What's new with the Alegria water rights scandal?

September 6, 2022

PHILIPSBURG:--- Wheeling and dealing among politicians and civil servants continue as the government of St. Maarten struggles to stay afloat.
SMN News received some internal information on the Alegria scandal that we believe the people of St. Maarten should know.
Didn’t MP Raeyhon Peterson say publicly that he always rendered negative advice regarding the issuance of water rights to Alegria, then why is Michael Schoon asking him about the advice, and if he discussed it with then Minister Chris Weever?
