CARIBBEAN360MARCH 17, 2016
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Thursday March 17, 2016 Six years after Haiti was devastated by the massive 2010 earthquake, many people in the impoverished Caribbean country continue to hold Hillary Clintons State Department and the Clinton Foundation responsible for a recovery effort that cost billions for what is widely perceived to be little return.
The New York Times reports that the Clintons have been a target of protesters in Port-au-Prince, who claim earthquake aid money was mismanaged and lucrative deals went to Clinton cronies.
The litany of complaints included the circumstances surrounding the Caracol industrial park, a project which was backed by both the Clinton Foundation and the State Department. Hundreds of farmers were evicted from their land during the parks construction, and the project delivered less than half the number of promised jobs.
Also singled out by critics was Mrs Clintons brother Tony Rodham, who turned up in business ventures on the island, sparking speculation about insider deals.
"She is looked upon as a liberal and someone who respects human rights, workers rights and so forth, Ms Dantò said. But we havent had that experience with her in Haiti.
A vote for Hillary Clinton means further corruption, further death and destruction for our people, said Dahoud Andre, a radio show host in New York who has helped organize protests against the Clintons. It means more Haitians leaving Haiti and not being able to live in our country.

WikiLeaks Haiti: Let Them Live on $3 a Day
Contractors for Fruit of the Loom, Hanes and Levis worked in close concert with the US Embassy when they aggressively moved to block a minimum wage increase for Haitian assembly zone workers, the lowest-paid in the hemisphere, according to secret State Department cables.
The factory owners told the Haitian Parliament that they were willing to give workers a 9-cents-per-hour pay increase to 31 cents per hour to make T-shirts, bras and underwear for US clothing giants like Dockers and Nautica.
But the factory owners refused to pay 62 cents per hour, or $5 per day, as a measure unanimously passed by the Haitian Parliament in June 2009 would have mandated. And they had the vigorous backing of the US Agency for International Development and the US Embassy when they took that stand....

When Mr. Clinton worked as a co-chairman of Haitis earthquake recovery commission, Mr. Rodham and his partners sought a $22 million deal to rebuild homes in the country. In court proceedings three years ago in an unrelated lawsuit, Mr. Rodham explained how a guy in Haiti had donated 10,000 acres of land to him and described how he had leaned on Mr. Clinton to get the rebuilding project funded amid bureaucratic delays.
I deal through the Clinton Foundation. That gets me in touch with the Haitian officials, Mr. Rodham said, according to a transcript of his testimony. I hound my brother-in-law, because its his fund that were going to get our money from. And he cant do it until the Haitian government does it.
And he keeps telling me, Oh, its going to happen tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow. Well, tomorrow hasnt come yet.
Nothing beyond the pale in and of itself, but it is context for the bigger picture.
There's an argument for nominating someone with great networking skills, who can deal with financiers, and who can raise lots of cash for our party.
And then there's the argument for cleaving our party from all that entails with that.
Voters have a need to be informed, and to vote.
