Still awaiting retaining wall

I am the constituent you gave the name “Mr Unfinished Business.” I am all for property tax.

But can I pay property tax if my house falls into the river? You know I was placed on the emergency list to get a retaining wall, since the year the wall fell at Morne Coco killing that unfortunate woman. Pictures were lodged at your office. Governments have changed and exchanged but still no wall.

Remember you toured my area? Also the councillor promised I would get my wall. Do not tell me to visit your office because he visited you on two occasions, which I think are enough to refresh your memory.

Do not tell me the country has no money. You and I know you can source the material and the villagers can do the project. And yes, I am a law-abiding, tax-paying citizen.

So tell me “godfather” — well, you are christening people — should I pay property tax while my house falls into the river, or get my wall, pay the tax and say “great is the PNM and it shall prevail?” I can be contacted 364-2888 or 622-9605.
