@Bonefish. If we had real local government and we (Abaco) were allowed to keep a fixed percentage of the taxes we produce, we would have money for Hole in the Wall. As it is we send all of our money to Nassau then hold our hands out for the pittance they give us. It’s not democracy it’s a form of colonial communism where all the money Abaconians work for is distributed to others. It’s not going to change.
Another big issue is central government. Local government is an illusion. We have zero control over our own affairs. Colonial rule 2.0. As an Abaconian, I’ve been on the wrong end of the stick ever since 1973 when the Marsh Harbour boys tried to blow LOP up with a tub full of dynamite.
The reason the fishing industry isn’t better regulated is because the government doesn’t give a sheet. About anything. Except pillaging the public purse, flashy international travel and bros before ho’s Fifty years of failure.
The government will never get serious enough to take steps like the elimination of exporting conch. I’m sorry my grandkids are going to hear tales as opposed to actually eating conch. Thanks Majority Rule folks; you’ve done a bang up job for 50 years.
