MC Endeavors Director U.S. Ambassador Lewis Lucke Views Saturday's Inauguration of President Martelly as a Meaningful Turning Point for Haiti
8:37a ET May 17, 2011 (Business Wire)
MC Endeavors, Inc. (PinkSheets: MSMY) "This is a new Haiti that is open for business now" declared newly sworn-in President Michel Martelly. "We are going to change Haiti" he promised during his inauguration speech on Saturday. Punctuated by applause and cheers, Martelly made it clear that a top priority will be to restore confidence in government and then he served notice to the country's police and judicial authorities: "No more injustice."
MC Endeavors' Director U.S. Ambassador Lewis Lucke viewed the inauguration of President Martelly as "An optimistic time for all Haitians and its many international partners and a meaningful turning point in Haiti's history." Lucke went on to state that, "So many Haitians fervently hope that President Martelly will be the leader voted into power by the people who can fulfill the needed leadership role that will encourage foreign governments to accelerate the release of reconstruction assistance that has been sidelined during the long election process."
An important invited guest at the inauguration was U.S. President Bill Clinton, the U.N. envoy who co-chairs the IHRC (the Interim Haiti Reconstruction Commission) which was set up after the earthquake to monitor the purse strings of some $10 billion in pledged aid.
MC Endeavors CEO Tim Algier emphasized that, "We welcome the opportunity to really make a difference in addressing the homeless situation by being part of the reconstruction team of firms that will be building new affordable, permanent housing for almost 700,000 Haitians who have been living in tent cities for over 16 months now. The American Red Cross, other international organizations and other donors will be proposing permanent housing and other reconstruction programs that total many millions of dollars over the next few months.

A couple months from 5/17 means 7/17 and on.... which could be anytime if Martelli can just convince the parliament on a prime minister. Won't be easy though, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they will eventually let someone through.
The proposals are surely being talked about already.
At least in my mind.
