you see those names from government side on this committee? you have any doubt what the report will say with or without the facts to back it up? give me a break....
this is how the gov't thanks those who pay their tax on time and in full... say its because the bill is too low and since you can pay, we'll need you to pay more to make up for those who don't pay. no problem with this as long as we see those thousands of properties that never paid, seized and put to auction...then those who can pay can buy and flip them to make up for the extra taxation... gov't and lawyers would make money too from fees and stamp duty...
This is all nice and good but is government at the same time going to aggressively reducing the wasteful spending of taxpayer $$$ like in the award of building contracts to persons who don't have insurance when the building burns down, or like the $25-30 million wasted at Bahamasair each year, or the better-than-private sector contracts they agree with the Unions, etc.?
To sum up, what this all means is these lousy f'ers weren't doing their jobs while faithfully collecting those large salaries and accumulating tenure for a fatter pension. Paid for doing nothing and now, as though they have discovered gravity or something, they talk about doing the obvious. F%*k me..,
Right hogfish.. this bunch are so intellectually dishonest. They did nothing to take credit for whatever reduction currently exists then versus now. Thank Iran and Iraq for pumping more oil and slowdowns in economies elsewhere. I guess next they'll claim they invented the internet or some other outrageous B.S.
hackers may have accessed the data but it became news when ICIJ posted it so i agree with Pinder, even if a long shot. we need to stop taking everything lying down.. Go Trump!
interesting how the same names, like Minister Gray, although the AG could be included too, keep coming up every time there is some controversy... wonder why?
this idea is BS. you can't get tourists in Freeport and now you want to approve another port? how many f -ing ports do we need in this country anyway? everytime they approve these types of projects it sounds like the second coming, then most do nothing to improve people's lives...
