The Bahamas is not an attractive country to return to after you finish your tertiary education in the U.S. Those words were spoken by a bahamian at meeting at St.Thomas University in South Florida. Those words were spoken to Perry Christie, Fred Mitchell and other PLPs.

I know of many situations where persons chose not to return to the Bahamas or want to leave the Bahamas. I know of an american lady with two master degrees. She married a Bahamian and moved to the Bahamas with him. She was never able to work in the Bahamas. She fell into a deep state of depression. A next person told me this a few years ago, both of her sons are living and working aboard. Her younger son went off to university in Canada and has never return to the Bahamas. Education is seen as a vehicle for migration from the Bahamas.Those are the paraphrased words of a University of the Bahamas official.

The Bahamas is both a paradise and plantation at the same time for different persons. Many educated, younger person do not want to live here.Even the children of the elite are choosing to live aboard in first world countries.

Bahamians are not immature and honest enough to discuss their history. A lot of young bahamians do not know who Carlos Ledher Rivas is.

That company was started with a grant from The Ministry Of Youth and Culture self-starter program. That was during the time of the late Charles Maynard was the minister. Somebody told me that a prominent white bahamian family was behind this company.

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.

@ This is Ours. You do not know what you are talking about. They are trying to collect long -overdue taxes. They have to tread a line between the collection and economic growth. They are simply using compliance methods put in place by the politicians.

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.
