If Minnis were leader of the FNM, there are people in Marathon who won't vote FNM. He lost the general election then lost the FNM leadership and now all of a sudden has the answers. Due to the way he has handled not being the leader (after resigning and then losing a vote), FNM should ditch him. This will most probably mean a PLP will win Killarney, but the issues Minnis brings if allowed to run for FNM is too much. He had 2,501 votes in 2021 against 4,186 in 2017, so many in Killarney did not want him

If there is a chance that there wont be enough parking I am sure Town planning will approve. They seem to think that the roads are for parking on.

Government does not have the brain power to work out how to stop those wealthy people who are obtaining the VAT back. Instead they go after everyone. This is what they do on most things. They lack the know how to go after those who are breaking the rules, so just try and go after everyone in the hope it stops the ones doing wrong. In reality it just pushes more to break the rules.

Until Yamacraws boundary is the sea out east, the boundary commission is a joke and only making changes for political reasons.

Income tax wouldn't work. We rely on tourists to pay a large part of our tax for us. if we got rid of all then it is only those who work who would be taxed. There is around 220,000 workers here. Forecasted revenue for 2025/26 in tax is $3.4 Billion, so each worker would need to contribute $15,454.55. If you say only put it on the richest 50,000 then they would need to contribute $68,000 each.

WE all know they ain't passing that cost on. Those are their friends etc so of course the Bahamian public will have to pay to remove it. Wait till the cost of removing the bridge to the old Coral World is needed as that's about to collapse, i am sure that will be on us to pay, and no doubt to the tune of millions $$

Government on purpose does not give any useful information out, to make sure you have no idea what is correct or not. As such i don't trust much that comes out of Government officials mouths as there is no repercussion for lying nor is there anyway to see if it is correct. Except for months or years later when what they said would happen did not happen.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was for early up front gains at the expense of long term. Government is desperately hoping to bring a surplus in next year, and this would help. Even if it is just a paper surplus. Ask anyone who does business with Government, or is owed a VAT refund from Government and they are not getting paid in a timely manner.

Why anyone would want to invest in a company which will be run by the company which is unable to pay currently for the water it gets is beyond me. But guess someone somewhere may want to.

There is no way the port authority is concerned with safety. Watch the harbor on any given day right outside the ports office and you can tell that is not the case. In this case i assume someone who has no small boating experience thought this was a good idea. Will no doubt be another rule selectively enforced.
