Truly “A New Day” … fanning innuendo and libelous rhetoric in an unregulated environment caused much unnecessary division in such a “small” community that was traditionally for the most part prior to The Punch harmonious.
Oh Boy … what does Sir Intellectual Elitist Genius propose … Lucayan/Taino/Arawak/Carib Day (can’t insert Indian as that would be racist) as these are the only “true” ancestral inhabitants of these Islands … the rest of us … White, Red, Bright, Yellow, Brown, Black, Blue … European, North/South American,African, Indian, Chinese …are “all” New Comers … but irrespective, can trace their presence here today back to “Discovery” by Columbus!?!
An Inquiry into the scandalous manner in which huge amounts of money were spent giving Contracts to a “select” few who proceeded to “pad” their Billings for very little end result … hence the current dismal state of recovery in Abaco and the anger of its residents … who expressed such disgust at the Polls.
It is truly amazing how this Country finds ways to destroy anything that is good … Captive Insurance (now Bermuda) …. IBCs (now BVI) … Funds (now Cayman) … Hotel Rates (been to DR or Cancun recently?) … Shipping & Yacht Registry … Offshore Banking … why not kill High End Real Estate … a Country can not Tax its way out of Debt … but what is most sad is all of these Industries generated “many” lucrative Jobs that would have ensured healthy Tax revenues from existing avenues.
This no “new” idea as it has been obvious since Independence that are 3 National Security issues: Drugs, Poaching and Refugees all come from the South …. what is required is a “major” Defence Force Facility staffed with 70% personnel, 20% in Bimini, leaving remaining 10% at Coral Harbour … and then an “electronic” Wall to alert for immediate reaction.
Remove BIA from the investment equation and let whatever investment exists today flow in without impediment … many will fail, but some will succeed … let the free market decide … either way, money flows in and fuels the economy.
The Election is legit irrespective of Voter turn out … those who did not vote simply chose not to exercise their right … and in turn to have a say in the future of the Country … may they “sit small” and contemplate all those that fight … and have died around the World for such right which they could not be bothered to take half an hour of their time to impact their future.
