More increase in landing fees ? More increase in departure tax ? An increase on petroleum up to this point which have been subsidized by the present government. What would dear old Allen resort to ? Considering he has been playing doge ball when it come to taxes in St Lucia for decades and have not been paying his fare share along with the other cliques he owes the county a huge check. You don’t to want farm but buy American pay for it. You want to smooth roads and new infrastructure pay for it. you still want to maintain your bragging rights of the lowest electricity rates then pay for it. It may be oppressive, but no matter who is in office they wont get rid of it because there is no more green gold.
