This can't be our government that doesn't care about the environment. Every time he is out of country (so most days) the PM is bashing the world about people having to do right by the environment. There is no way he would therefore have a government that does not care about the environment. Not in Exuma, Or on NP where every other day whole areas of Forest are being bulldozed down with no impact done. Nope No way the PM would allow any of this.

Whilst cost of food is an issue (though as some have pointed out above there are options). One of the biggest issues is the lack of well lit and secure areas to get exercise on. All the locations are badly lit and unsecure so people leave once it gets dark. If we could make it safe to be in the parks more people would exercise which would hopefully flow through our healt.h

Government can promise all they want for things to move fast and work. but they know they never will. The only way for that to happen is to stop the rampant corruption at every level , and there is no incentive for those that can stop it to do that.

Dawes says...

The money for the fire trucks was probably spent on the west end election and sending all those Government members there. Or it could also have been on sending the team to see Trump get inaugurated. I mean what else are our taxes for, if not for those amazing elected officials and their friends to prance around like royalty.

Dawes says...

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.

Dawes says...

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
