Dear Reader
Good news for those who need to get around the island at night:
Curfew is now in effect from 12am midnight to 5am in the morning. For businesses, such as bars and restaurants, this is a welcome alleviation in the effort to get back to normalcy in terms of generating much needed revenues after the economic and financial crippling effects of hurricane Irma. Therefore a justified decision by our local government in cooperation with the French side authorities.
Justice is also being served in another way as looters are to face prosecution in a special fasttrack court-session on October 18th, 2017. Read the full post-Irma update from the Public Prosecutor's Office online via the article posted below.
In an effort to give the children the just attention they deserve and an outlet for their stories about hurricane Irma, the Foresee Foundation is requesting submissions with stories from children about their experiences during and after hurricane Irma. The deadline for submitting Irma stories is Monday, October 23rd 2017. Read the full details online via the article posted below.
The meeting of Parliament, scheduled to be continued yesterday has been postponed and will now take place on Wednesday afternoon at 2 pm. This change will allow the Prime Minister to meet with
Dutch Minister Plasterk and inform parliament of the position of the Kingdom government regarding St. Maarten, directly from " the horse's mouth".
"It was totally unclear during the first part of the meeting of parliament how this relationship is currently and there seemed to be a lack of communication between the two entities. We hope Minister Plasterk's visit will bring some clarity." wrote President of Parliament, Sarah Wescot-Williams, in an emailed urgent notice yesterday morning.
Read what Dutch Minister Plasterk had to say about that here.
