Dear Editor,
A few questions for the Linden Chamber of Commerce: (1) Has the government’s tax regime of 16% VAT imposed on top of a 33% rate of income tax, the reduction in government spending and the practice of large injections of money in the town being monopolized by persons not resident here, not been factors in the severe reduction in Lindeners’ incomes and the town’s economic strangulation?

Dear Editor,
Chatting with several of my friends and colleagues and bona fide tax and ratepayers after reading the best local government news for a long time in the local press, namely, that the incumbent Minister of Local Government is reported to have resigned his job as the minister responsible for the administration of this country’s Neighbourhood Democratic Councils, it was repeatedly said that this was a good thing.
Dear Editor,
Kindly allow me to make a last statement about the gift bridge handed over to the Betervervagting-Triumph Neighbourhood Democratic Council by the Ali family, that I still consider an unnecessary burden for the NDC.
Dear Editor,
Editor, allow me the opportunity to again assure the citizens of Linden/Region 10 and, indeed, everyone else in Guyana, that the PPP/C administration has been working for the economic and social upliftment of Linden/Region 10 in no way less than, and in no way different from, the way that we work for other towns and regions.
As the necessary and important reflections on the Great War are published throughout this year, historians have tried to grapple with the lessons of what American historian Fritz Stern memorably called “the first calamity of the twentieth century, the calamity from which all other calamities sprang.”
Dear Editor,
