Aragon Bickering With Bernard
posted (March 1, 2017)

The PUP Mayor of Orange Walk Town and the UDP area representative for Orange Walk East are at it again.  The last we reported on their feuding, it was over incomplete work on roads in the Louisiana area.  Well, Aragon sent a letter to Bernard  on Monday boasting that he’d finished upgrading those roads to what is called “paving standardâ€￾, and he urged Mayor Bernard to pave them before the rains come in June.  

As you might imagine, that didn't go down too well with the Mayor.  Last night, he posted a salty response to area rep on Facebook.   Right at the opening, in the second sentence, Bernard snaps, “I know comprehension is not your strong suitâ€￾. Form there he promises to keep it short, saying that unlike the area rep, he doesn't have time for, quote, stupidity and petty quarrels.â€￾   Bernard says he is quote, “quite willing and able to complete what you have barely started.â€￾  He chides the UDP Rep, quote, “Please…step aside and let those who are prepared to work, get to work.â€￾

For his part, Aragon says that the roads are of a standard that they are prepared for chip and seal as is.

And while the politicians bicker and beat their chest over who did and will do what, the good news for residents of the area is that they will get their streets paved, which is a major upgrade.
