I am sure this is already approved, Town planning doesn't often say no (even when no planning is evident). Maybe if Government would have to at the same time increase WSC, Schools, Clinics etc to take account of the growth they would reconsider. But highly unlikely.

Do hotels pay real property? Do hotels pay duty? Then vacation rentals should get the same exemptions.

Hmm i wonder what was revised? The details or who got what?

Under no circumstances will i vote for a Minnis lead party again, and i feel that a lot of people i know feel the same. So FNM can re-vote him in as leader and expect to stay out of power for longer (and even know it doesn't look like they would win)

Will Government give the vacation rentals duty free and real property tax free like hotels get?

Dawes says...

Give it some time and i'm sure a different portal provider will be found, no doubt using the same platform and paying the same amount. The only difference will be the color of the peoples t-shirts

yes they had to take a test. It was how much you willing to give. If enough they passed. Simple really.

I fully agree with the letter writer. There should be some enforcement on these establishments. When outside my house i can hear a nightclub going, and i wonder how bad it must be for those living next to it, and why people need it to be that loud. Unfortunately from the sounds of it, nothing will happen, and will only continue to get worse. Chances are someone you have already spoken to is involved with the club and can make sure they can continue.

Tomorrows article, "We must make travel to family islands more affordable". Family island airports (especially on tier 2 and further) should be quite easy to do. Give someone a 40 year lease to build an airport for you that must have certain facilities. The airport doesn't need to be overly large as most flights only carry a small number of people. Whoever builds it can have the sole restaurant/bar and all other concessions etc to make their money back. And the airport charges $5 total a ticket which is used at the airport. What the above will do is build large airports, not used that often and not maintained, all because it looks good in the photo opportunity.

Until they name who and press charges, i won't bother getting outraged. Trying to drum up outrage when you are not going to do anything is pointless
