Dear Editor,
It is very sad and disappointing our parliamentarians and ministers don’t have price controllers out there in the groceries stores to deal with the high prices at the groceries and supermarkets.
Parliamentarians and ministers, stop representing the people [like that – Ed.] and represent the people in a proper way. Wake up from your slumber and work in the interest of your people. Help adjust the cost of living on the island.
Why are surveys still showing St. Maarten people are saying for years all the politicians are the same? For years St. Maarten people are not satisfied with the kind of representation from both parliamentarians and ministers.
The 15 parliamentarians and seven ministers, please focus on the cry and needs of your citizens. You all are focusing too much on projects and not your people. St. Maarten has poverty and shame on St. Maarten’s minimum wage.
St. Maarten people are suffering with high cost of living and rent rates.
It is time Dutch state secretaries stop meeting with only representatives and not the people who dwell on the territories.
