The Linden Mayor & City Council (M&CC) is in dire straits with over $270 million in debts, making it unable to pay NIS contributions, wages, utility bills and to perform services for the mining town.
Linden’s Deputy Mayor Wainwright Bethune, in an interview with Stabroek News on Monday, blamed the Council’s financial woes on old rates and taxes formula and the Municipality’s inability to raise same without government’s help.
