Dear Hon. Kelvin Simon,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I believe it’s crucial to address the facts accurately. The Pump House Bridge was constructed properly with the right materials. Unfortunately, a vehicle collided with the bridge, causing significant damage. Senator Dwayne George and his team promptly stepped in to repair it, ensuring the safety of the community. Accidents happen, and the repairs were necessary to restore the bridge for public use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ongoing back-and-forth between you and Senator Dwayne is starting to shift the focus from solving problems to assigning blame. As constituents, we expect our leaders to prioritize action and solutions, not engage in political point-scoring. We need our leaders working together to ensure our community gets the infrastructure and services it deserves.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Regarding your concerns about the construction costs, we all understand the taxes we pay, and we expect them to be used responsibly. However, it’s time to move beyond complaints and focus on tangible progress for the people.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

As the elected MP for St. Mary’s South, you are entrusted with funds every month to assist the community. It’s essential to focus on the needs of the people you represent rather than pointing fingers at Senator Dwayne George. Both you and Senator Dwayne should be working together for the people of SMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hon. Kelvin Simon, it\u2019s time to focus on working for the people. Senator Dwayne George, please continue your efforts to serve the community and focus on progress.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,
A Concerned Constituent<\/strong><\/p>\n
