Dear Editor,

Prime Minister Andrew Holness promised us tax breaks from General Consumption Tax (GCT) on electricity bills, other, and etcetera.

He has good spin doctors. They know that a lot of Jamaicans are angry with Jamaica Pubic Service (JPS), thus they’ll fall for it hook, line and sinker to this politricking. They know that the average Jamaica is licky-licky. Does that mean that they are also foolish?

As easy as Holness makes it sound, JPS is not majority-owned by Jamaicans.

Prime Minister, fix the roads and you’ll get many votes come election time. Many of our roads are in a disgraceful state.

I tote around with a tape measure in my car and at some of these junctions I measure the holes to see if my car can climb back out. Believe or not, as bad as most of the taxi drivers operate, I feel bad for them. Driving on these roads however many days a week must take a toll on their cars and themselves.

I shake my head so often at these roads that if it hadn’t been ‘nailed on’ good it would fall off. Still, based on how I worry at times, it may do so one day if the roads are not fixed.
