LinkGodspeed to Ms. Jacobs. This time the Dutch are truly out of line in their demands, in my opinion.

From my understanding, the conditions to this money basically would allow three persons from the Netherlands to in effect govern SXM (and Curacao and Aruba). Governments of all three islands have said no to the conditions. While I know very little about the governing mechanisms of the Kingdom, I think the island governments are claiming that the procedure the Dutch are demanding does not comply with Kingdom law.
I actually was in support of the Dutch conditions post Irma for the aid. This time they seem out of line.

On the other hand, one of the conditions of the Irma aid was to establish an integrity committee. They are still meeting about it every once in awhile.
There is merit on both sides, however either way, darned if you do, darned if you don't. I don't see Plan B anywhere on the horizon.

I actually thought that they had passed the Integrity Chamber, but then it seemed to fade away..
