the entire property tax role needs to be widely publically available to ensure everyone is taxed fairly. how would you feel if you found out your neighbor was paying a lot less than you despite having a very similar home. hiding it implies nefarious intent
And yet the DRA is still composed entirely of people who have little to no ties to the island. I bet there are persons who live and work on the island of Abaco who would be willing to assist with little to no compensation but then how would we get that money out of the public purse would we.
guns will have little to no effect on domestic violence. why not let every woman carry a handgun in their purse, that might help. the guns are here and we cannot bury our head in the sand on this issue. after dorian almost every foreign owned vessel which was washed assure had at least 1 weapon in it. how many got turned into the COP? any at all? how about just reported missing. this is not the UK and we have more in common with the US on gun ownership. how many bets this learned justice carries one orhas an officer around at all times carrying one. the duplicity of do as i say not what i do in the justice system in this country is not a good look. after having illegal guns pulled on me more than once in my 40+ years alive the 'blessed' Bahamas, i am non-violent person but i demand the right to defend my family from ill intentioned intruder. yes lets continue to bury head in sand whilemassive gun toting elephant is in the room.
I agree. Why is this not getting more media attention? A society is judged on the way it treats things like pets and orphans. The Bahamas track record is does not look very rosy.
I don't understand why this is news??? the bill is not a responsibility of anyone except the parties involved and the lawfirms acting on their behalf. silly to bring this into public light unless it is to serve some ulterior motive.
Funny how these rules are not applied to all the other unlicensed property management companies around the Bahamas? Is the department of Inland Revenue complicit in granting business licenses for property management to persons who do not hold a legal real estate license? Also funny how these rules do not apply to places like Baker's Bay and Albany (or do they?)
the entire property tax role is supposed to be published and publically available as prescribed in the law. but it isnt is it. why? so we can know if our tax bill is equitable to the neighbors. so we are not getting i higher bill than the civil servant next door. but the bahamas is not a real place or rather it is 2 different places those in govt' and those who are not
