Philipsburg: --- Members of the Democratic Party particularly Sarah Wescot Williams said her faction is rather concerned about the increasing crime rate on St. Maarten. As well as the lack of a clear plan or approach from those responsible for crime fighting. She said they does not believe the people of St. Maarten would get a miracle when it comes to fighting crime, however, they believe that the people need to know what are the plans and suggestions for crime fighting.
Some of the things they need to know are if there is any relief forthcoming and are there plans that residents can look forward to in terms of fighting crime. She said it would not be acceptable to hear that they are working on fighting crime. She said they need concrete answers as to what the central government going to do about crime fighting. She said that since the answers are not readily coming forward they would be calling on the Lt. Governor and chief of police react and give the people some answers as to who would come forward with the necessary financing to fight crime.
