“The question you should be asking the mayor is why is he afraid of Horace Grant?  What will this new town administrator find when he gets into office and what the mayor has been doing over the last years that he has been as mayor?  So really, the issue or the question at hand is not about a dispute between the five town councilors and the mayor, it’s about the mayor operating within the confines of the Town Council Act and he has not been doing that.  So it’s very important that as chairman of the party, I am here to support our five PUP town councilors from Santa Elena/San Ignacio and as a Belizean citizen, I am concerned about what’s happening in that constituency, in that town because it’s clear, he has a family program going on.  How many people does he have hired that are relative of his, you know, in various departments?  Those are the questions that need to be asked of Mayor Earl Trapp.”
