PLP Chairman Takes Leave of Absence

June 22, 2011

Progressive Labour Party Chairman Anthony Santucci has announced that he is taking a leave of absence, which is effective from June 18 2011, to deal with “personal issues.” An update on the PLP’s website says that Deputy Chairman Kim Lightbourne will assume Mr. Santucci’s duties. Mr Santucci also recently lost his job at the Grotto Bay Resort.

Update 4pm: A spokesperson for CADA said, “The information provided by VSB News on June 21 and June 22 is erroneous. Mr. Anthony Santucci has not resigned from the CADA Board. CADA’s Board firmly supports Mr. Santucci as the Chairman, a position he has held for five years.”

  3. Comes out with the Wash says:

    Everything comes out in the wash – - – you may not know now but you will know sooner than later. . . they won’t be able to cover this one up.

      Do you people just wait for BERNEWS to report a story and start typing without reading Gees. READ DOGGONIT It states ” FOR PERSONAL ISSUES”. Read or do you not know how to.
      This one is not on the PLP
      Hang in there Anthony:

      P.S.
      Get up from your computers and clean out your own closests nuff said. Gees

        @Mary Poppins

        My statement has nothing to do with the PLP – if you read it correctly. The “they” that I make mention of is not the PLP – - it is anyone who believes that what happened in this situation will not be revealed in time.

        Support is required for all persons involved – thus I hope that we, as a community, will provide that support for EVERYONE that this situation affects – plain and simple statement, don’t you think?

        Cause “just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down”, right?

        • MaryPoppins says:

          @ Comes Out In The Wash

          All depends what medicine you are prescribed:

          Cause if it is “EX-LAX” no sugar is required, right?

          • Comes out in the Wash says:

            @Mary Poppins:

            Out of respect for the individuals involved, I will not comment on the specifics of the incident. My previous statements reflect the seriousness of the situation – - it is amazing to me that they affect you as they do.

            The purpose of my comments is to indicate that the full story has not been told yet – - BUT IT WILL BE TOLD. I do not believe that this is going to go away, so my thoughts are with all the people involved in this mess (because that is exactly what it is).

            So before I go, let me wish you well with a hug and a term that only you can understand – - “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”

      • 32n64w says:

        Wrong. He was fired from Grotto Bay and subsequently stepped down as Chairman of the PLP to deal with “personal reasons”.

      • Rick Rock says:

        If you really think it was all just “for personal reasons” you really are Mary Poppins….

        Anyway, nice to know he’s still at CADA providing a great example for people who drink too much.

        • mary poppins says:

          @ Rick Rock or should I say Rock Rick:

          Oh My! are you jealous: That “EX-LAX was not prescribed for you!

          Remember only one needed:- everything will come out in the WASH:::::::::::

          Go Figure.

          P.S. Yes I am Mary Poppins and proud of it.:……………………

          • Riley B King says:

            Mary, you seem to have a fixation with “Ex-Lax” and “things coming out in the wash”. In all other respects you are almost incoherent.
            LaVerne, is that you?

  4. VoT!!! says:

    Un wearing a green sweater and smokin a cigar in my closet right now!

    • Au Contraire says:

      The plp don’t want any of ‘you people’ coming out of the closet anyway.

  5. US Observer says:

    I hope its a cuban cigar…LOL!!!

  6. observer says:

    One thing about 32n64W – he seems to always have his finger on the pulse…this dude is always commenting. Not just on bernews. But other blogs and websites. He is the consumate multitasker. You get lots of credit, you keep yourself in the know!

  7. Graeme Outerbridge says:

    Another good reason to VOTE THEM OUT^^

    • The 411 says:

      Vote who out? Vote out the PLP because of Anthony’s problems? Graeme – you continue to disappoint.

    • Dragging A Lure says:

  11. Hey Santucci,

    Often we are faced with difficult situations in our lives, we come up against things we never expect. But, you know that God never gives us no more than we can handle. Just hang in there and all we be okay in the end. Life always brings some unexpected turns and twists. But, knowing the kind of person you are you will be just fine. DO not hear any nay sayers,or the haters…, as they will always exist. Hope all works out well for you !!
