Unfortunately that has been the single most important tax revenue method as there is no income tax. Two points .1. Where do you get milk for 50 c gallon in the states because I have never seen it. 2. speaking as a family island resident the seems to be no price control and any duty reductions seem have little effect on the retail price.

Sunburst ???? When will Bahamians in positions of power realize that Bahamians and residents demand quality and Sunburst products are not. You can protect mediocrity for only so long. Look at the Bahamian chicken industry producing little birds laughingly called chickens, it failed but luckily Abaco seems to get the idea.

Hey Tal since when did we become communists, all this comrade stuff ?

Was it put out to bid ___________NO. How was he paid so quickly when retired teachers and other employees often wait months for gratuity or promotion raises. Of course this was crooked and the whole country included deluded PLP supporters are reaping the fallout.

Your political stooges who have placed this country on a political knife edge had no authority to pay over the odds to unqualified political devotees without any fair bidding how the hell can you defend them /

So for 1/8th of what they paid this political stooge they could have insured everything and been reimbursed the 31 million. Heads need to roll and this Ash guy must be ordered to provide detailed accounting of just how this money was spent. And still fools in our area believe in the PLP when they can see a few getting rich at their expense. Brain dead.

We already have Primary Health care which are the existing clinics. Why not centralize facilities in Nassau and purchase and operate a small number of medivac planes on some islands. It is a fact that none of these so called mini hospitals will be able do anything of substance and will still send people to Nassau. Its this refusal to accept reality and put on a show that is the downfall of this country.

What a total dickhead. I want a top of the line Escalade but I can't afford it so guess what I don't buy it. On Eleuthera huge amounts of money are being spent just preparing the land for construction of a so called mini hospital. Land purchased from a former PLP cabinet member. Why not modernize, repair, and update the existing clinic because at the end of the day if you can't staff other island clinics and areas of PMH how the hell will you staff let alone afford to operate a mini hospital. Surely the country cannot afford this 30 million project and would be better spent centralizing facilities in Nassau and making emergency transportation to Nassau more affordable.

Based on one of her excuses that revenue did not meet rental expenditure, I guess every Bahmian business not making a profit can negotiate a reduced business and VAT rate to help them out. A as for documentation, we all know that these crooked dealings are done under the table, word of mouth, threats etc.

I guess we will blame the foreigners for the next 30-40 years. Simple Mr Miller third world politics where you waste money on all sorts of worthless schemes such as expensive clinics that do not open (Exuma), exorbitant salaries for PLP hirings (Baltron Bethel) MP's that don't pay their electricity bills (Mr Leslie Miller), unsecured loans for certain people from BOB and not repaid and lastly the total inability to plan for the future .I think Christies was quite clever because if the new company failed he could blame them and if they succeeded he could have taken the credit. As for Chairman of water and sewerage maybe he would like to live in central Eleuthera which frequently goes for days on end with no water yet they have no problem billing for a lousy 4th world service. Lastly the PLP government borrowed so much money despite VAT and a raft of other tax rises and made so many political hirings that any new government has its hands tied. The PLP operated like a brain dead resident who buys a brand new $30,000 car when his roof is leaking, giving no thought to retraint, accountability and prioritizing his spending..
