Philipsburg: --- An Island Council meeting is scheduled for tomorrow to discuss the letter that was sent to the chairman of the island council by the ruling Democratic Party claiming that they have six signatures which is the majority in the island council. The meeting was requested by the National Alliance faction members namely leader of the Leader of the party William Marlin and councilman Rodolphe Samuel. Some two weeks ago the Democratic Party government fell after Commissioner Louie Laveist submitted a letter of resignation to the Democratic Party and well as a letter informing the chairman of the island council that he withdrew his support from the DP led government. Laveist also publicly declared he was supporting the National Alliance. Days after the political drama hit center stage Laveist returned to the DP without giving clear explanations why he changed his mind. The National Alliance requested the island council meeting in an effort to gather more information and inform the people of St. Maarten.
