never heard of it
Anonymous (not verified) | Thu, 2006-01-05 17:04
I have never heard any such thing.
Besides, Theo was a child when Claude was in his days.
When Theo started out in politics, his grandfather did ask all the folks to support him. You have to remember that Mr.Heyliger is only in his early thirties.
If I am not mistaken, he was the youngest politician ever elected.
But then again, eventhough Claude is considered one of our local heroes, he was no damn good either. Not for the environment, not for culture, not for heritage. Because of Claude, he made sxm a successful tourist island, also by inviting the interantional mafia to the island to set up shop.
Think of the Spadaro's, the Corallo's, the mafia people from long time ago Casino Kalliste, New York Mafia who had the Sint Martin Beach Club on frontstreet. Claude actaully encouraged the sales and destruction of our heritage sites like the Fort Amsterdam, the Belair pond, the old sxm houses on Frontstreet, the destruction of the Great Salt Pond.
So there,
I hope history will be written correctly.
