The government of Jamaica said it is planning to delay the purchasing of motor vehicles for judges for this fiscal year.

As a result of this move, the $27 million earmarked for the venture would have been saved.

According to the government, the project delay is due to slower-than-procurement of the automobiles.

JUTC buses for repair

Cabinet recently approved $45 million for the repair of 120 Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) buses, which will allow the company to seat more passengers, thereby stemming its monthly loss of $58.5 million.

The JUTC operates 300 buses daily, and faces a shortfall of 75 units, making the company unable to meet the commuter seating demand.

Auto bail out opposed

MESA, Arizona (AP) — All of the GOP presidential candidates say they oppose President Barack Obama’s decision to bail out failing automakers.

With the Michigan primary just days away Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul all say they’d have refused giving government money to General Motors and Chrysler.

Gingrich says it wouldn’t have been a tough decision — he says that other operations in the auto industry outside of Detroit were doing fine. Romney says that his own approach to the auto industry calling for a structured bankruptcy would have been better. He says that some of the money used in the bailout was wasted.

Paul says he opposes all bailouts and says just because a bailout was successful doesn’t mean it should have been done.
