 HAG Determine to Raising Revenue at all cost
By: Ian George
The single mother and her six children, who were uprooted from their dwelling at Hope in St. Andrew, by the Housing Authority of Grenada (HAG), are victims of an organization that is broke and desperate to raise revenue at any and all cost, to meet its mountain of debts.
This is the shocking and vulgar response garnered from Stanford Simon, chairman of the HAG, as he attempted to defend the Authority’s callous display of cowardice over a defenseless mother who herself is in dire need of all the help she can get.
Simon told the Barnacle in an interview, which quizzed him on what many considered to be the heartlessness of the HAG that the Authority was in a financial mess. As leader, he said, it is his responsibility to make things happen for the Authority.
He said that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has given him the responsibility to manage the assets of the Authority, and he has all plans of ensuring that he does not fail in the execution of his goals, mission and functions. |

On March 13th 1979, he left his young wife – eight months pregnant – in order to go into True Blue to make the Revolution. Four years later, he was a member of a heinous group that cold bloodedly murdered the Leader of the Revolution and scores of other Grenadians in a battle for control of this island.
An invasion by troops of the United States Armed Forces on October 25th, 1983, brought an end to the reign of the short-lived monster group that called itself the Revolutionary Military Council (RMC). Leon “Bogo’’ Cornwall was arrested with sixteen others, tried, convicted and sentenced to death by hanging. However, that sentence – much to the dismay of the Grenadian people – was later commuted to life in prison. |
