yes, this will lead to a scarified landscape devoid of beauty in a country struggling with tourism. bear in mind that our gov't does not plant/replace trees. look at West Bay street. decades ago they cut down the casurinas due disease. nothing planted in their place and worst of all, left the dead stumps like some kind of memorial. WTF? The beauty of that drive destroyed til Sarkis came then they thanked him by stabbing him in the back when the chance arose.

Key is a PLP just like most of the FNM. so there is no difference, you have declared PLPs and disgruntled PLPs a.k.a FNMs...

and they say bahamians aren't xenophobic....

Socrates says...

the auditor general may as well stop auditing because his reports are getting no response. .. another example of the useless 3rd world style governments we have had for decades.. good on spending a.k.a wasting money but useless at collecting..

Socrates says...

This is one of, but not the only reason for VAT and other inevitable taxes yet to come. The f..king gov't fails to collect for some bizarre reason. It Carnival owed Port of Miami such sums, I'm pretty sure one or more of those big boats would have been held hostage until the bill was paid or the boat sold. What a useless bunch of slackers.. wonder who owns the lady Rosalind fleet and how does a Mosko get away owing over 100 grand?

Socrates says...

This BS about minority Report has to stop. The committee consists of 5 members. If 3 say XYZ is the findings of the committee, then that should be the end of it. Not to suggest that members of the committee who have a conflicting point of view should not be able to air it, but not as a separate Report. Have a news conference or use any if the other techniques they use when convenient to leak something. It's just utter BS to have two Reports all the time; one from government members that will always praise government, and one from opposition side of course criticizing, Any wonder then that the debt is $7.0bn and rising if this is how we investigate use of taxpayer money to learn from and avoid wastage and abuse in future?

Socrates says...

with this rabble and the PLP deadwood asking for another 5, seems to me the continuation of self-drive, intellectually bankrupt government is assured no matter who wins..

Socrates says...

Whats the motivation for this? If a person wants to vote, they will find the time to register. If they aren't bothered, then they may not register. As far as i know, its not mandatory to register or vote in the Bahamas so if people choose not too, so be it. WTF? Another scary initiative by government to force things on people.. slowly but surely heading toward totalitarian government.

Socrates says...

There is no doubt BPL will fail. governnent does this all the time - pretend to hand control to someone, then handcuff them with all manner of conditions and over rule anything they want to do to improve things...

this isn't rocket science. you tell them all franchises will expire 31 December 2017 and a single bus company comes into being 01 Jan 2018. you see any shitty hustling bus services in Miami, NY, London or any other worthwhile place? same thing for taxis. this every man owning his own car is BS. we need to get our act together in this country and stop this rush to the lowest possible standard for everything...

there is no vision in the Bahamas, just butt sucking, handout seeking paranha. nothing progressive about the country at all. always trailng the pack. every change of significance always follows some country, organization or agency putting a gun to our head. WTF?
