good job using the 2020's buzzword. airports are by design unsustainable in many aspects of the word. Are we referencing economics or end of the world scenarios, i can't tell.
"Many observers have also called for NIB to cut its administrative costs, and urged the Government to stop using it as a financier of last resort." Maybe just maybe there is an alternative to screwing the public once again. What about all those exceptional investments with really great returns like all those really large loans? Abaco Gov't complex, the shopping centre, are 2 that come to mind. Maybe cut upper level management back dramatically? Just sticking it to the people for the gov'ts complete incompetence is par for course in the Bahamas no? As usual these manipulative politrickshins never tell the full story.
Ok, sounds great. Every vacation rental home is now automatically given all the tax breaks in the hotel encouragement act, like zero impot duties on cars, boats, furniture, appliances, building materials, no property tax, etc. etc. But about the whole business license and VAT regristrant thing when will they change the law so that the govt isn't breaking it by trying to force a homeowner to become a business with $100k turnover. Inland revenue needs to get body checked
someone got their eye on that contract, probably got some numerical financial backing too and could be wearing a yellow shirt? If it is the people's cash why is it so hush hush? In the absence of full disclosure, one can only assume nefarious intent no?
