A move guaranteed to send the Bahamas the way of Venezuela.
Each and every civil servant needs to back up and consider the damage they do when they propagate bad ideas and flawed policies.
everything you do causes cost increases, take for example your "raids" in which you find corned beef over prices according to your edicts.
While the merchandise is confiscated and fines are paid the write off/expense goes to the bottom line of the cost of doing business, and will be made up elsewhere on other products/services.
Just as theft, high cost utilities, business license fees, insurances and all other cost do.
You are counter productive and obsolete, and maybe you know it, so therefore make moves to further justify your existence and expand your power.
Which is incidentally exactly what BREXIT was all about, ditching overburdensome bureaucrats creating more laws and rules than anyone could possibly afford.

Figure maybe a $1 million botched job on the ground after the kickbacks?
Maybe.

Partially due to the fact that the "Churchill building" wants to have a finger in every approval!
Politically afflicted processes from the first clerk on up, all scared to approve within the scope of their authority according to law.
90% of us buy into the "political favor channel" as opposed to the actual procedure.

Time to seriously move away from the old tried but not true leadership we seems afflicted with,
from Pindling to Ingraham to Christie, and these two wanna-be's.
David cameron does the honorable thing when losing the British referendum, Christie has no honor or clue, Ingraham sulked away twice on losing two elections,
These two represent the existing mindset, seem intent on spreading dissent for their own aims, and those of the existing special interests, in the face of serious long standing failures by all parties.

crooked no good "i'll be at the front of the line" Miller.
Where does this guy get the idea he can stand on any soap box
and espouse anything aside his own corruption?
Shameless.
Rewarding delinquency (power bills, NIB, Property tax, Business license fees, etc etc)
leaving honest bill payers honoring their obligations to fund their idiocy.
We need a bigger prison and a national day of reckoning on them all!

Miller will be at the top of the list!

Authority converted to personal power (at every level) begets all powerful civil servants, political appointees and bureaucrats stepping well beyond their scope of authority, ever seeking more power.
Self justification tied to Job security no matter the cost or destructive effects.

I wonder if this might not be tied to the No Vote....after all, Non-compliance with U.N. resolutions, WTO compliances, EU-EPA, Carib Can, oecd, imf are not to be backed out of as it will have ramifications.

Amazing how we can stand on our high horse and demand some foreign entity come in and fix our long standing failure to maintain and upgrade and most importantly, plan.
We may have had the potential to stand tall with the Superpowers Bran, but we blew that one decades ago and all by ourselves.

Mr. Mitchell and his Government should have made plain from the outset that we committed to the U.N. resolution on Womens Rights, which is indeed what the referendum was about:
By hiding that reality you made space for chauvinism, paranoia, homophobia, and every other demon that arose!
