SMN News has learnt that former commissioner Frankie Meyers was one of the persons who were supposed to be appointed commissioner under the National Alliance. In an invited comment Meyers said he has no interest in politics. "I have no more political aspirations, I served my country already and have resigned from politics to manage my own businesses. All I am interested in now is to do business in and around St. Maarten" Meyers said. "While there are reports out there that states I am going back in Government none of the reporters ever called me to see if that is indeed so, Meyers told this reporter.
Leader of Government Sarah Wescot Williams met with the board of the Democratic Party last night where she informed them that the remaining executive council members would be resigning as early as tomorrow. Already commissioner Maria Buncamper Molanus, Commissioner Roy Marlin and Wescot Williams have cleared their office spaces to pave the way for their colleagues in the Island Council. So far the only notification the Chairman of the island council got is the resignation from Commissioner Louie Laveist who will not be sitting in the new structure even though he holds a seat in the Island Council.
"While we do need a change the new team would be faced with lots of problems because the island is under higher supervision and everything that has to be done has to pass through Curacao" one source said.
