Funds should be dedicated to a storm-proof airport in High Rock (key word HIGH). Govt already possess the old USAirForce base with more than adequate space for international quality passenger & freight airport. Beautiful beaches for hotels. Existing highway for freight & commuter busses. Future shuttle rail would allow local & GB expansion beyond Freeport/PA. There is even room for agriculture, ask the DEA. ;)
Want to lower utility cost? Increase competitive environment in the utilities industry. Government should Own the Grid, Regulate & Monitor Generation, lease not operate. Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) not Public Private Purchases (PPAP) which create monopolies.Add Strong Performance Clauses with Penalties to each contracted PPA. Low or costly output, maintenance of equipment & grid...goodbye. A weak PUC with no authority to monitor & regulate is political window dressing for public relations.
The expectation of something for nothing is today's mantra. Low Performance and acceptance of Low Effort for received Benefit is the differentiation of societies, cultures and generations. I.e.: You get what you accept!! accepting d grade graduates, will reflect in lazy, entitled workers enabled by Parents & Politicians. accepting mediocre service, will reflect in unprofessional attitude & corruption. Low Wages in a High Cost environment confirms the banana republic society, with no bananas. so don't accept, demand better from all.
Why is this "the Prime Minister Davis first official visit to Grand Bahama since being elected..."? With the major issues facing it's 50k people? Would he give up on 1/4 of Nassau? Or has he? Recommend, Less International Travel with entourage, more Travel In-Country with eyes open.
Is this the New Math? Looks more like a Shell Game to me. Shifting the criminal amounts among categories & subcategories is still fraud, particularly in a country so sea bound. I suppose there are nobody who can read the values of new or used boats on the Internet Once again, Reinventing The Wheel! ...How are others managing?
Guess that amount May cover the Travel Cost of this administration & it's entourage. They expect the man on the street to comply, while the political elite don't!! Amazing! The French & Russian Revolutions started this way... Keep it up. Enough is enough.
Incredibly, we are able to send & receive packages to US quite readily. If there are no facilities to process rape kits in country, there are labs in Florida. They may be backlogged, as rape is a common criminal act world-wide.
Ever hear of Cats? Instead of environmental damaging rat poiso, Ever Hear of CATS? If each house/building has a resident cat, you would be surprised at the impact on rat populations...but you must neuter the cats, something Bahamian society is reluctant to do, even for the existing stray dog packs. Then you can address the 4 legged issue.
