An economy where direct tax is zero, but indirect taxes (of one sort or another) have gone up: result being that those at the bottom stay trapped in poverty. Could Jersey's fixation with a 20% tax rate lead to similar trends?

Picked up by Carswell, the area the former Bailiff was remarkably taciturn about: “Under Standing Orders the arrangements are that when a Member wishes to lodge a proposition he or she needs to have the consent of the Bailiff before it is an option.” Otherwise known as a pre-proposition veto, it has been misused in the past.

2162

A photographic examination of the way in which poor signage and cues (lack of clear pavement) make this part of Tunnell Street, the site of a tragic accident, dangerous and in need of remediation.

http://tonymusings.blogspot.com/2016/10/fiscal-fantasyland.html
1889

A look at the Logfiller saga, and the lack of decent due diligence and guarantees on the part of the States Innovation Fund, which led to the money vanishing, and the product transferred (royalty free) to an American company with similar ownership.
