Is that all you take out of this article. Minnis is right about Cat Island's dilapidated state. Unfortunately, he is wrong when it comes to Killarney being all happy and rosy. Especially when the sidewalks & curbs are crumbling and his administration conducting tree felling only to leave all the stumps in the ground.
The reason why we have this problem is because we refused to charge the necessary fees for development. For example our airspace was able to be used for free for nearly 50 years when we could have used the money from that to pay for airport services.
If we charged a minimal fee for like 20 years from 2003 to now we wouldn't have to take such drastic price increases now.
Very true, people don't care for the rules. Although that is why designing roads and infrastructure that coerces people not to speed is better than roads that ask them not to.
Our Minister of Finance everyone. I always wondered why the PM had to get the finance ministry despite it being quite possibly that they don't have the skills to run the ministry. Give it to an economist please.
The corrupt class ever how corrupt still defending each others backs whether PLP or FNM. This is why FOIA is needed but for some reason after Christie promised it we still seem to be stalled in its full implementation.
The Police still seem clueless to the Kingpin who is controlling the gun & ammo trade. They need to get undercover ops, and follow the clues to the top.
Ok, now you knocked down a home that seemed to be structurally intact, now what are you gonna do. We are a country in a housing crisis only held at bay by generational "pass me downs", yet instead of taking it seriously and punishing property owners for their dilapidated buildings left to rot, you display this as some type of crime strategy.
If property owners can't care for the buildings and leave them dilapidated they should get seized and retrofitted to be new public housing. Whether it is Bay St., Kemp Road, Cable Beach, or South Beach. Which is better than cutting down half of our remaining forest on the island when so much space is available.
When people are mad at you, a government official, a MP of all things, the last thing you should do is say it is funny. If I was on mobile I would just facepalm right now.
