These projects are always transformational, and then 10 years down the line you realize nothing much has changed for the Bahamians living there, just another area they can't go to.
So if we have "“**record” half-year revenues of $1.44bn** " but also "**Recurrent expenditure on civil salaries, rents and goods/services rose by $192.2m, or almost $200m, to strike $1.619bn**" we truly are screwed.
Of course it will be. They will spend the next month or so telling Bahamians how these rich foreigners (they may even throw in white as well to really have an impact) are not paying their fair share. Then once everyone is riled up they will do this. All along knowing that the Bahamas will not be getting anywhere near what they should on the mooring deal. The fact is there should be mooring spots that are paid for. These should go to each island district so they can fund local items. Not to a connected person so they can live large.
Government has no idea what it is doing. It just creates new laws with the hope it may raise revenue and with no consideration of the amount of time and work it takes the private sector to enforce. But then again Government is lead by numerous people who never would make it in the private sector if it wasn't for their public connections.
Another form to be filled out that says items which the Government should already know. But i assume they have no idea where to get this information. All this will do is sit in an office as it appears Government is unable to understand what they already know.
