Every Government has been saying this since i was a kid, and nothing changes. Whilst i hope they succeed, my previous experience makes me think this is all talk.
Marinas got lucky the last two years as we were one of the few places open that they could go. Others have now opened so people are going some where else this year. Was always going to happen.
and nothing will happen. And now the PLP will reward their people and in 5 years we will all find out how much and be outraged, and then nothing will happen. Both parties must laugh at the Bahamian People and how easily lead we are.
They are both just as bad as the other. And to think they walk around as though they do good. This country could be so much better without those two parties.
You mean the same rules us Bahamians have to follow to get to the US. Getting to Canada is even harder? Or the rule that the thousands of tourists who come here are able to follow. Seems this letter writer is unable to get a simple test. Oh well shall wait for the next letter in a week on this subject and wait for Alan1 to say how right this letter writer is.
It doesn't affect only 36 people. It affects all of us as we are the ones paying for it. When will people realize that when the Government spends it is our money. And yes that $100m plus was a waste as well.
> r Wilson declined to give a figure for how much the Government believes it loses out on annually in uncollected taxes, but added: “Based on internal discussions and what we know, we feel - and that’s the persons involved in tax administration in the Government - very comfortable it’s a significant figure.”
So you have no idea how much it could be but decide to make it just enough to cover your expense increase which is happening no matter what. Amazing that.
Today must be April 1st. No way the above will happen. Our Government's of whatever party do not know how to curtail spending, especially if revenue has increased. All that would happen is they would see Revenue has gone up by $250 million and then spend $300 million thinking they have plenty money.
