I am sure Mr. Woods understands that if Atlantis does not get as many cruise ship day passes they will then not need as many staff to handle those that come. So if a day comes when that happens he will be OK with it. As a note i do know that there will be people employed at RCI, just pointing out there will probably end of being less at Atlantis, which Mr. Woods seems ok with.

“Most property taxes are owned by foreign-owned properties because you know Bahamians have a wide level exemption, so this is probably driven mostly by non-Bahamian-owned properties,” he said.

So basically this is just a guess as he has no idea, but it sounds good to say it won't affect Bahamians .

The east bay street ones are ones where someone (assume MOW) has dug them up and then left it for a week. How this is allowed is beyond me. It can't be that hard to dig up, fix what you need to and repair, all in one day, two at most. But we accept mediocre service so thats all we get.

This is not good. Inland Revenue should not be able to do this without a court order. Once that has happened then take the items away. As it is, if inland revenue is wrong they should be liable to cover the loss of business as well as reputational damage. We are now in the busy part of our tourism season, it seems there will be a number of disgruntled guests without golf carts this week.

Umm that is the exact opposite of what has been implied by the PM and DPM. So which is it?

The letter writer assumes a lot. To say if we had income tax there would be no debt and little poverty is strange. Pretty much every country that has income tax has both of these, so why would we be any different. What rate does the writer propose the income tax to be. And what effect would that rate have on the number of persons paying? As a note i am not saying we shouldn't have income tax, i just feel before it is introduced we need to look at the full effect and also what the rate would be.

You assume there is thinking?

Go with whoever is cheaper for the public. If it is the big company then so be it.

Umm if treat us as an equal partner, we will therefore do the same for them and provide them with schools etc? After all thats what an equal partner does.

Lol thinking that the EIA is going to say anything that will stop the project. This has been decided long ago. I wouldn't even be suprised if there is a breakwater put in which would destroy the whole area envioronmentally.
