This year's budget is a disaster.There were several missteps by this government.The dismantling of the Revenue Enhancement Unit they met in place was one.That was done out of good old Bahamian pettiness and spite.Many of their revenue plans,there was push back to .The second home owners raised a fuss about increased taxes and they backed down.The web shop owners challenged their increased taxes and they relented.I was surprised about that.The new car dealers had their gripes about this budget.I spoke to somebody last year who was planning to start a business. He told me, he is unsure about it, there is too much uncertainty about this government's policies.

The Bahamas needs good investigative business journalists.Some one commented some time ago that the Bahamian Brewery was going to give Commonwealth Brewery some stiff competition. Also Inbev,a Belgian company and global rival to Heineken took control of Anheuser-Busch.They were not going to allow their rival Heineken through 700 Wines and Spirits to distribute their product in the Bahamas.They are going to push their products aggressively in this market.

The majority of the persons at the ministry were appointed by this FNM government.The FNM transferred several deputy directors out of that ministry since assuming office.Why don't you tell everybody who Dr.Minnis promise the position of director of education to?

There will be no attempt to arrest or prosecute the owners of these clubs.I have heard about similar situations like this in the past.

Very sad situation.My condolences to the family. This story also mentions something that shall
be talked about more.. That is finding a way to get Bahamians living aboard to be more engaged in the development of this country. There are many persons like the deceased living aboard.Highly educated and accomplished in their fields.
