OT, U say "interesting post." It was, to me, not.
I was aware of the JIS piece, quote, Minister of Local Government and Community Development, Hon. Desmond McKenzie says he will be making a submission to Cabinet to increase the penalties for the improper disposal of garbage.
Improper? I know no knowledge of this.
When I think of 'clean up' I think of average hanger-around using a bush or the curb as a trash recepticle.
I see no enforcement of these litter bugs yet IMO that is why they have to pay kids in crews picking up the stuff.
Maybe a day off the streets or a J$500 fine would make them change their ways. But, like the once in a while removal of illegal posters, the enforcement is no good unless it is constant.
Politicans will boast of (wanting) increased fines. I remember when a traveler at the NJ airport went out the wrong door. (I think they didn't find him.) Latenburg wanted the fine increased to 10,000 USD. News-making. But be realistic; who is going to say "it's only $2,000., I think I'll open that door.
Increased fines are a crock if not enforced in the first place.
I believe that the government is a one way street. Okay, I don't know how to contact them, but when I have, or tried, it is like I haven't.
The people on the street and who live up the lane think nothing of just dropping things. They propably pay no taxes anyway, or like here at home, don't equate litter with cleanup expense, and feel they aren't contributing anything worse or more noticable to what everyone else does.
So, did "bobby" post it to generate traffic or someone else mentioned the article? And I ask, "to what end?"
