Please take an outside look at Nassau & it's serious social, economic, logistical, communication issues before you promote the virtues of existing governance... Let's not forget the Out Islands.

Regarding the Eastern Grand Bahama. Lets not forget the Dorian-caused oil storage leak & associated cleanup fiasco. What do samplings in those areas indicate?
Yes, there certainly is arsenic & copper in ship bottom paint, particularly in the sand-blasted removal of old paint. What does the Shipyard do with the water & sediments?

As an owner of multiples of loyal dogs, over the years, mostly Shepherds. It's a matter of training and education of the animal AND the humans. Without these there will be bad encounters. Owning a dog, as any animal, requires Knowledge & Responsibility, mostly the latter. This is most important for certain breeds commonly used for security & more commonly not trained, just bought & not socialized.
There is a common issue of roaming unsecured dogs in the streets due to irresponsible owners who don't care or know. As with most animals, particularly dogs, protecting themselves & breeding are the primary reason for existence. Public has the responsibility to not be aggressive, abusive & commonly throwing stones at dogs. (Inducing Protection). Owners must control location during Breeding periods.owners must Control these drives, if not able & willing... Do Not Own!!!

Corporate responsibility is to the local community, as it is to employees, share holders, environmental and economy. The ever present balancing act called capitalism.
Corporate activity doing damage to other's property must be addressed, it's why we have laws.
Our islands are limestone sponges, full of cracks, gaps where salt & fresh water move incessantly with tides & rains. Quarrying non replenishing material has a price to all.

As challenging as it may be to decide on matters of employment, industry, safety, future & environmental matters; there is a need for facts. One fact not addressed to date... What portion of Bahama Rock product is exported beyond these islands?
Islands are Limited Entities, period! What non-regenerating resources are we exporting? How do we grow more rock? How many millions of years?
Ultimate Capitalist Florida has limited limestone/sand exporting.

You are sooo correct! Overtime is a management tool or a blame tool. When equipment is worn out, breakdowns are expected &expensive. If the equipment is new, it's poor choice or poor maintenance, or both. Or overtime is simply a part of the salary structure. This latter would apply to many, not 10 out of 100s. If it is 10, there is a training problem. These audits are necessary, not a convenient political football.

Once again, as they did with cruising yachtowners fees, the government is whipping a starving cash cow. Travelers at this level will just look elsewhere to visit. They can afford to change " for the principal of it"!!!
