The Tobago House of Assembly (THA) budget day is carded for June 25th 2012. The budget allocation for fiscal year 2013 would be advanced by the current Secretary of Finance and Enterprise Development in the THA Dr. Anselm London. Last year the Tobago House of Assembly presented a 3.9 billion budget on June 21, and received $2.199 billion from the national budget. In the wake of the Prime Minister's announcement of making Tobago exclusively a tourism Duty Free zone, how would the Secretary, doctor, economist London navigate around this crucial development, as he has already taken the position that it is nothing but absurd, vacuous, and cannot see the light of day. In addition, how would he treat with the $100 million, appropriated by the parliament, which have not be given to the Assembly to date? I await with baited breath to see what would be presented in this budget debate.
