No one pays property taxes. Customs only collect 50% of what it should. Civil Servant salary advances are not payed back. Fraud at the post office bank.
The writer of this article should be aware that the term "African American" refers to historic origin, such as "German American" or "Italian American" . It does not describe race.
In fact to use the terms "African American" and Black American as having the same meaning is, in its self, racist as it discriminates against the thousands of people who were born in Africa and who are white and have since their birth become US citizens.
What - The article states in the first line that they are from the NBA franchise. Other "teams" that have come to the Bahamas for photo shoots have been, for the most part, football teams. This might be the first NBA team. Hence the examples used are all football teams.
The Ravens, for example, come to the Bahamas every year in conjunction with the calendar shoot and a Fan promotion.
How hard is this to figure out. No one pays their taxes now, so why would anyone believe that people will pay a new tax. You have under 50% compliance now so it will be the same with VAT or lower.
The Government can not stop CRIME. The Government can not collect TAXES. All the Government can do is spend (meaning waste) the money that "the few" actually pay.

Each article mentions the $0.28 per KwH vs. what BEC sells the electricity for $0.35 - $0.40 and talks about the savings.
But the $0.28 is the cost to BEC. Then you have overhead costs, payroll, overtime, and everything else.
No one has mentioned what BEC's current base cost to generate electricity is. Maybe they do not know.
Will they actually save anything with this proposal or will it cost BEC more
