Who cares? Like the last paragraph explains, this does not involve ordinary Bahamians. In fact, we are warned to not even "seek" to become involved.

Glad somebody making money.

He says ""We are going to have to look at that to ensure we don't cause significant shocks to..."

Sir, you don't have to "look at" anything. You ARE the Min of Fin. You can make a regulation that no property tax bill be more than double what it was the previous year. Then it would take 3 years to reach 8-fold instead of immediate. That would give "the people" (who's "time" it supposedly is) time to catch up instead of the valuation system being given time.

Which is more important?
People? or
Valuation System?

You have the power to decide.

I can't believe i'm in agreement with Mr. Davis - but i think his points about needing more info are correct, and Flying Fred's point about the economy needing investment badly are correct also. MANY people in Grand Bahama are living in their cars.

Too bad they are only now waking up to this after losing govt - but better late than never.

Too bad they didn't run a bulldozer to open the road between Princess Towers and Princess Country Club. Why has that company bern allowed to leave that island with a permanent black eye? Mr. Davis ? It would be nice for the public to be given more info on that. Do they have Snapchat pics?

Why does the tone of this article - esp. the first three paragraphs - make it sound like this crisis is over?

I think the job fair was a good thing. A good idea by govt and it illuminated the problem more.

At the same time, if any thought it was demeaning - wait until they get a job. Employers know you have no options and so many of them treat employees like dirt. Im sure joeblow would not agree - based on his comment. It's bad on both sides - and education is a big part of the problem. Lacking on both sides.

There are so many good professionals out there who could do wonders in the classroom - but we have prehistoric teacher qualifications in their way. I guess u need a teaching certificate to know how to make that D+

The Privy Council's ruling against the death penalty is possibly being ignored by some people. Maybe they can fly over here and enforce their ruling.

Couldnt they just put like a $200 a month per person limit on transfers?

But, perhaps it's better to make the entire society suffer to prevent the actions of a few money launderers. Yeah. Sure.

Funny too, how there has NEVER been the arrest of one single money launderer in the last ten years. Do they even exist? Maybe we could make some laws where we have to do some other foolishness to protect against unicorns?

He says
"...people belong where they are born..."

He also says he was born in Haiti.

Is he smart enough to put 2 and 2 together?

This man appears to have no shame. Doesn't our Minister if Immigration have the power to revoke citizenship? An idea.

He says...
“I fight for rights in the Bahamas because having been born in Haiti,” he said, “having grown up in Haiti and having experienced human rights abuses there, I’m not going to allow my country, the Bahamas, to become a little Haiti.”

Does he not realize that his actions are exactly what will cause our country to become a Little Haiti?

The article then mentions some international ruling to ... "safeguard the lives and integrity of detainees held at Carmichael Detention Centre, including providing better hygienic conditions, medical treatment for detainees, reducing overcrowding, access to legal assistance, and allowing civil society organizations access..."

why not at fox hill????? Too many Bahamians there? Why do we never hear a damn word from this man about human rights abuses at Fox Hill? Does he shit in a bucket at his house?

Maybe we need a

bahamian lives matter

movement in this country - because it seems every life matters except ours.

We're not even allowed to process, package, and export salt in this country. Amazing.
