Normally that is the case with Capital spend. However, if due to this they aren't using the people used for the Abaco Hurricane Shelter, or RM Bailey or many other examples then this might actually be good news for Bahamas.

I can understand if the Freeport car is bonded. As no duty has been paid. If they didn't do that all of us would import via Freeport.

So who is responsible for having a way to track the doctors overtime? Of course it is the Government. Is he now saying he won't pay the overtime as there was no way to track it? He has known this for the last 3 years and done nothing to change it. Yet again trying to spin that it is the other sides fault and never the Government who seem to be unable to change anything in a positive manner.

LOL, he keeps putting his foot in it. If the healthcare of the citizen was so important to the PM , he would direct only essential travel to happen, and the savings to be put to health care. But no, him and his friends must travel. How much did Clint's travel to Dubai cost? Bet it would pay for many new machines at PMH. But no, under no circumstances should the high life of the powers that be, be lowered to help the citizens.

I do not agree with Government funding the renovations of the union, nor giving them crown land. however if you agreed to that in the MOU this should be done. Your fault for agreeing to something to get what you wanted and then not keeping your end of the Bargin

Government is just playing the card they always do, which is to blame the companies for the cost of living. It is never their fault. There is nothing they can do about BPL being one of the largest cost to a business (can you imagine the cost of electricity in a supermarket with chillers and freezers). There is nothing they can do about the duty rates, there is nothing they can do about the large increase in expense to get a business license (whether you only need a basic accountant review or now an audit). There is nothing they can do about the fact that stores have to spend a large amount on security personal and cameras. Basically per the Government there is nothing they can do and it is all the private sectors fault the cost has gone up. Unfortunately many will believe them

When PLP reduce VAT to 10% but put it on all bread basket items they said this was due to it not being right that wealthy benefitted from VAT free items. They said it would be better for Government to increase social services to help those most in need. They did nothing to help social services and now they are doing the opposite of what they said was needed. All in the hope it will help them in the next election. Why should someone who earns $100,000 need 5% off their food. Use the $30 million reduction to help those who need it most. If its 3,000 then that's $10,000 each, if 30,000 that's $1,000 each. Either way much more then the 5% reduction will help them

But you've spent the last 3 years telling us that it was better to have the same VAT on all items. Why the sudden change?

We have spent over half a billion dollars on Bahamasair (and this was 10 years ago so its a lot more), and don't get good service. Other local airlines seem to manage it to most locations. it would be cheaper for the Bahamian public if Government guaranteed a certain number of seats on each plane to the unprofitable islands then and Bahamasair working.

You can't buy all the shares you want. If you could then it could become a 100% owned Bahamian entity.
