How to save jobs

THE EDITOR: Saving the jobs and welfare of the people of Caroni and WASA and their families is to be seriously considered. I feel that no one would reject if for a given period, we are asked to pay five hundred percent for more than we are doing now for sugar and water.

A side effect is that people who suffer from diabetes would be inclined to use less sugar than they now do and people with metered water would surely be more conservative. The importing of sugar should be either stopped or heavily taxed, this is to ensure that our sugar is all sold and absorbed locally.
