Is this all that some Vincentians are good for? Two weeks road cleaning jobs? Please God help us and deliver us from our new Masters?
How many pennies , does that put in their pockets? What happen to the there 50 weeks?
Election slavery, two weeks work, what an absolute disgrace.
The culmination of 20 yrs of a government government dedicated to employing ,empowering and lifting it’s citizens out of poverty. Wow! I say a knighthood should be bestowed upon our great Cumrod.
