guarantee this will be abused to the max as more days off work. we need to be careful following all these 1st world and UN driven initiatives. most of those countries have high taxes to fund these things.. do we want that?
the election date mystery is indeed nonsense. running a country is serious business and it shouldn't be like guessing the winning lotto numbers. if you do your job and govern responsibly, why do you have to guess the best date to have an election? elections should also be held on Saturday or Sunday. why all that lost productivity and cost to Employers just to vote?
i mean it seem to me money might be better spent on parking and controlling planes.. every holiday i travel the pilot apologizing for flying round in circles then while we waiting after landing to park, saying they waiting for a gate.
despite all the banter about how great things are, reality appears to be sonething different...defence force boats need repair, fire trucks not working, bahamasair planes need parts bpl renting generators, no licence plates and the list goes on. seems we may be hanging our hat too high.
"competition is the best price control" they shoukd make this man Prime Minister. Socialism is a failure as an economic policy but we are stuck with this idea that government has to control everythimg.
its shocking how govt entities, none of which are profitable, keep finding money for generous contracts, some egregiously so. i hope people know where that money will come from, us, the taxpayers
this will maintain our position in the top 10 when it comes to cost of living. the amazing thing is bahamians, who mostly flying bahamasair, already paying taxes in government support then they have to buy the tickets so definitely, we have the highest travel cost anywhere in the world for distance traveled.
its an abomination the way commercial development is allowed anywhere. everythumg seems to be negotiable. someone should apply for a space in Skyline lake or Prospect ridge on the lake.
i have to agree with "screwed bahamian". we have a party system. you were voted in under a particular party banner. if yiu want to switch, lets vote again. bye election. you shouldn't be allowed to take a vote intended to sipport one party and attach it as support for another that the voter never chose.
