$1 million for a business license seems a lot. I'm sure it could have been done for a lot less

LOL 50 years of independence and we can't even go one summer without load shedding.

What happens after two months when these machines don't work? Will no body be able to get their car licensed?

Great news, just in time for many people to try and get home from work. They must have had the brightest minds thinking of how to do this at the best time. Don't know why they don't just close bay street permanently as they like to do it so often.

Thats right, Move West bay Street off the seaside. Then we can sell that land to foreigners so we can't see the sea.
Also on the idea of a footbridge, sounds great until you realize that people won't use it and there will be no consequences by law.. So no point in wasting that money.

Can the tribune check where large taxpayers have 3-7 days to file and pay. A quick look online showed that the UK and Europe is over a month after, Trinidad is 25th day and Barbados is 21 days. So where is the countries that have to file in 3-7 days. Also there is no way the Government will be able to make all the large companies have an audit by March 31st with the number of auditors we have here. We will need to import a lot more to do that. It is very scary that the secretary responsible for Finance says stuff like "I think people make these statements generally, but this is the 21st century Bahamas not the 20th century. We have quite a few auditors and audit firms." when he obviously does not understand what it entails.

call it what it is, an income tax

You will never get downtown going again if you have cars coming through and are closing it every couple of weeks to prance around for photos.

Theres plenty right next to the police station after the Pointe, or is that not down town?

What has the PM done to help climate change in The Bahamas? Where is the recycling? Where is the solar incentives? Where is the protection of the environment. All i see are more developments, more hills being cut down, more trees being bulldozed over. He talks a good talk but does nothing to make a change, expecting others to not only do the change, but also pay him at the same time.
