Unbiased look at the Sint Maarten Elections
Wescot Williams further told reporters that just recently she received a letter from the chair of parliament requesting that she relinquish her positions on two committees of Parlatino because ever since she took office she refused to attend Parlatino meetings. Wescot Williams said that the chair of Parliament wants her to give up her position on these committees so that other Members of Parliament could have them in order for them to travel and attend the meetings. She said she responded to chair by letter explaining to him that her reasons for not attending the Parlatino meetings are simple. The first being Parliament did not get the amount of monies they requested for travel, second the parliament of St. Maarten does not have an entity set up to follow up on the Parlatio meetings. Wescot Williams further explained that when she gets the invitations the first thing she does is check the schedule of Parliament and if there are meetings scheduled then she will not attend those Parlatino meetings because her first priority is what takes place in the parliament of St. Maarten. Wescot Williams said she also informed the chair that she will not relinquish her positions on the two committees but she will continue with her stance and monitor what is taking place at the parliament of St. Maarten.
