Bruce bows - As PNP ramps up protest threats over taxes, PM wilts under heat

Jamaica Gleaner "Reacting to torrents of criticism nationwide and threats of street demonstrations by the Opposition, Prime Minister Bruce Golding yesterday succumbed to pressure over a $21-billion tax package slated to take effect on January 1, 2010.

In a statement from Jamaica House yesterday, Golding said he would reconsider the package which, as it stands, brings the total amount of new taxes announced in three tranches to $47.6 billion this fiscal year."
