Dear Editor,
There's a bus problem on the east side of island in St Maarten, and government should see this situation solved immediately. The people on the east side of the island are not safe traveling on gypsies daily that are not insured. Parliamentarian government politicians and newcomers on the list for this coming election, why are there no buses running in Middle Region, Sucker Garden, Pointe Blanche, Dawn Beach and Oyster pond?
Middle Region needs a community centre, and a ball park and water meters are too far from the homes. Government needs to help and assist Middle Region people more. A community centre for Middle Region should be included the 2017 budget.
After election is over and a new government is in office, please don't let down Middle Region and its people. Thanks to the Justice Department and police! The people of Middle Region are thankful of the police patrols in the area. But these policemen need more powers. Too many times they have to tell the public to get a lawyer, and many of these lawyers are not nice to the public. l have been begging our government and politicians there's an urgent need for a small-claim court in St. Maarten.
There's a female landlord in Middle Region who owes me for daily work, and up to this date she has not paid me yet. Many construction workers on this Island never get paid, so
Minister of Justice, a small-claim court urgently needed.
So far, St. Maarten people feel the justice department is doing good, but a small claim court is urgently needed for those who cannot afford a lawyer. Bad paymasters are taking advantage of construction workers on the Island.
Article 33 and 59 clashes September 26 a lot of people hope government will increase the minimum wage I am monitoring the seats. I will give you a prediction of the seats in September. MFK and UP seam to be doing good on this island. Politicians, please focus on the minimum wage, salaries are too small, ball parks, and buses to start running on the east side of the island. And build community centres for the people, and don t let down the people of Middle Region.
