Think they were meant to publish this on April 1st. This can't be real. You are talking about millions, if not billions in investment and the company you sign up with has no experience of doing anything like this. How
We are inept so i don't expect any change. I was driving past the gladstone road roundabout the other day and realized that we have known it was not good and needed to be fixed since it opened. That is 10-15 years ago. And yet still no change, and none on the horizon. Government has basically said to hell with all the people stuck in the traffic there due to its layout, as they would rather spend money on baseball stadiums, pavements, cars galore, traveling . Then actually doing something that might help the citizens.
Ahh more people to waste money on. No doubt will be an increase in cabinet after the election so even more can be wasted. You could probably reduce the number of MPs to 3 and we wouldn't notice any difference, except for less cars blazing through traffic with their sirens on.
But the stores they may shop at are (RP) and the fish they may buy are. As well as the owners of other stores, who all then put up their good prices to cover the increase in tax they are paying
It never should have got to this. If the fee increases are the right way then come out with the studies that show this. Know that just because Government may increase their revenue that does not mean it is a "win", if the marinas see a decrease this will lead to a direct decrease to Bahamians who rely on this industry. The studies would then need to show if that decrease is worth it.
