My fellow Jamaicans and Friends of Jamaica, We begin each year with the joys, burden, sorrow, or triumph of the past year still etched in our minds. That past and the way it influences us will determine how we live in the ensuing year.

Jamaica traffic ticket travesty on the run
Webmasters Make $$$ DEAR EDITOR, OVER THE past few days, tax offices have been teeming with thousands of motorists rushing to pay outstanding tickets before the amnesty expired.
