Dear Reader
In our newsletter today, we report on ten
women who have been recognized for their contributions in our society. These women include the gifted and talented
Helen Hart, recognized with a PHF for her inspiring musical work with the youth. We also congratulate our colleague in the industry,
Alita Singh, for her award as well.
Today, we also report about the Governor receiving the
final report from the informateurs, a process that well-known Constitutional expert, Julio Romney, considers not only a waste of time and money but also an infringement on our democratic rights. We will be bringing you an article about his opinion on this matter.
Julio Romney also advised that we change our slogan from “The Virtual Newspaper for Country St. Maarten” to just “The Virtual Newspaper for
Country St. Maarten”. So you also know now how he stands on this issue as well: he does not consider St. Maarten a country. More to come on this topic as well...
We hope you enjoy this issue of our newsletter. We certainly enjoyed putting it together and we had lots of fun because of what is yet to come.
Have a great day!
