Dear Editor,
Whilst we can all hope that constitutional changes that limit the breakdowns in coalitions be enacted, this will not solve the fundamentals that cause the problem in the first place.
Dear Editor,
I am very pleased with the response we have being getting so far, to the problem we are trying to bring to the attention of the general public concerning the refusal by SZV Bank to pay the old aged pension to persons they claimed did not reside on the Dutch side during the time money was collected from their pay checks.
Dear Editor,
The mind-set of our people is still that everything coming from the other side of the Pond is needed, just and must be seen as an opportunity to change and do things better; that mind-set does not have room for questioning with what we are showered with. The few times, some of these decisions were questioned it was seen as a disservice to the people.
Dear Editor,
Today there were two articles in The Daily Herald that set me to thinking. The front page article under the heading “We have a lost generation that we have to deal with”, and the ad by SZV on page 16.
Dear Editor,
As reported in the media, the perception that “amending the Constitution” is the only solution to stop “ship-jumping” and the further continuing demise of Government on St. Maarten (4 times in just about 5 years) is utterly absurd and uninformed.
