He's just catering to his anti-local government base - like Birdie above.
Local government means less power to the power hungry dictatorship that is the plp. all for me baby! That's their motto. Their followers and the general public can all suck eggs while they get super rich.
The sad thing is, even though they become super wealthy they can't spend the money locally because there would be too many questions.

How do they know the figure of 60%? Maybe it's because they know historically that 60% of their customers don't even get off the ship in port Nassau?

Tribune hasn't heard much from Birdie for a while so they printed this to get him/her re-ignited. It worked!

And all I see are people driving around with red plates. We must have close to 1,000 cars also handed out to middle managers in government service. Even top management in the private sector and financial centre don't get a company car. This is bonkers.

So you get a salary based on your position and job description but you also get a responsibility allowance on top of that, even though you were hired and paid to do exactly that job? Are we just making up shitte now in order rape the consolidated fund?

Not surprising at all. Nassau people are generally disgusting people. They leave trash everywhere they go. Our people are just pigs with other people's hair and clothes on. But most of those animals who left this litter probably can't read, so what's the point of complaining?
Papi's Lounge acknowledged that the both organized it and that they left the trash there for collection. If they don't send a team to collect and clean the beach then Government must fine them to the fullest extent of the law. very simple!!

Finally someone in Gov't with a stance on making improvements to one of our antiquated laws.

Pretty scary that she has a major role in politics and in our House for making laws. Don't know if she has children but I can only imagine what her response would be about child abuse if she doesn't.

Where is Mr. Woods getting his argument from? Outer space? Atlantis has been speaking about the environmental impact etc. NOT about advantages or disadvantages for Bahamians.

Considering a fine!?!?!?! Really?!?!?!? This should be automatic. We are not even close to becoming serious about our environment. Our message to all foreigners is... come shit up our environment - we don't care!
