I know plenty of Black Bahamians who are now regarded as pillars of the community who got their financial leg up with drug money. They to have major economic advantages over whites and blacks

Really sick of this racism stuff. I am white, I dislike some black people not because of their color but their personality, the same goes for white folks. Get over it and remember some of the biggest oppressors of the black man were their own people whether they be tribal chiefs, or your own politicians. Racism is often defined by color because that is easy to identify but racism includes denying access to employment due to political beliefs, religious beliefs, culture and so on. Didn't see these same people complaining making an issue when Nassau airport was called the Sir lyden Pindling airport despite his large bank accounts and other dubious acts.

There is no debate it was obviously choice b. However lets not forget the raft of other sneaky increases. Environmental tax translates into put on the dump as usual. Customs handling tax $10 -why am I paying a broker then ? VAT charged on duty/customs handling-double taxation.
The list goes on and on and what do we have to show for it------------Nothing. Maybe it might have been wise to use some of the VAT income to modernize the power generating equipment,Hospital, erratic water supply on Eleuthera and fix roads.

Who let this crook out of the ward. Get him back to the funny farm.

The PLP have gone Mr Lockheart, arrogant I am special is no longer the order of the day. Try this in Miami airport and you will be in hancuffs in a moment.

Is he a real Bishop or self appointed title. Just because he screeches his way through a Sunday sermon doesn't mean he know diddly squat about pot.

Has always been a disgrace from the stealing of magazines to the incredibly long delivery times ,if you get it at all.

Exuma hosts 4 - 500 bats over the wihter period. These boaters come diwn laden with beer and food items. In the daytime they get in their Zodiacs and fish the area cleanmiles in either direction. They put their garbage free of charge on the dock and get free water, so why shouldn't they pay a small daily hook tax. Hypothetically $2.00 X 400= $800 X 30 days = $24000.00. Thats less than one beer a day.

How about enforcing taxation on all the winter resident houses that rent out all year. How about aanchor fee for all the foreign boats in Exuma, increase the sin tax .

Not enough gas even mixed with air to cause an engine to exploded .Most probable cause was fuel vapours under deck assuming it had under desk fuel tanks. All boats with internal gas tanks should be cleared out by a fan before starting engines in case there is a leaf. Tragedy.
