Homes on Ragged Island should be rebuilt.Many of the residents don't want to stay any where eelse. The homes will have to be built to the building code. It can be a model for other islands.

As the day follows the night,the day that income tax is suggested for the Bahamas Government hto implement has arrived. I was told by several persons in the know this will happen.We collectively brought this on ourselves. Don't blame the IMF. Years of economic mismanagement by successive governments, a stagnant and outdated economic model and irresponsible populace.It is going to be rough.Add to that an inexperienced Financial Secretary and a Finance Minister who seems out of place.

The Ministry of Works has consistently under performed in the maintenance on this island. They need to take some lessons from the department of works in the US city,where sister lives.

Each family island is unique and beautiful in its own way. Not every one wants to live on New Providence.

Mr.Wilson was a very competent civil servant. He and the previous FS John Rolle did a good job in establishing the department of inland revenue. He is a casualty of our politics and cronyism.The new FS has not worked in the Ministry of Finance in years, doe not have the technical background and was not a senior official when he left.It like a person who does not practice surgery in years and is brought back as head of surgery at PMH. But this is how the Bahamas roll.

Mr.Wilson was a very competent civil servant. He and the previous FS John Rolle did a good job in attempting to modernize and develop the inland revenue department. He is a casualty of the political wars and cronyism.You have a new FS who has worked in the Ministry of Finance in years and was not a senior official when he left. It is equal to a person who does not perform surgery for years and then is made head of surgery at PMH. But all I can say this is how the Bahamas roll.Like some one I respect commented,this decision makes no sense.
