Philipsburg:--- The Members of Parliament from the United Peoples Party Faction and their Leader Deputy Prime Minister Theodore Heyliger met on Monday at the Government Administration Building to discuss the status of their party. SMN News has been reliably informed that the UP Members of Parliament met with their leader, adviser to the party Joe Richardson, and Minister Franklin Meyers to work on strategic ways of dealing with the meeting called by the National Alliance to discuss the vote of Jules on November 17th, 2011. That meeting was scheduled for Tuesday but was cancelled because the National Alliance leader requested that it be taken off the agenda for Tuesday as he is currently off island with his wife seeking medical attention.
SMN News learnt that the UP leader and advisers want Jules James who is the General Manager of Simpson Bay Resort to stay as much as possible in the background at the SBRMC. The source said that the UP leader and advisers want James to stay away from the workers of SBRMC while he should not be the one to sign any documents on behalf of the company while being a Member of Parliament.
SMN News also learnt that the UP Members had a discussion with their faction leader Romain La Ville who is at odds with the party regarding the SBRMC saga. The source said the UP leader also discussed with his faction leader prior to Monday's meeting. It is understood that Romain La Ville has promised to be loyal to his party despite their differences of opinion. La Ville could not be reached on Monday for a comment. SMN News learnt that La Ville did not show up for work neither did he attend any of the Parliamentary meetings since being at odds with his party. Sources say that the President of Parliament is threatening to have monies deducted from La Ville's salary for the days he did not show up to work or did not attend the meetings.
In the meantime, the members of the UP fraction met with their coalition partners from the Democratic Party on Monday afternoon. SMN News learnt that the meeting was called by the Democratic Party Faction mainly to discuss the Jules James saga.

    What is wrong with these people? On the background with SBRMC? This is bigger than the Pelican saga. It is about our constitution and the conflict of interest of members of parliament!

    Judas James needs to resign immediately!

    Gracita is out of this world and doesn't know what her function is.

    I was giving Romain the benefit of the doubt, but he too can kiss this part of my body where the sun doesn't shine.

    I am for a democracy in which you have to deal with the government the people elected, but I'm reaching a point that I don't want to wait for next elections.......

    Dun Wid It!!!

    This is what is needed in government. Party needs to hocker down and start planning for the onslaught of the opposition. Romaine Laville is the faction leader of the UP but despite his youth, the man has limited experience in handling such a serious situation. He is a smart young fellow but not yet a politician. The party need advisors like Joe Richardson with a wealth of experience to advise this young group who are up against veterans like marlin, who know how to rock your boat. Every side has two stories. I personally think that Jules James should not be voting on the Resort issue because he is directly involved as GM. But everyone has overlooked where the real pressure on Parliament is coming from. Louis Laveist, who has a sister who worked for pelican resort. A direct relationship with his venomous attacks on the government. The acting Lt Gov also has a direct link to this saga, because his wife is one of the employees of the resort. So he too has his agenda against Jules. So why not sink Jules James and the UP at the same time. So let us wait for the meeting and hear more of the same

    rumor has it....MP Louie Laveist should not have voted on the NA motion about Simpson Bay Resort last November because he has a blood relation working at the hotel.....and that this according to the constition is not correct....so UP was going to bring this forward in the meeting....hmmmmm

  • No problem!

    There is a gap in the law and an oversight in democracy.

    The people will have to decide.

    The Lord was gracious enough to present more than 2 examples to us in dealing with these matters but we have not learned a thing. How often must a leader be brought down by a 'weak link in the chain' before he/she learn????

    Many have failed to realize we no longer can play the blame game....All eyes are now on the Government of St. Maarten. Now more than ever it is important for Theo and Sarah to say "Shape up or get out".

    Laws can be amended!!!!!

    @ Rumour

    Louie Laveist is not on Pelican Resort payroll.

  • HELLO
    avatar

    at all, LL may not be on the the Pelican payroll, but we all know who that family member of his is. LL do the honorable thing also and divorce. It is a shame to have an outside child and also acknowledged by you LL with the person who is about 20 years your junior. That I call shamefull by you to our SXM people and calling yourself a PM and also very digraceful to your wife. SXM is small and we all know what is going on through the backdoor. WM cannot chastise you for this because he dioes the same. Youth is his game/toy also the younger the better.

  • why

    If you going to write about LL then write about Roy Marlin to. he to is MP have a child with a girl that is 30 year younger than he is as a matter of fact her mother use to work for Franklyn Meyer
    So is it good for the goose and not for the gander? you all are to f**king byas

    HELLO YOU REALLY SEEM TO BE LOOKING THROUGH THE WRONG BACK DOOR IN GETTING THE PROBLEM SOLVE AT PELICAN RESORT.

    WHILE WORKERS ARE SUFFERING OTHERS FIND IT QUITE ENTERTAINING TO DISCUSS SORRY I MEAN TO INDULGE THEMSELVES IN GOSSIPING.

    SIMPLE MIND BUSY THEMSELVES WITH TRIVIAL MATTERS, MEANINGLESS ISSUES, DUMB THINGS.

    HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO HELP SOLVE THE PROBLEM AFFECTING THE WORKERS AT PELICAN RESORT besides looking through the back door????????????????

    DID HIS LADY COMPLAIN TO YOU ABOUT HIM AND DID SHE TAKE YOU IN SERVICE AS HER ATTORNEY TO GO AFTER HIM?????????????????????

    PLEASE LIVE AND LET LIVE AND DO SOMETHING WORTH WHILE.RATHER THAN INTERFERING WITH PEOPLES PERSONAL LIFE.

    THANK GOD I DON'T LIVE ANY WHERE CLOSE TO YOU BECAUSE YOU REALLY FIT THE DISCRIPTION OF BEING A NEWSY NEIGHBOUR.

    PLEASE GET A LIFE.

    So agree with Wise or Wacky.

    Also,
    1. The motion presented by the N A WAS NOT ABOUT LOUIS LAVEIST, BUT ABOUT JULES JAMES AND THE SBRMC THAT BELONGS TO JULES JAMES. (Established Dec. 2010)

    2. Roy Marlin had a child with a minor (14 years old) and that is statutory rape. He should have been jailed, but big money, house in Belvedere and government vehicle pa**ed hands. If Sarah was a woman with a heart, she would have asked him to resign since then, but they all cover up each other's wrongdoings.

    As Wise or Wacky rightfully puts it, this saga is about the workers at Pelican who are catching their royal hell while these politicians can afford to stay away from work and still get paid. Bob Marley's lyrics to one of his songs said, "A hungry man is an angry man". Keep messing with these former workers and God help you according to your inequities when they rile up and rear back and tip the scales in an effort to regain the balance in their lives.

    BEFORE ACCUSING AND "ATTACKNG" MR.10% CALLED THEO WE SHOULD FIRST ANALYZE AND a**ESS HIS ROLE BEFORE Pa**ING JUDGEMENT.

    LETS START UNDERSTANDING HOW MR.10% CALLED THEO IS RESHAPING HIS STRATEGY AND APPROACH IN DEALING WITH THE GREAT INJUSITICE BEEN DONE TO THE WORKERS AT PELICAN FOR STANDING UP FOR THEIR RIGHTS.

    FIRST MR.10% OR THEO CALLS HIS FLOCKS OOPS STOOGES TOGETHER SO THEY CAN BAN THEMSELVES TOGETHER, SO THEY CAN GEL TOGETHER TO FOR AN UNBREKABLE BOND TO CONTINUE THEIR ONSLAUGHT ON THE POOR PELICAN WORKERS.

    NOW MR.10% CALLED THEO APPROACH TO DEAL WITH THAT SITUATION IS BY:

    A) INSTRUCTING PARLIAMTENTARIAN ROMAIN LA VILLE TO BE LOYAL TO UP PARTY AND NOT TO THE WORKERS OF PELICAN RESORT BY STAYINGAWAY FROM THEM WHOM BOTH OF THEM SHOULD BE REPRESENTING IN THE FIRST AND FOREMOST PLACE AS GOVERNMENT.

    B) INSTRUCTING PARLIAMENTARIAN JUDAS JAMES TO BE LOYAL TO UP PARTY AND NOT SIGN ANYTHING FOR PELICAN SBRMC FORMERLY KNOWN AS PELICAN RESORT BUT DON'T STOP Ha**LING AND HURTING THE POOR PELICAN WORKERS BY REFUSING TO PAY THEM OUT FOR THE YEARS THEY WORK THERE AND OFFER THEM THE DREAD 6 MONTHS CONTRACT WITH OUT GIVING THEM A COPY OF IT.

    CONCLUSIONS:

    A) YES MR.10% CALLED THEO EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOWS THAT YOU ARE SEEMINGLY A SHAREHOLDER OF SBRMS AND TO GUARANTEE A GOOD KICKBACK INTO YOUR POCKET LABOUR EXPLOITATION AND LABOUR ABUSE MUST CONTINUE ON THE WORKERS AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT.

    B) YES MR.10% CALLED THEO EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOWS THAT PARLIAMENTARIAN JUDAS JAMES IS NOTHING ELSE BUT YOUR HOUSE SLAVE LIVING ON YOUR PLANTATION CALLED UP PARTY.

    C) YES MR.10% CALLED THEO EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOWS THAT PARLIAMENTARIAN ROMAIN LA VILLE SUFFERS FROM A CRYING SPELL BECAUSE WHY BECAUSE:

    A) HE "CRIES" WHEN HE HAS TO DEFEND THE POOR WORKERS AT PELICAN RESORT.

    B) HE CRIES WHEN HE a**ISTS YOU IN DESTROYING THE PORR WORKERS AT PELICAN RESORT.

    CONCLUSION:
    PARLIAMENTARIAN ROMAIN LA VILLE DOES NOT KNOW WHEN TO CRY OR NOT.

    SHAME ON YOU MR.10% CALLED THEO YOUR GREED FOR MORE HAS NO END IN SIGHT.

    For those of you out there that realy don't have a clue of what went down in Pelican Resort and how we the employees feel,
    Jules James is there to do a job, The polititians went fishing to see who they can find that is is greedy and love money and to do their dirty work and they catch " A man of God" in their fish net.
    How can he turn down the offer $$$$$$ when he is paid to screw the workers.It is public secret that, Teo, Sarah and Franky all are shareholders at the resort. that is why they never came down to see what is taking place.Some women that just got their dutch pasport voted for Sarah , and though that as she is a woman we could have gotten her support but... helas nothing. She knew where to find us when it was voting time , but I gues her car can't come in our neighbourhood no more, with that "sincere" and wonderfull smile and saying she is an animal lover. Let me make this clear, they threw us out 2 times what is that we are not dogs. we might be Room attendants but we are human being .
    What is hurting me is that most of us went tro Pelican young and vibrant young women & men , but most women,

    We went to work there and now that we work our a...... off and is time for retirement we are been kicked abused and spat upon and they don't have no use for us anymore, and sent us home without a penny, i think that is very unfair, many of us still have mortgage, some rent and have other bills, some are not retirement age and have small children, only who is in the kitchen feels it.
    We give you our youthfull years, all we are asking for is. please please just pay us what is due to us and put a closureto this saga, so we can go on with our lives We will leave the hotel for history to repeat it self, because as I can see is only certain families can live comfortable in St. Maarten and the rest have to struggle. That is why I feel sad that a man like Jules from the little village of St. James, who forgot where he came from and should know that these people realy don't love him , he is black and only there to do the dirty work, it is sad how he got caught, but I hope he wake up before it is too late.
    They could not get through with the former General managers they were too smart, now he is the poor local black sheep that as soon as he sees "green $$$" he gone stupid and this is the reasults So in conclussion to those people that are wondering what the hell those employees of Pelican wants, we realy don't care of going back just give us what is due to us . Politicians ............. see you next three years at the party where you will recognize & remember us so that you can waltz with us again .......................
