“I am concerned about the need to impose new taxes.” That was the clear message from Opposition Spokesperson on Finance, Julian Robinson, as he spoke with the Jamaica Observer outside Gordon House ahead of the Official Opening of Parliament. With news of an impending tax package already stirring debate across the country, Robinson pointed to the timing — noting that as Jamaica continues to recover from the impacts of Hurricane Melissa, additional taxation could place further strain on households and businesses still finding their footing. His comments add to the growing national conversation as citizens await details of the proposed measures. #OpeningOfParliament #JulianRobinson #TaxDebate #JamaicanPolitics #JamaicaObserver
