Dear Editor,
The Mayor of Georgetown, Hamilton Green, continues his relentless attacks on Town Clerk Carol Sooba as he damns her efforts to improve accountability and transparency at City Hall.
To most people, Sooba has been doing a commendable job. It is unfortunate, though, that while Green continues his attacks on the Town Clerk, the PNC, APNU and AFC have not condemned to date his uncivilized and unprofessional behaviour.
Sooba has become a hindrance to those who use City Hall to further their corrupt agendas. She has ably curtailed and contained many from misusing its resources.
The Mayor goes on another wave of attacks against the Town Clerk for doing her job of taking tax defaulters, including his wife, to Court.
In an ideal situation morality would have guided the Mayor, as Chief Citizen, to lead by example and have his wife pay up her taxes. Instead he is the typical Hamilton Green still in search of moral and spiritual revival.
The previous Town Clerk Beulah Williams also endured Green’s character assassination when she was attempting to go after taxes owed by Congress Place, the PNC headquarters. It might be an opportune moment to update us whether that sum amounting to millions of dollars has been cleared by the defaulter.
Green’s upset over efforts by the Town Clerk to go after taxes owed to the City coincides with his agenda to have the City deteriorate under the PPPC Government which gives him an opportunity to masquerade his ‘silly politics’ of blaming the Government for huge garbage piles up, clogged drains and unkept parapets in Georgetown.
