    all that talk about crossing crossing sound sweet to the ear ,but mr hector john remember we vote u as a worker and your job is to go out there and represent,it don’t matter if u are on the winning side or the losing side.
    every country or political system needs opposition,in the absent of opposition the ruling party thence to become more and more like castro.
    the day u cross your political career ends.
    also take note of the comments from the labourites toward the salisbury people,this tells me it is very bad to be a labourite
    let them call us whatever,we a the best and salisbury will always be on top
    congrat hector.good job tolo

    CONGRATS TO HECTOR JOHN!!!

    The Salisbury Constituency had two very good candidates. Hector obtained this seat because he has been more involved in the community and that is quite clear. Some of the persons commenting said some very negative things about me and my people, they should respect our decisions like we’ve respected theirs.

    Salisbury had two great choices between two very capable and respectable men. It all depended on what you thought of the ability of the parties which they represent. You have made your choice! And either way it went, I know for SALISBURY, either of the men chosen would have been a good choice.

    Congrats to him who was victorious at the polls… whether your party is in or out, we expect good work for the PEOPLE from you. And too from your fellow contestors. Waiting around until your party succeeds has been the wrong attitude. But it it great that the Salisbury people can stand on their own 2 feet.

    Well Saulisbry people will have to sell kennip eh. They didn’t learn from their mistakes with Earl WIlliams. Some people are too set in their ways. Hope that one doesn’t tell the Government he doesnt want anything from them eh like the Earl. All when Earl refusing help he stealing money. Never knew Saulisbry people were so ignorant. Skerrit is a just man he will still do for them. One day they will learn. Godbless us all

    Congratulations Spags!!!!!! Good job my Salisbury people. We are a hard working people. We do not depend on hand outs. We learn by the sweat of our brow we shall eat. We want to Government to provide jobs for us so we can earn a living, not give us a bread today so we can come back and ask for more tomorrow. Even though the government won’t fix our roads we will still move on. I know what it is to work, and work hard. We are a productive people. Salisbury people are a people who look at the issues that affect us and vote on it.
    If all Dominicans take a page from the people of Salisbury, we will move forward without corruptions, and depending on people to give us handout.

    Once again good job to the people of Salisbury
