When will your government help to create some jobs?!
Almost a week or so later and we are just hearing from the govt.. musta been on a trip.
Well that is nice of the taxpayer to make those services available but are there any new jobs being created?
Not. Enough. People. Living. Here.
But a vote for the OBA, was a vote back to the plantation eh Lavitta?
Clueless. Inept. Incompetent. Failure. The hallmarks of a PLP government.
