Dear Editor,
I read the letter to you from Kenneth Cook. The term overqualified comes to mind. What I would like to say to Mr. Cook is that he should try to get his hands on all the cases that were held against the Government over many years and check the winning (or losing ) percentage of Government. That should give him an idea whether Government was justified or not in their actions against the locals.
A young professional who left for similar reasons told me that she got the notion that her boss felt threatened by her and made working together unpleasant. I feel sorry for the younger generation of St. Maarteners because all of this is the fault of people in Government (who we keep putting back) and who are gradually putting St. Maarten in the hands and pockets of non-St. Maarteners. But if it is any consolation to those hampered, if this is done for money, it will be soon gone because money grows wings like a dove.
It is imperative that we determine who is a St. Maartener in a hurry. But by now we should realize that it is not in the interest of those in Government to do this, so we need a Donald Trump move.
