Rowley hits property tax
DIEGO Martin West MP Dr Keith Rowley believes that people from all walks of life are angry at the Government's property tax which they blame on squandermania. Rowley was speaking on Friday in the Lower House on two bills to bring the new tax, the Property Tax Bill 2009 and the Valuation of Land (Amendment) Bill 2009.

Rowley on the attack
"I want to tell my Government tonight that the tax I pay, I marking meh money. And it is to buy medicine for the hospital, chalk for the schools and to pay old age pension..."

Don't pay!
Debate on the proposed Property Tax Bill began in Parliament this last week, with Finance Minister Karen Nunez Tesheira already on record as saying she believes a majority of people in the country support the measure.

Property tax bill continues tomorrow
The Government will have to wait until tomorrow to secure passage of the controversial Property Tax and Valuation of Lands Bills in the Parliament.

T&T, wake up; stand up
Friday's incident, in which anti-property tax protesters were arrested and beaten outside of the Red House in Port-of-Spain, is a sad day in T&T's history of democracy, and should be an overwhelming wake-up call for the public, says Basdeo Panday.

'Police brutality'

'Cops may have used too much force'
ACTING top cop James Philbert has admitted his officers may have used excessive force against protesters outside the Red House in Port of Spain.

Commercial property tax hike coming

Tenants to foot rises
Businessmen in bustling Port-of-Spain are unsure if they will face a price hike or a decrease with the new Property Tax legislation. However, they said, if there is an increase in their property tax—which comes into effect next March—it would be passed on to their tenants.

Tax too much to bear says Gopeesingh

Ramesh: It can be challenged in court
Opposition MP Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj, SC, says that the legislation for the new property tax could be challenged in court after it is passed because of its relation to the Constitution.

Backing Bas ...or Ramesh
AS a Christmas gift to my colleague of many, many moons ago, I am backing Basdeo Panday for leadership of the UNC in the upcoming party elections. I have taken this decision, not after long and hard examination of the issues at stake, or any analysis of the future of UNC, but purely because Bas is a man. And this country of warped minds where people are whimsical in their outlooks, man must back man.

No woman no cry
Siparia MP Kamla Persad-Bissessar is ready for the slings and arrows that may come her way during the historic campaign to lead the Opposition United National Congress.

Ramesh: I only got 200 forms
As the deadline for registration for the UNC's Internal elections expired, Tabaquite MP Ramesh Lawrence Maharaj expressed disbelief that supporters of Kamla Persad-Bissessar had difficulties in getting registration forms.

NACTA: Kamla has best public image
“Although they think he has lost support with his several blunders while he was Prime Minister, voters still view incumbent UNC leader Basdeo Panday as the strongest person to engage the PNM in battles on behalf of the Opposition."

Health Sector Bacchanal
The health sector is now embroiled in a furor of misconduct, misappropriation of finances, misuse of medical equipment and personal use of public resources.

Windies cling to slender hopes of Test win

Mixed reviews for 'Paramin' Parang Festival
There were no torrential rains, mud or miles of traffic at this year's Paramin Parang Festival, which for the majority of patrons was a good thing. There was, however, also no bush rum, much less wild meat, little pastelle and no Paramin as the event was on Friday held at the Trinidad Country Club, Maraval.

For good or bad – year of the police officer
THE YEAR 2009 was a year where lawmen, including police officers and prisons officers, found themselves in the spotlight - either as subjects of crackdowns on illegal practices, abuse of power, mishaps, murder/suicide or victims of crimes.
