streetlights? stop signs? why you all digging up the nice new roads? what does a hole in the ground have to do with an above ground event? many roads were paved 2 years before the storm, now they might as well have not bothered, they all swiss cheese up. this organization has about as much credibility as NEMA these days. airport repairs? Govt complex repairs? AC in offices that don't have windows that can open? rebuild police station or will they stay in the borrowed office? the public docks? the playgrounds?
When the public sector civil service is reduced to an appropriate and manageable 15% of the entire labour force, then we can talk. until then... i say general strike if they want more blood from the stone. Right now 40% of us are working our a$$e$ off to support the other 60% of the workforce who get lifelong govt salary, deduction, pension, health insurance. My families biggest annual bill is health insurance... guess what is going to be cut when taxes go up? the health insurance.
The 33% does not probably include Bananasair, BPL, W&S, Arawak Cay Port, NIA, COB, etc. Add these in and you get up to 50% easily. I'd bet 2021 the number is probably higher like 60/40. 40% of us are working our a$$e$ off to support the rest of the entire country. Good grief Charlie Brown.
so much for transparency. where are the details? and Bahamasair carries on smartly with my money, as does W&S and all the other things which remain the same. And which 3 bahamians get the lucky green licenses coming up? guess its not me :(
So $1,800,0000,0000 is not enough money per year? you are saying they need more money? maybe cut the 50/50 ratio of public to private sector labour to a more reasonable 70/30 and we can see about how much revenue is actually really needed.
