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.

Typical government response. The more direct question is: What are you, as a representative of the people in power, doing about the murder rate? The numbers don't lie, nor should they be dismissed. Those were humans, good or bad actors.

What happened to all the previous RFPs on renewables that have passed the PM desk with little responses? From solar to biofuels to plasma burning of garbage to Otec and more... The lack of interest beyond public relations is baffling & benefits the status quo.

You sound like Mr. Trump-ateer. "Immigration is poisoning our blood". So how many Lucayans are ready to work?

Sorry to say, the Political Class will maintain the Numbing & Dumbing of the Populous until the Journalist & Media Class relentlesly demand answers! That is provided there is a difference in the two, which evidently there is none based on the unanswered issues.

Here we go again, reinventing the wheel to suit our special interests. Instead of following Common Sense, that rarest of our intelligence character.
Why can't we learn from what trials and pains others have experienced in their learning process? I.e.: should we follow the loose building codes of North & Central Florida, whom for years Until Recently, have evaded hurricanes. Or follow South Florida Building Code with our historically similar weather experience? Or neither, let's put-our-heads-in-the-sand while reinventing the wheel, looking busy.
The consequences of this disparity is increased damage and high insurance cost For All.
(In implementation of new rules there must be a reasonable "grandfathering" period for adjustment.)
