And no cuts aside the Breakfast and lunch buffet in the house.

The requirement for private vessels Bahamian and foreign to clear out of the Bahamas was waived during the days of the Colonial Government by whichever office was responsible for maritime affairs/rules. Commercial vessels are, and have always been required to clear in and out. All vessels are of course required to clear in.
A few years ago, (3-5) the waiver issued for the requirement was rescinded/removed for Bahamian vessels exiting only. If a Bahamian vessel returned without the exit slip, the fine was up to $10k. Foreign vessels up until this notice were not required to clear out.
The Comptroller reportedly said there was no charge for Foreign vessels.
I do know of one foreign vessel charged $500 to clear out, and it has usually cost around $100-120 for a Bahamian vessel to clear out over the last 3-5 years, depending on the number of souls on board (departure tax)
These guys are bona fides fatuis.

It was estimated (NGO assessment) that G.B. and Abaco would need one million construction man hours to rebuild both.
Do the math.
With an over estimated number of decent contractors on hand you're looking at 8 years.
With what we have, no doubt longer.

Typical Rule by Fiat. Rather than let the police "police" the beaches and enforce the rules no matter how nonsensical some of them are, he in effect overrules himself. (his own rules)
Classic Micromanagement coupled with indecision and or arbitrary behavior.

The true measure of a man is not how he functions or presents in good times, but how he bears up and deports himself at times of stress.
History will render that verdict, based upon what ever is left of the Bahamas once he comes down off his high horse.

Since the St.Georges and Haywards hung the closed for business sign, and Hutchinson can't be found.
We need Dr Soon-Shiong to replace them, not be subjugate to them.

Childish arguments.
With zero tourism revenue the only sensible thing government could have done differently
would be cutting civil servant salaries in half while they were shut down.
Sure as hell not something the PLP would have considered. Nor did the FNM have the guts to do so.
It was what the private sector did do, had to do, very unfortunate for those sent to N.I.B. to collect their 50% salary for staying home.
Some companies opted to handle the stay at home salary themselves, worries that employees could wait weeks (which turned into 3 months plus for some) Some have yet to receive a dime from THEIR contributions. Many have found their employers have defrauded them. They should be named and shamed.
No, if elected the thieving will continue right to the bottom of the treasury cookie jar.
they all do it. Overtly or otherwise.

Insufficient piling size, bridge too low, Ignoring the engineering report,
asphalt floated away, I'd love to see the shingle trail on that one.

D'Arville got his shingles, he is a major Government Landlord now right?
Perpetual shingles for life!

More than likely, there is a shortage of housing for their people, as well as all of Abaco.
