Louis,
I guess by ‘admission’ the silence of Ron Green and Edison James with regards to ‘qualifying’ all the ‘assertions’ of corruption(remember that allegations are no more than assertions unless proven otherwise in a ‘court of law’ “not” ‘a court of public opinion’), should be construed by any Dominican who possess ‘the independence of thought’ as being unsubstantiated, correct?
