Dear Editor,
Please allow me some space in your newspaper to address the chairman of the house of parliament, the honourable Lloyd Richardson and the honourable members of parliament of country Sint Maarten.
Dear Editor,
It is a very high standard, but a very basic tenement of management. The fact is that a settlement of this size is catastrophic for the harbour.
Dear Editor,
Permit me to express a word of caution to our new Minister of VROMI, Claret Connor. I write this article with such a heavy heart, because I know that you are not in the right place but as much as I would like the situation to be different, only you have the authority to choose the direction of your life. However, it is the prerogative of any individual to make comments that could generate further thought. With this in mind, I would like to bring a few points forward, with the hope that, you, the minister would give them some consideration.
Dear Editor,
I read “an explanation to our readers” and the “Publisher’s Note” and in no way would I think of trying to defend any editor of any newspaper because it remains the prerogative of the editor to print or not to print. What I know is that black on white is condemning.
Dear Editor,
If government officials cannot address the public in a sober and civil manner, then they need to reconsider their position and move on. It is totally unacceptable for representatives of the people to express themselves in ways that are substandard to effective leadership. This pattern of behaviour seems to be a developing trend - a style that exposes their state of mind – a mind that is overruled by frustration, which has lead them to the point where they are unable to guide their thoughts.
