I liked the part in the article that stated, "The French government’s promise to deliver substantial help was not an empty one. It allocated more than $500 million in aid and subsidies in the first six months after the storm to the recovery and reconstruction of Saint-Martin and the smaller, nearby French island of Saint-Barthélemy, according to Sylvie Feucher, the French state’s top representative based in the two territories." $500 million in aid and very little has been done to date??? I think the French Side might need an independent council to control these funds, as is the case on the Dutch side? Just sayin'
