SMN News has been reliably informed that the chairlady via her "right hand" Franklyn Hanze sent out an amended proposal to some of the members of the United Peoples Party faction and Dr. Lloyd Richardson. Those that received the amended proposal are Jules James, Dr. Lloyd Richardson, Patrick Illidge, Petrus Leroy de Weever, Roman Laville and Silvia Meyers. In the meantime the other five members of the National Alliance William Marlin, George Pantophlet, Frans Richardson, Hyacinth Richardson and Louie Laveist including UP members Johan Janchi Leonard and Dr. Ruth Douglas along with DP member Roy Marlin did not get the amended proposal.
The amended proposal which is to be discussed during the central committee has the monthly expenditures for Hanze as the following:-
Lodging - 20 days @ Fl. 250,00 5000,00
Meals - 25 days @ Fl. 125,00 3125,00
Rental Car 20 days @ Fl. 140,00 2800,00
Travel Vouchers - 4.3 @ Fl. 565,00 2429,50
Airport Tax - 4.3 @ Fl. 41,50 178,45
Fee Flat Rate 26.000,00
Total monthly cost Fl. 39.532,95
In the meantime the chairlady of parliament Gracita Arrindell is still to finalise the discussions with USONA to see if they would undertake Hanze's expenses as a consultant to St. Maarten during its transition period. Currently the members of parliament SMN News understands are very concerned about who will cover the expenses should USONA object to taking it over. SMN News also learnt that while the project director Denis Richardson was working on the proposal, Hanze and Arrindell made up their own proposal and presented it to parliament on Monday. The first proposal had a weekly expense to the tune of Naf. 11, 210. It must also be noted that Franklyn Hanze has his own legal consultancy firm.
