They are basically holding this family (and many others as i know of a few) up in the expectation of a bribe. They couldn't care less about what they are required to do, and no one in charge of them has the will to stop them (or maybe they are in on it too). Kudos to Mr. Lightbourn for bringing it to the news, too often they expect people to sit quietly as they don't want to rock the boat and get denied. His wife has met all the requirements to be Bahamian as such it should be given. Or they should change the Constitution. Mr Lightbourn should consider suing the Government as well due to them not following he law.

Am i correct in thinking that those who have done the right thing and paid their real property tax on time are getting screwed. What incentive is there to pay this tax if successive Governments give an amnesty. You may as well pocket the money each year and wait for the amnesty and then pay. If this is right then i would advise no FNM person to come solicit my vote this year.

Pay them and close the airport and use Governors. Also close the wellfields and dump. Problem solved.

Then the bar should deal with these people. But they don't. As they don't they can all be tarred.

All the associations over here are only there to protect the members and not the public. There are many cases of Doctors, Accountants and Lawyers doing stuff which should lead to their disbarment and yet all the association does is close ranks. Its another reason why a lot of people think of those who are members of these associations as jokes, no matter how high and mighty they talk (or those silly wigs some wear).

And yet nothing will change, unless they decide Bahamaair need newer aircraft. They haven't even tried to think outside the box (example using the planes to bring in all those Amazon goods people are buying, as that will at least provide them with income), all they have done is decide that the tax payer can continue to fund the airline as normal. Useless

The government have been warned that we would collapse for over 20 years and the only thing they have done is VAT and then an increase in spending. And yet many people still fawn over them as though they are amazing. They are not they are failures and hopefully one day their complete incompetence's will be shown for all to see. The problem is how far we have to go down before that can happen. Fully expect no change in the type of person running this country after the next election so we have at least 5 more years of this ( the type will be either FNM or PLP and both have showed how useless they are to everyone in The Bahamas except themselves).

Minis talks a good game on transparency and honesty but that's all he does. We were promised a FOIA which has not materialized. I have no intention of voting for him again due to this one item (and there are many more).

They never will, i think there was another case a short while ago and the police had body cameras, we heard nothing. They rely on the fact that we all have a short attention span, so will move onto something else shortly

They have enough cash for no sailings for 2021. They are sailing in some areas so they do have cash. Whether it would be sensible to hold onto the $100 million is a different matter, however that $100 million is not going to be spent all at once but over the timeframe of the project.
