The Bahamas Government started this corrupt nonsense as a means for agency and corporation bosses and ministers to receive "commissions" aka "kickbacks" for contracts, such contracts generally going to the cronies of the day.
Fifty years "majority rule" independence celebrated by bringing on corporate income tax. Way to go Bahamas! Fifty years of ever-increasing, relentless borrowing and not paying back the debt has resulted in the lenders insisting on austerity measures. The austerity falls on the backs of the working classes, not the politicians and their cronies. Case in point, let's just buy a hundred new police vehicles to smash up!😣
What about 'BPL' and the ever-increasingly exorbitant fuel surcharge for other Islanders? Not everyone is on 'gubment' salary and in a position to embellish it by various and sundry means.
GB Utility "said 40 percent of its customer base - the lowest volume users - will see no hike at all, while another 47 percent will suffer an average $8 per month rise." GB Utility appears to be mirroring the current U.S. Dem policy of pandering to the less fortunate at the expense of the more fortunate or the more hard-working as the case may be....
The greedy ignoramuses (ignorami) should check out Venice, a once beautiful destination ruined by cruise ships. What an asinine idea! Needs to be nixed.

Talk is cheap, these grandiose ideas are not. If Bahamas Government is involved it is doomed for failure, might as well let it continue to lie fallow.
