Houston Estates is disputing City Hall’s claim that it owes over $100 million in taxes even as Georgetown Mayor Ubraj Narine yesterday remained adamant that the company wants to evade paying its due.
“Houston Estates have paid their due according to what was stated. They [City Hall] have acknowledged and we have always paid. For them to turn around and multiply by 10 is something,” attorney for Houston Estates Timothy Jonas told Stabroek News yesterday
“The M&CC [Mayor and City Council] has been dealing with Houston Estates all along. They have seen them selling and they have been paying. Nothing is secretive…,” he added while questioning City Hall’s move to the courts.
