Jamaica Gleaner Commentary
published: Tuesday | October 10, 2006

EDITORIAL - Surveys show key shifts in national demographics
The latest survey of living conditions in Jamaica, in which consumption is used as proxy for income, was published last week and officials were happy to trumpet a further decline in poverty in the country.

Say no more State funding

The resignation of a Cabinet minister over the acceptance of a donation/ commercial transaction from a foreign company has raised the issue about state funding of political parties. - Devon Dick


The flap about flag colours
