Viewers say that government should help the sugar industry
A large majority of those who polled on our question about the sugar industry, thought government should step in to keep the industry viable in the long run. The poll was seventy-eight to twenty-two percent. One viewer commented that “GOB should provide long term relief because we can’t afford more unemployment.” There were also interesting comments on our IMS against government’s involvement. Another person’s take was that “the sugar industry should provide their own long term solution for their survival. What good are they to the country and themselves if they cannot bear their own weight?”
