They scatter windscreens; scratch the paint of the passing vehicles and get into peoples\u2019 eyes.<\/p>\n<p>When will our people get better service from the government we elect to protect and serve us?<\/p>\n<p>The simple method of having a canvas held to prevent the debris from flying out into the streets; works.\u00a0 \u00a0If you do not know; then visit Trinidad\/Tobago, St. Kitts\/Nevis; Tortola, etc.\u00a0 What is so difficult in implementing such a method here in Antigua also?<\/p>\n<p>Get real, people!<\/p>\n<p>You do not need a university degree to figure that out.\u00a0 I have heard that the people with the degrees working in the top positions may have some paper qualifications but no common sense whatsoever.\u00a0 Over and over this is being proven to be true in Antigua &amp; Barbuda.
