Dear Editor,
How does Trinidad expect us to continue buying their products if our people are not allowed to enter their country and work. These workers send back remittances to fuel Jamaica's
buying power.
The IMF money on its own is not enough to meet our import bill. If Trinidad values our business they will allow our citizens free entry. Let us see if this proposed boycott will make a difference.
In the meantime, will the Jamaican manufacturers step up the pace. Why should we be importing things like water, peanuts and other snacks. Let us work together to close this trade imbalance.

Dear Editor,
Last Friday made it eight full days that I have been delivered brown water through the pipes at my home in Hellshire.
Eight days now, that consumers of the 'product' of the National Water Commission (NWC) have not been getting reliable and safe water through our pipes.
The NWC proports to, on the Ministry of Water and Housing website, "supply 190 gallons of potable (sic) water each day to its more than 400,000 registered accounts, representing about two
million persons across Jamaica" yet still there are thousands in sections of Portmore, who, for the past eight days, cannot say this is true.
And the situation has not improved, even after reporting the situation to the branch office in Portmore on Tuesday, December 24, 2013.
Where is the world-class water quality. NWC, what am I paying for?
