Dear Reader
Only with hindsight do you understand certain decisions or put them into perspective.
Why do political parties during formation talks always want the ministry that controls the harbour? Or VROMI, for that matter. “
Because that’s where the money is.” Read Hilbert Haar's opinion piece titled "
Corporate Governance" to understand what we are talking about.
You know StMaartenNews.com has become mainstream media when the NRC calls from The Netherlands to ask for permission to reference one of your articles, which they did in their
publication today about the FIOD investigating VolkerWessel's subsidiary for bribery charges.
Have a great day and do enjoy reading our news articles in this edition.
If you appreciate our email newsletter service, do send us an email to let us know what you think.
