The question really is how much was Government making before this, after all the costs were taken into account. If less then this is a win for government and therefore the public. .
So Mr. Dingman says "What we are proposing is an implementation of EP Taylor’s government approved masterplan for Condominium Site #2". Then later on the article says " However, the land is not zoned for multi-family dwelling or structures beyond one storey high and conveyances to EPL say this unequivocally". So which is it Tribune? if it is in the masterplan then approve, if not and its not zoned for it then don't. If you want to change the zoning, it should be done gradually, maybe to duplex's etc. But to go from one storey to 9 this quick is wrong. Either way not too worried about it as i'll never be able to live there, but it is the precedent that may then occur in areas i can live.
As many have said, everytime a crime such as this happens the commissioner (whoever it maybe) talks about being aggressive. Then in a short while there will be some police involved shootings and the public will say good, they should do it more. Then we all forget and then it happens again, and we start the same circus. Of course no-one notes that it is happening more frequently and nothing is actually being done to change it. The way we police is not working. We need massive overall if we are to make a difference, and this will be across all boards of life, from education to the police. If not we will continue as we are.
Pay them a proper wage, but also get rid of the mandatory gratuity. There is nothing worse then having to pay 15% for lousy service and then be asked if you want to tip extra. If the service is good then of course tip, but you shouldn't be forced to tip 15%.
If the taxi cabs used a sensible price method they might actually get much more business from Bahamians. How does it cost me twice as much to travel 3 miles here as it does to travel 10 miles in Miami? In addition the taxis don't want to give Bahamians rides, they would prefer sitting at the airport for half the day for a ride to Atlantis and then sit there for the next half for a ride back.
You give them your PIN? That is silly to do and asking for fraud on your card. You should never give your PIN. If this is true Government is in breach of their agreement with the credit card companies.

Wonder if the man has heard of things like the interne and phones. People don't actually need to be physically there to do the work.

And rightly so. Why pay when you know the government will have an amnesty and let you pay even less then. There is no penalty in not paying .
