The next major public-private partnership (PPP) should be Potter's Cay Dock. Potter's Cay is
where the mail boats dock. It is desperately needs to be cleaned,modenize and improved
There are also fruit,fish and vegetable vendors there. There are also restaurants there. Mike Maura hinted about that in interviews with Candia Dames of the Guardian newspaper.

Bahamians by in large who live on New Providence have no idea what a modern functioning city is. Nassau is not it.They experience and see it when they go aboard to the United States, Canada and Europe

I must admit their messaging could be better.They have to improve on their communications.and public relations. Good communications has never be a strong suit of any government since independence.Especially with public policy decisions.

What Gowon Bowe say is true. Discussions on tax reform should have been done over twenty years ago.Hubert Ingraham to his credit saw it and attempted to make changes. He had intended to implemented the vat if the FNM was re-elected in 2012. The international community will start to pressure this country to change it's tax system.

Michael Pintard is not a native Grand Bahamian. He move to Grand Bahama to live and work.His mother is from Cat Island and his father came from Ragged island.

This corporate tax is being pushed by the Biden administration. This goes beyond the two major political parties of this country.Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen spoke about 15% percent global corporate tax at a meeting.That is the americans attempt to reduce american corporations from moving aboard to reduce their us tax bill.

The media in the Bahamas is behind their counterparts in the larger english speaking caribbean islands. They primarily are stenographers. They are merely print press releases and politicians speeches. The politicians themselves are reading speeches written for them. They many times do not understand what they are reading.

This is a common sensical idea what former minister Symonette said.The Bahamas needs to eventually recognize common -law relationships. The Bahamas is far behind in its' social legislation The Bahamas is even behind other caribbean islands in this regard.

Even the children of the oligarchs in this country are unhappy in this country. Quite a number of them are now living aboard.

There is widespread tax evasion in this country. This is an attempt to collect some of outstanding taxes. This should have been done long ago. Then this country would not have all those deficits and would not have to borrow so heavily at home and aboard.

I am disappointed in Dr.Sands.This is not a political issue. This is an attempt to collect outstanding taxes. This is a man who harbours hopes of eventually becoming prime minister. In a more developed progressive society, his comments would be met with disbelief and laughter. I like him as a person and politician but is wrong in this matter.
