So is this the result of a lack of communication with the chair Ms. Small, who should be managing funds to upkeep the place or was the government ignoring to allocated the funds requested??
See us Bahamians is, identify the problem, come up with a solution but, don't ask why the problem happened in the 1st place.
The only controversial thing I've seen in this article is the suggestion that major parties should have a key to access the ballot box. The main political parties have to much sway already in this country.
Every other suggestion is standard and reasonable. All of the information that is on the Biometric voter card already is already accessible either through a passport or NIB # or US visa.
As long as voting is left manual, there nothing wrong with having biometric registration/records. People need to learn the difference.
You know if we had a government with a concept of Plan and sense, maybe the redevelopment of Nassau wouldn't be such a royal mess.
That district has been sitting empty for more than a decade now. For all the Cruise Industry we have tenant were/are leaving and vacating. The Building weren't being upkept.
We aren't the only old city to have urban decay like this, In London the had the Dockland. Which was turned into a massive Financial and Residential District. Many of these buildings and our city was built to serve the resident of the city.
When we made our downtown into nothing more than a cruise ship theme park, Residents moved away, Businesses that served the resident shut down.
How about instead of knocking everything down we use some of this space for Urban Housing.
Now I don't often agree with Munroe's opinions a lot, but he is correct in saying that this guy actions should be punished.
You can't destroy national/historical monuments just because they hurt your feelings or because they are associated with colonialism. If you want it gone file a petition or protest, not be some vandal.
**This entire countries History, Society, and Culture is associated with our Colonial Past**. If we are going to break up a statue for showing Columbus, are we going to rename Shirley Street, Stapledon, and Matthew Town because they share their name with Royal Governors?
What about the Dundas or Gregory Town, or Dowdeswell St?
The funnier thing about it is it was put there by fmr slaves. Furthermore, just because homeboy have a statue doesn't mean everyone thinks he's great lol. He isn't a Marcus Garvey, that statue was doing literally nothing to him.
There is nothing wrong with Early Elections, the problem is that our system has no rules for fair governance. In other countries you're allowed to register before/after an early election is called but in our country we bar people.
If we got some electoral reform maybe it would be fairer, but that's the same type issues as the FOIA (The Freedom of Information Act). We get told it is unfair, we get promised change and we don't see it.
If you close them down, that state essentials will be controlled by a private monopoly. They'll hike up the prices and we consumers won't have a say nor alternative.

I think the government should require a deal regarding supply of Salt Bahamas to Morton to be made prior to sale of the property.
We've seen too much times how places change ownership and go out of business.
