If a Bahamian dictionary were created I'm quite sure the words transparency, accountability, honesty etc. would be conveniently omitted. We don't even know where to start...
So all we Bahamians got to pay for a few hundred to have a job in Freeport? Isn't there already a huge civil service? And you know every MP every senator, PM DPM and perm. Secretary going to be hanging out running up bills, free rooms, free meals, free room service and mini bar. Etc. Etc. Etc. And next thing you know VAT going to be 20% so afew hundred lucky souls in Freeport cud get one gubmin jab.
Mr. Allen, maybe you could ask the Bahamian Oligarchy (lawyers and politicians) who own vast tracts of land around the Bahamas, why they aren't paying property taxes? undeveloped land is not taxed if owned by a Bahamian.
Mr. Allen. you fail to note that Bahamians are the ones who DON'T pay their tax bills. the vast majority of foreign owners keep their taxes up to date. Your statements are also incorrect, owner occupied real property tax under $250,000 is 0 ZERO Nil, none, zilch. while the proposed increases for foreign owned was going to go increase 10 fold for some. Please get your facts straight before spewing xenophobic diatribe. it does nothing to improve our image or improve our supposed wealth. If the country is so wealthy, please, pray tell, why do so many need school uniforms to be bought for them?
Meanwhile another dozen go to court then her majesty's for possession, trafficking or cultivation last week. And the Haitian Jamaican gangs keep making massive profits.

I would argue that the port has zero value. Gov't should take it. I would further argue the hotel is a liability not an asset.
