so shameless, it makes my admire them all for their guts and their relentless efforts to make a buck.

Frans would do anything for some money, so why not sell the NA out?

Theo and Toochi rule sxm, it is just simple as that.

(sigh) another casino again??? Let's see how long this one is going to last...

Isn't Obencio Frans campaign manager?

When I watched Oral Gibbs show tonight, I caught that much.

Really, Oral, thanks for the line up.

You said it correctly, helping the people??????

franky u should be shame of yourself
everything to get a buck
all u dream AND SEE ALL DAY IS MONEY
AND THE POOR SUFFERING
SHAME ON U
A BUNCH OF SCAMPS!!!!!!

Yall vote for them , LMAO ;-)

Well i don't care what nobody say, its local and let it stay local, at least the money will stay in St. Maarten and would not have to transfer overseas. Instead of we big up our own here we go again trying to keep them down. Finally a casino is being owned by a local. WE AS LOCALS HAVE TO STOP DIVIDING AMONG EACH OTHER AND START STANDING TOGETHER.

The people of sxm will never stop judging others, they go crazy and slam the person without getting all the facts of story. Why can't you people wait and then criticize? Then again, a local has a chance to own a casino and there they go again cranking up their CRAB MENTALITIES. If anything is a shame its the way we enjoy putting each other down for our 15 minutes of fame on the internet. SMH.

The lack of money is the root of all evil. And Frans needs it to complete his large project in Betty's Estate.

Bunch a crooks

I totally agree with "AAA" and "Talkshow". It is nothing else than
GREED, because as one of u said Wasn't Obencio Fleming Frans's Campaign Manager.? I hope the ppl of SXM is getting the message, it is all about self interest, nothing to do with the ppl of SXM. Imagine Patrick Illidge and Frans Richardson strenghtning the opposition, who is doing NOTHING for the ppl of SXM, only for themselves. Well Patrick said he did what he did to be able to help the ppl more from the Ruling Party and not the OPPOSITION BENCH. Patrick when will u start? I am "Leaning" on u and the wall is crumbling and I have not seen anything u did for anyone, more than voting for whatever the UPP/DP propose and voting against everything the OPPOSITION proposes. But the ppl are looking, it is not like long time ago., ppl are waking up and smelling the coffee.
Having a strong Ruling Party is detrimental to ALL of the ppl of the island, whether U voted for or against. But time will tell. It is telling already, e.g the GEBE, WHEN WILL WE GET THE PROMISED RELIEF in your campaign promises.????
Next Year of in 2014. It will be TOO LATE. All of the ppl of SXM will be bankrupt, except all of you with your FAT SALARIES. Frustration is growing amongst the ppl and it will soon be demonstrated. That's why ppl do not trust the POLITICIANS
They themselves is doing this to themselves. Frans I hope U will stop writing Bounced checks, even during campaign time. Why do u think you received less votes the last time? Do u think it's because U were on the list of the NA. ??? It is because of your reputation of distrust. FOOD FOR THOUGHT:!!!

It's incredible to see how naive some of us St. Maarteners are, they actually talking about it's a local so it's ok and the money staying here! Come on man!!!! These so called "locals" are screwing the rest of the island, everybody suffering and they getting richer because they in Government! It's so sad that many of us can't see what's going on, they are so accustomed to being screwed over that they starting to like it! Please people.........

WHAT A THING!!!!!!!!!

The NA / HEYLIGER GOVERNMENT granted or approved the casino license but the five day EXECUTIVE COUNCIL that took office in OCTOBER last year supported by LITTLE LUCIFER turn down the license.

In a turn around of 180 degrees the government supported by LITTLE LUCIFER now grants the very same license.

For many politicians their support hinges on a price to be paid.

In other words I SCRATCH YOUR BACK AND YOU SCRATCH Mine.

There is no such thing about LOYALTY but rather WHAT IS IN THERE FOR ME?

Or I can solve your problem but here is the price you must pay.

FRANS HIS CONSCIENSE IS REALLY IN CONFLICT WITH HIS CONCEIT.

The three Bikini lovers making deals for their own personal enrichment.
Rolando Gumbs, Obencio Fleming and Frans Richardson doing all they can to fill their own pockets.Rollando has to make sure there is new bikinis for the traveling events... What a thing at the expense of the people. But then again the politicians dont owe the SXM people a damn thing. They paid you all to vote for them so that they can get into office to get rich, while you and your children suck salt.

For all THE WICKEDNESS that is going on in St. Maarten, an economic collapse, A natural disaster like a Category 5 Hurricane or a 7.0 or higher earthquake is way over-due!

We're asking for it and we're going to get it.

The question is not if, but WHEN!

Frans this is a way to help all those people who were laid off after Gingis closed his casino leaving over 75 young St. Maarteners on the road. Hmmnn... You are faced with a serious situation with the Bank holding the paper on your building......If you don;t pay them you lose it all. Do what you need to do. and get your boy Obensio up and running. You know he will not let you down, by closing and firing all the workers. This is an effort to secure the ?St.Maarten young people. this contry has one sided vision. Jealousy is killing all of them. you had vision to open up the movie business and Theo screwed you by allowing the Iraninan to put in a bigger theatre a stones throw away. You got into politics to stop the BS..now you got the seat make it work for you me boy. Don't go down, when you can save yourself. After this election just resign and move on. Take some advice. Theo win again. He crushed NA, DP and now he is in charge of the government. BRILLIANT POLITICIAN. You gotto give credit where credit is due.

Why do people like to say we get the government we deserve because they paid us to vote for them? Are these people saying that they paid off over 2000 people? They probably paid off a few people but not all. So until we know how much people were paid to vote a certain way...i think we need to stop acting like its everyone who voted. I don't know what Frans plan are but I do not like people who are not loyal!

Obama is in the doghouse right now....it is all about JOBS. JOBS, JOBS. theo and Frankie is about jobs for the young people. One casino close means peopleout of work for the upcoming season. 100 workers with Dutch pa**ports means 200 moouths well fed. I want Frans to get us some jobs NOW. don't worry with them sick peeps, who don't care cause they are so color blind with politics.

They are only looking to build Casino's and prisons.

Try building schools and give better education to our young people so they don't have to sell there votes to a bunch of gansters.

u get the government u deserve, u vote for them, so don't co,plain

Franky get in tru the back door, nobody aint vote for franky, franky just the making himself more rich and cutting all kind of deals and f**king up the whole island

This is a joke, right? We know in the end who the real owner will turn out to be.
