Good news. What I learned yesterday is they “all” like the previous prefect and the PPRN needs a rewrite.
What I heard said is if they get that theyll all go home. Maybe mission accomplished for now.

Did alot more reading/listening and heard many calling for a unification of st martin/st maarten long- term and that they are big on land rights for the locals and that they are willing to sacrifice short term tourism economic gains for long term ability to build/transfer wealth to their children/grandchildren. This PPRN really struck a nerve. As it should IMHO.

Weve been keeping a eye and trigger finger on a backup dutch side place that is simple/inexpensive and we would just end up with two lodgings to sleep in on both sides if we pull that trigger. This morning so far says keep watching.
