Leo Lambriex was
feeling frustrated.Goodmorning St Maarten, I Really Hope You Read All of This Down To The End Its So Important All Our Lives Depend On This!
Comparison of damages from IRMA on St Maarten & Maria on St Thomas you can say were hit almost about equal! St Thomas was hit after we were yet is still 100% ahead of the game with being ready for business.
Yes cleanup efforts were great, but not greatly organized!
We have many issues why our November 5th didn't become a reality, all have to do with Ministry TEATT & VROMI!
How can we be ready and front street some are under full construction and others not even attempted to start rebuild? Many were at ground zero but have already repaired and rebuilt and are now ready while many still stay idle....
Why cruise guest choose ships in winter months to cruise the Caribbean?! Warm Climate and Beautiful Beaches....
What Beaches do we have to offer? Greatbay & that's it?
Why does St Thomas already have it's economy starting to catch itself and ships returning?
They ensured all clean up was done along all touristic routes and areas visited. They opened 3 beaches with all facilities and amenities needed! It was so important to have that even Cruiseline got involved and assisted in this URGENT EFFORT TO BE COMPLETELY READY!
This paid off for them as for November they will have 20+ ships.
Other issues like debris along major roads like in front Greatbay Hotel. Or Burnt Car Wreck on Link 2.. Boat wrecks along major road ways still there... Harold Jack lookout normally already a busy area now for last 1month or more with debris and debris and constrcuction also making area unsafe not because of IRMA but our Government.... Front Street dug up not because of IRMA but our Government..... Two dump sites in both Cole Bay by movies, and Simpsonbay by Kimsha are although barred off a huge distraction and eyesore aswell as at KIMSHA A HAZARD for beach goers..... Dangerous potholes around many of road ways like Belair corner, Cole Bay corner by Tropicana, and much more.....
These are all issues that our Government could have ensured to have repaired/resolved through their appointed MINISTERS responsible!
Well I think we all should know our delay in getting back to normal is the Government who is not focused and prioritized.
The trickle down effect:
•No ships = No p.p. head tax! How much revenue lost there alone?! 135,000 × $ ? = $ ??? (finance minister? teatt minister?)
•Over 45 various ship calls cancelled until 1st Ship returns. 45 ships x 3000 (average amt not exact and might be A lot more akso) = 135,000 cruisers imagine how nice that would have been for our economy!
•No TOT being collected by all who depend on Tourism! Bus companies, Tour Companies, Indian Merchants & Many Other Stores. (Finance minister? What's average lost if you compare 2016 to have an idea for same October, November, December?)
•No Wage Taxes, Szv, Aov for all who were laid off?! (Finance minister? What's average lost if you compare 2016 to have an idea for same October, November, December?)
For sure we in the MILLIONS (WHICH COULD BE USED TO PUT BACK INTO ECONOMY AND ASSIST MANY HOMELESS AND ROOFLESS FAMILIES)
SOMETHING MUST BE DONE! PEOPLE WE MUST HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE!
All of ABOVE are ISSUES are things that were promised to have SOLUTION and RESOLVE to our Cruise Partners yet we have NOT MADE A MOVE YET! This WHY NO SHIPS YET!

7 november 2017.. https://www.thedailyherald.sx/islands/70768-governor-holiday-requests-mr-franklin-meyers-to-form-interim-government
DEN HAAG – De grootste coalitiepartij VVD vraagt zich af het het niet tijd is geworden dat Nederland nu bestuurlijk gaat ingrijpen op Sint-Maarten om de wederopbouw op het eiland te starten.
De VVD heeft kritiek op de gouverneur die nieuwe verkiezingen uit heeft geschreven, te midden van de chaos waarin het eiland zich bevindt na orkaan Irma. “Moeten we dan niet constateren dat er sprake is van slecht bestuur?”, vraag VVD-Kamerlid, André Bosman zich af. “En is daarmee de waarborgfunctie van de Rijksministerraad niet aan de orde?”
De meeste partijen zijn het erover eens dat de verkiezingen op een slecht moment komen, maar willen liever dat Nederland desnoods hulp gaat bieden om de verkiezingen over drie maanden goed te organiseren als dat kan.
Verkiezingen uitstellen
VVD wil ook dat de verkiezingen op Sint-Maarten – die over drie maanden plaatsvinden – met een jaar worden uitgesteld. “Een groot deel van de bevolking heeft nog geen dak boven het hoofd en nog geen adres waar de stemkaarten naartoe moeten worden gestuurd”, aldus Bosman.
Ook oppositiepartij SP wil van staatssecretaris Knops weten hoe hij over ingrijpen denkt. “Is hij met mij eens dat de wederopbouw van Sint-Maarten niet meer kan wachten? Welke mogelijkheden ziet hij binnen het Statuut om als Nederland die wederopbouw zélf ter hand te nemen?”, aldus SP-Kamerlid Ronald van Raak.
Voorwaarden
Het geld voor de wederopbouw van Sint-Maarten komt niet zolang de Nederlandse regering geen zekerheid heeft dat de Integriteitskamer en grensbewaking door de Koninklijke Marechaussee komen. Daar zijn alle partijen over eens. Zij willen van Knops weten of er nog kans is op een akkoord.
De Nederlandse regering vreest ervoor dat de garanties die Sint-Maarten nu eventueel gaat geven voor de hulpfonds, na de verkiezingen ‘teruggedraaid’ worden.
Woensdag gaat het debat verder en is staatssecretaris Knops aan de beurt om antwoord te geven op de verschillende Kamervragen.

DEN HAAG – Mocht er in januari nieuwe verkiezingen komen op Sint-Maarten, lijkt een akkoord tussen Nederland en Sint-Maarten – voor een miljoenenfonds voor de wederopbouw na orkaan Irma – er niet meer te komen.Het Sint-Maartense parlement heeft de regering van premier William Marlin donderdag weggestuurd, omdat Marlin niet volledig instemt met de strikte voorwaarden. Maar staatssecretaris Raymond Knops (Koninkrijksrelaties) wil alléén ‘zakendoen’ met een regering die voor een langere periode gaat zitten op Sint-Maarten. Nederland vreest ervoor dat beslissingen na de verkiezingen anders ‘teruggedraaid’ kunnen worden.
Het Sint-Maartense parlement heeft donderdag ingestemd met de strikte Nederlandse voorwaarden voor een miljoenenfonds, maar dat is voor Knops niet voldoende. “De meerderheid die vandaag er is, is niet zeker voor de komende tijd. Dus dat zorgt voor een politiek onzekere situatie. Dat is precies de reden waarom ik graag van de gouverneur wil weten hoe hij daarin staat.”
Nederland wil actie
De staatssecretaris wil ‘een standpunt innemen’ na zijn gesprek met de gouverneur, het regeringshoofd en de vertegenwoordiger van de koning op Sint-Maarten. “De ministerraad steunt mij tot nu toe. En ook in de dingen die ik nog ga doen”, aldus Knops – die stelt ‘buitengewoon serieus’ te zijn om het fonds snel te gaan realiseren en wil voorkomen dat het fonds opnieuw wordt uitgesteld. “De mensen op Sint-Maarten helpen, daar is het om te doen.”
Mogelijk houdt Knops’ besluit in dat Nederland bestuurlijk gaat ingrijpen op Sint-Maarten. Tegenover de pers wilde Knops vrijdag daarover niet op ingaan.
“We willen dat het Nederlands geld goed besteed wordt. En daar willen we niet lichtvaardig over doen. Die voorwaarden staan overeind.”
Naar Sint-Maarten
De kersverse staatssecretaris van Koninkrijksrelaties verwacht dat hij op z’n vroegst over twee weken naar Sint-Maarten voor kennismaking met politici en om verdere gesprekken over de wederopbouw te voeren.
