Fred Mitchel has a good point. The wealthy complain about everything under the the sun while using every resource and loophole possible to avoid paying their fair share of taxes in their home countries and here.

The amount of taxes in the Bahamas is a drop in the bucket to taxes these people are evading by leaving their home countries.

Dr. Minnis has the backbone of a jellyfish. Fred Mitchel is 100% correct. If they don't want to pay their fair share of taxes here, then they should go back to where they came from or elsewhere!

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Shut up already! These idiots are always trying to reinvent the wheel.

They want consultations with who about what?

REAL countries all around us have long done the research and moved forward with legalizing cannabis and making it profitable. What more these clowns need to clarify is one of the biggest mysteries of all time.

They need to immediately stop harassing tourists and locals for possession of personal use quantities of pot.

It is a well-known fact Haitians have been selling fraudulent birth certificates for decades. How will this be policed?

I hope these geniuses don't forget to factor in wage increases to keep pace with a simi-annual increase in NIB taxes!

Great ideas tourism minister DPM Cooper! But why enforce belated common sense rules with just Bay Street?

Are prostitutes, drug peddlers, vagrants, the mentally ill, and thieves, welcomed on the Cable Beach strip? How about the resort areas of Port Lucaya, Abaco, Eleuthera, and Exuma? Are these areas not just as important as Bay Street?

Also, why not deal with loud music which is another major nuisance that destroys the ambiance of Bay Street and the country at large for everybody? Noise pollution from passing vehicles in and around the capital is another important common sense issue that needs to be addressed with equal urgently!

A new Florida state law makes it illegal to play music or any audio loud enough to be heard from 25 feet or more away. The law also says audio should not be louder than necessary in areas near private residences, churches, schools, or hospitals.

It would be a great injustice and a wasted opportunity if DPM Cooper fails to deal with this vexing issue!

Why should we continue to allow a few ignorant, selfish, people to destroy the tranquility that tourists come to the "Islands" in search of?

The Attorney General, Cabinet, and or Parliament, should only be entitled to the same level of insurance coverage as citizens!

These people are all "employees" of the populous. As "STAFF", how is it that they get better insurance coverage than their "BOSS"?

This is insanity!

I've said it before and I will say it again. The only solution for Haiti is for the UN to put boots on the ground with the intention of imprisoning, physically removing, or decapitating the entire corrupt political and elite class of crooks that controls all the nefarious activity in Haiti.

This will never happen, so Haiti is a lost cause.

So it is really only going to be a Haitian maternity ward?

The new hospital was quoted at around $600 million years ago. How can Government now only guarantee $290 million in financing for New Providence's hospital?

Question. Is the Shot Spotter technology supposed to work as a deterrent against crime? If so, how?
