Letter To The Editor

Parliamentarians asking to merge the PJIAE and PJIAH boards???!!! So one company owning assets and operations?

How about Government making the PJIAH go Poofff, take back the ownership of all the assets, and sign an agreement with the PJIAE to operate the lot. Use the money they save by not having to pay Big Money to PJIAH brass, that was not the case when Mr. Joseph Peterson ran a tight ship (alone and for peanuts, I might add) to re-employ some laid off SXM Airport workers in dire need Read more

Carnival Should Not Go Ahead

As a former President of the St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation I stand in support of St. Martin of Tours Parish Priest Father Adam in asking our Government to CANCEL all plans and REFUSE issuing the necessary permits for CARNIVAL 2021.

And just in case there were thoughts of it, do the same for the HEINEKEN REGATTA. Hopefully the Collectivit will also deny permits for Carnival on the French side of the island. NONE of these events where NO ONE can truly control crowds getting in each others faces, must take place this year to prevent more havoc on our health system and by extension on our really screwed up economy!

As much as I personally LOVE the annual event, the idea to organize St Read more

Food For Thought (Part Ii)

UPDATED FOOD FOR THOUGHT (PART II): I am an eternal optimist. The glass is always half full rather than half empty. My Letter to the Editor of April 9, 2020, entitled FOOD FOR THOUGHT in which I concluded THIS COUNTRY STATUS EXPERIMENT HAS FAILED, for some may have been considered out of character for me. But, the forced business closure due to COVID-19 required by Government (a move I endorsed and applauded), while business owners still have to operate under the yoke of 50-year-old archaic Labor Laws, do that to a person! How is it POSSIBLE or FAIR that owners and managing directors of Private Sector businesses remain TOTALLY responsible for 100% of the full salaries of ALL their employees, while sales have mandatorily been reduced to ZERO by the very Government that enforces those archaic Labor Laws? WHERE IS THE SOCIAL CATCH NET THAT ANY RESPONSIBLE COUNTRYS GOVERNMENT SHOULD HAVE IN PLACE IN CASE OF DISASTERS?

Having to cut back salaries to stay afloat, while the government hemmed and hawed about a previously agreed-upon 10% cut of their salaries, was the drop that caused my bucket of frustration to run over Read more

We Are All In This Together, Right?

The spirit of compromise seems to be in short supply these days. A pity really and also a bit baffling. The Coronavirus does not discriminate. With few exceptions, every country, creed or color, must accept that they/we are not safe from the virus. The only action that is safe requires us to stay apart; the so-called social distancing. At first, we had to stay apart, together to survive. This solidarity, at least from a health perspective was automatic. Economically, the situation is quite different.

Lockdown has caused financial knockdown for most in the Private Sector Read more
