We also got the mayor to comment on City Councillor Eric Chang.  He returned to the country yesterday after an extended absence.  The mayor says that after those three weeks away, he has to make sure that Chang is on the same page as a fast-moving council:

Darrell Bradley - Mayor, Belize City Council
"My responsibility as Mayor is to ensure that every single person in the City Council is performing 100%, persons with portfolios, persons without portfolios. I need to hear from him that he's serious about delivering on his commitments that he was elected to do."

Jules Vasquez
"Will he be reinstated as a councillor with portfolio? Do-"

Darrell Bradley
"No, we have no plans on doing that. We are very heavily involved in some of our infrastructure projects. I am quite satisfied with the performance of Councillor Dean Samuels. He's moving forward with Southside Street Rehabilitations Project. He wants to anxiously do those. We want to get those moving as soon as possible, so we're continuing. We're satisfied with the current fit, and I think that there is still this gaping question here in relation to his absence, and in relation to his name called the immigration fiasco, which he has to answer for."
