After all which has happened with section 34 & Volney... Then Local Gov't elections they got destroyed again...
Really? I call that as a PNM seat.
x2
And here I thought calling Talparo/La Horquetta for the UNC would have been the controversial choice.
Section 34 and Volney is old news. Besides here was the actual results from the bye election in 2013.
Terrence Deyalsingh (PNM) 6,357 votes
Ian Alleyne (UNC/PP) 5,577 votes
Om Lalla (ILP) 1,976 votes
Errol Fabien (Ind) 300 votes.
Hardly destroyed and this time the ILP not running in St Joseph.
Here some older results too.
2010 general election
Herbert Volney (PP)-10,835
Kennedy Swarathsingh (PNM)-7,778
2007 general election
Kennedy Swarathsingh (PNM)-7,969
Dr Carson Charles (UNC)-4,932
Gillian Lucky (COP)-4,344

Howai: Industrial land-tax by 2014
By SEAN DOUGLAS Tuesday, September 17 2013
FINANCE Minister Larry Howai, issued a statement on Monday to clarify his stance on the reintroduction of a Land and Building Tax regime. He quoted his Budget speech to say such a tax is a key pillar in all modern tax systems, and it meets all conditions of a good and fair tax.
“The backbone of a successful land and building tax is the proper valuation of properties within a transparent framework. This will require the property rolls being brought up-to- date,” quoted Howai. “I propose to phase-in these taxes over the period 2014 to 2017 during which time the properties will be valued and consultations will be held with all stakeholders.”
Howai said, “There is no intention by this Administration to suggest that this is not a tax on property. It is to make it very clear that it is not the tax regime proposed by the previous Administration.”
As to the timing of the new tax regime, Howai again cited his Budget Speech.
“In Phase 1 and effective immediately, we shall commence valuations of all industrial land, including plant and machinery, whether housed or unhoused with a view to implement this tax by July 1, 2014.
“In Phase 2, we will impose a tax on commercial properties and in Phase 3, we will impose a tax on agricultural lands and on residential properties with a deductible allowance to provide relief to certain agricultural land owners and low-income homeowners.”
Some ambiguously, Howai underlined all his comments by saying they referred only to tax on industrial properties (land, buildings, plant and machinery), but not commercial, agricultural and residential land and buildings.
Saying a waiver is already in effect for 2010 to 2013, he said no tax would be applied retroactively.

Rowley wrong on property tax claim
Saturday, August 22, 2015

Larry Howai
Finance Minister Larry Howai has said that Opposition People’s National Movement (PNM) Leader, Dr Keith Rowley is completely wrong in his claim the People’s Partnership was implementing a property tax regime originally developed by the previous Government.
Howai was responding to claims Rowley made at Thursday’s PNM manifesto launch.
But Howai in a statement issued yesterday stated: “It must be said clearly—the people of T&T can completely dismiss this claim as utterly false. No property tax has been implemented or is being planned for next year by the Kamla Persad-Bissessar administration.”
“I can state categorically that Cabinet has not considered this matter nor has the matter been brought to Cabinet for consideration at any time in the last two years. Any such claim is completely without basis and must be considered a total fabrication intended to create fear and anxiety.”
The Minister stated: “In January of this year, when the Prime Minister and Government moved to make spending adjustments in light of falling energy prices globally, a commitment was made and we intend to keep that commitment, that the most vulnerable will not bear the burden of adjustments.”
“Following the address to the nation on 8th January, we then met with energy sector stakeholders as well as larger commercial interests in consultations on how we can reform our tax regime. During those discussions, preliminary consultations were held on a possible Industrial Land Tax for the very large companies, primarily in the energy sector.”
Howai added, “I would emphasise that I have consulted with the business community on the sequencing of an Industrial Land Tax, and subsequently land and building taxes on residential and commercial properties. The feedback which I have received are (i) That we should consider carefully the tax burden on individuals and businesses and the effect that it can have on new investment, and (ii) That the process of implementation will be long and drawn out and will not provide immediate cash flow benefit to the Treasury. As a consequence the matter has not gone forward.”
The Minister said that consultations has always and will always form the basis of any major reforms that take place, adding that “consultation has been the hallmark of the Government.”
Further dismissing claims by Rowley, Howai said: “While I understand that in a political campaign, some people get carried away and the lines between truth and fiction become blurred, making what appears to be deliberately distorted statements that create panic among citizens and our business community is irresponsible and will ultimately hurt people.”

Tv6 showed the other day that whoever wins the La Horquetta polling divisions wins the entire seat regardless.
The area is divided with support so I would lean it more to Jairam. He has his minions, he made sure he supplied those in the phases with their cepep and urp jobs, smart cards and some even got HDC houses in Greenvale Park in La Horquetta with their cepep salaries and some unemployed. In general, nothing was done for the La Horquetta section of the constituency and the only way he will lose it is if the PNM machinery brings out the old guard and die hards and they get all the youths to vote.
Personally I was willing to give him a chance but after events in the past few months, the other side has my vote. Roads have not been repaved in years and is dodge hole we have to play day and night on the main artery out the area. Water supply has declined over the past few weeks, no homework centre for the youths. One of the primary schools is in a state of disrepair. No play park like in other UNC constituencies. He claims to have helped youths gain employment, but there are several unemployed and underemployed educated youth in the area.
