on his good governance stance. What a damm joke this whole story is! But then again what GOOD journalist we really have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
