Like political governments of other countries are in the process of making changes to stable economic swaying and survive contrary competitive manuenuvors that threatened instability among their community diverse lifestyle, same must our political leaders follow suit as in process.
I do welcome this, but I also do hope that our political leaders that some some past decisions that then seem to have favored their interest have backfired, and are also hurting them too in more ways than two. In other words, "what goes around comes around."
In addition, I do hope that some political meetings will be held in all nine districts, and the people of the B.V. I will be able partner with our political leaders in the discussion of our Spiritual, social, economical, educational and physical well-being facing the uncertain future together. It is possible, by the strength of God's grace, only.
