Dear Editor,
Respect seems to be the trending topic, so I can’t help but comment on MP Jensen-Webster’s concern about of the budget’s lack of respect for St. Maarten’s MPs’ airline seating.
The other day I was at the courthouse annex (the former Parliament building on Back Street) and noticed what appears to be a serious lack of respect for St. Maarten’s Judiciary. Their building needs powerwashing to remove pigeon dirt, its eaves are broken and in need of repainting, the front door latch is missing, the door itself requires re-varnishing.
Tourists have eyes. The government should be far more cognizant of those than of MPs’ “seats.”
