The ongoing discussions about the informal investment schemes have lacked a very important element. The government has issued vague threats to persons who have chosen to invest their money with these companies, hinting at tax evasion.

What the Government has not done is to inform the general public as to how they can ensure that they are tax compliant. What should investors wishing to pay taxes do? Given the complexity of the Jamaican tax system, a little public education of that sort would go a far way.

Further, is the public really supposed to believe that the Jamaican Registrar of Companies is in the business of registering illegal entities?

I know that Digicel makes a lot of money and yes, I know they contribute generously to many charities and yes, I do know that advertising is very important, yet I can't help but feel that last Friday's advertising campaign went overboard.

When I think about the millions of dollars spent to produce these advertising pockets for the newspapers, I believe it's akin to sitting down to eat a gourmet meal in a poor man's yard. Maybe the insert, which was very well produced, may have been enough. Just a thought. Just my opinion.

I am proud to see the development of Falmouth but two things need to be addressed.

We need a parking lot even if we have to pay for parking and, most important, the crime level must drop.
