Private sector has to give City Hall room to run its business

Georgetown Mayor Patricia Chase-Green says the Private Sector Commission (PSC) needs to allow City Hall the latitude to run its business accordingly.

“It is unfair for the private sector to tell me how to run the city. I don’t tell them how they manage their business,” the Mayor told Stabroek News.

She was at the time giving an update on the $25,000 Container Tax that the city is charging business owners.

Town Clerk Royston King has told this newspaper that businesses unloading containers in the city are already being charged $25,000, for the privilege of using the collectively owned space that is the city parapets.
