Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
PHILIPSBURG, St. Maarten - Leader of the Democratic Party MP Sarah Wescot-Williams Wednesday confirmed that on Wednesday she informed the chairman of Parliament of her faction's intention to pick up the draft timeshare initiative laws and continue with the process.
According to MP Wescot-Williams, as is the case with initiative laws, the initiators are responsible for the process.
It is also customary that a faction can continue the process, started by one or more of its members, no longer in Parliament, as is the case with these drafts.
I also informed Minister Conner of my intentions and suggested that we meet to plan the way forward with these drafts.
I did so to avoid any overlapping and or doubling of efforts. In July of last year, the Council of Advice advised on these drafts. That is also a prerequisite for the further handling.
The DP leader concluded by stating that as far as she has been able to ascertain, this is where the 2 drafts are at, one on a timeshare authority and the other on regulating the industry, (Timeshare ordinance).
