St. Maarten Private Eye

I've always had questions about our roads. So often there are places where drainage has just not been taken into account it makes you wonder if the builders are professional emgineers or just ensuring themselves of repeat business. Another thing is the hundreds of dirt sideroads that wash stones and gravel onto our main roads, this also causes a great deal of damage and traffic problems.

In a related issue, I am very interested in the book that was writen in Holland a couple of years ago about the construction business dealings in St. Maarten. Do you or does anyone know where I can get an English copy (if there is one) or does anyone who has read it care to enlighten some of us who haven't about it's contents?

As for journalists, they are all welcome to come here and post too though they might want to do it anonymously as it could have consequences on their jobs. I do know that here are a few who want to write more than they can in the papers. I did even write to Kendall Dupesoy a few months ago to tell him about this site and to invite him to come and write here if he wanted. The site has evolved a bit since then so maybe he would be more interested in doing so now. I'd be happy to set the National up with it's open Thread and pages too.

Welcome back and feel free to tell friends of this site, that how we spread the word. :)
