What we really need is a government that is interested in investing in The Bahamas and Bahamians. Until then you can raise all the taxes you want and nothing will change.
What really is unconscionable is how little the Bahamas makes off the cruise ship industry. Thanks to Airbnb Bahamians can finally participate in the tourist economy.
The Bahamian government maintains nothing. Here in Exuma we have a 15 million dollar hospital, it’s not used as a hospital and not maintained. The a/c hasn’t worked in almost a year. If in the future they decide to use it as a hospital they will have to spend millions doing repairs. Living on a family island you get to see up close how they waste our money.
Maybe BPL is not the answer. We need leaders with vision who are willing to make bold decisions. If someone is not capable of doing the job they need to be replaced.
Exuma doesn’t need a 65 million dollar airport. Just like we didn’t need a 15 million dollar mini hospital. Two thirds of the mini hospital is never used, Probably will be the same for the airport.

Does anyone think it’s a good idea for the government to borrow money to pay for water? It appears RO water is too expensive for us.

Maybe if they were power by solar we might be able to afford the water they make. RO water is expensive especially when 50% leaks out the pipes.
