And keeping it on UDP internal disputes, what will Port Loyola Area Representative Anthony Boots Martinez do now that Dean Samuels is running in the Port Loyola convention?
Martinez - who was grooming Samuels for a few years - had originally endorsed the former city councilor, and then dropped him when Mike Peyrefitte expressed an interest. Two weeks ago, Martinez told us he believed that Samuels would not be running after all. But last week, Samuel turned that prediction on its head when he said that he will run - in what will now be a four man convention..
Martinez responded today:…
Hon. Anthony Martinez - Port Loyola Representative
"I said I believe that Mr. Samuels might not run, that was my honest belief because it was said to me."

"Now that he says he is and initially had declared you support him, what will happen now?"
Hon. Anthony Martinez
"Listen to me, this da no give your word, then take back now, that's another case. I am still with Michael Peyrefitte, this da no give your word and take back now, no man, not at all. You could say that I am a man, I don't take back my word. He said to me he was not running and I took his word for it and so when I jump out of the box now you will see you reverse, well I believe that is his right, I think he is a good guy and so but my support stays for Michael Peyrefitte."
