A bigger slice for Tobago


A bigger slice for Tobago

Workers reinforce a riverbank to prevent landslides at Manswell Trace, Castara Village, Tobago. Tobagonians have called for a larger allocation of the national budget. - DAVID REID
A parliamentary committee has recommended Tobago get 6.8 per cent of the national budget.
