Dear Editor,
I AM retired, but work occasionally as a part-time taxi driver. Last Saturday, I was called for a “special run,” whereby I was required to take a gentleman to Linden from Georgetown. He was a charming fellow visiting from the US, and we had a pleasant drive to Linden.
After dropping him off, it was still early and I decided to take a stroll around the town. I have not visited Linden in eight years, and marvelled at the rapid improvements. But, I was even more surprised at the citizens of Linden and their political disclosures.
When I last visited, Linden was an eyesore and a PNC town. Not anymore. The youngster who served me a “crush ice” had on a red PPP shirt. I went to buy a fried chicken take out, and the nice cashier lady told me that she is a PPP supporter. Without my asking him, the old gentleman in the line behind me said he was a PPP supporter too.
How did this happen, I enquired of the old gentleman as we waited our turns. He said, you know brother, it all has to do with care and respect. The PPP has invested a lot of money, attention and time in Linden.
Many citizens have received jobs and government contracts, and even more have received house lots. Many new roads have been built, with the promise of the biggest bridge Linden has ever seen on the way.
Folks there are no longer proud to say they are members of the PNC, they are more excited to talk about the PPP.
Respectfully,
Herbert Allen
