I couldn't agree more. As a white Abaconian it is distressing how expensive rent is and life in general is........it doesn't matter who you are, Abaco is so expensive it's a wonder we don't have thousands living on the streets
The government needs to discuss everything with the private sector. Minnis is a doctor (and they say he's a good one). Advice from industry experts is never a bad idea.
Sounds fantastic.....for New Providence motorists. Perhaps the ministry should take some action on the dune road on Elbow Cay, Abaco, that was destroyed almost 19 years ago in hurricane Floyd. This was mentioned in James Albury's contribution to the budget debate. Nineteen years is a long time. Never mind the massive amount of tax dollars enjoyed by the government that is produced by Elbow Cay; that's a whole 'nother story.
Don't like the legislation that is associated with your business? Close down and enter a new industry. It's very simple. This is the one thing the government has suggested that makes sense. Now we need FOIA, equal rights for women, etc etc.....all the stuff they promised and more
They refuse to look at something like the legalization of cannabis which would increase revenue and create jobs; they're simply closed minded to that idea. Yet states in the US are scrambling to legalize now that they see the enormous tax created by it and that there is no accompanying doomsday crime wave. Never mind that The Bahamas doesn't have the infrastructure to support the necessary legislation, that's another point. The government's thinking is outdated, whether it's cannabis, women's rights or whatever, the government seems to be very much backward thinking. #sad

The exports of fisheries resources should have been looked into 20 or more years ago.
It really galls me when people speak of H "Pappa" Ingraham in glowing terms; if he was all that he would have done more; Pappa was pathetic.
