Will they "get you" if you run a red light?

Lol. This the same argument they push with everything. Just raise the price, we'll make *B*-illions possibly gazillions.

I wonder how much this revelation will cost us in loans and interest

"*leading an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) report to brand Bahamian road safety as “a significant public policy issue”*

Really? After 10 years of road wars they just discovered this?

"*National Junkanoo Committee (NJC) has announced that the Bahamas Junkanoo Festival will be split between December and late January, with the festival’s major evening events rescheduled to January 22–25.*"

Who's surprised? This entire saga was mismanaged and they simply ran out of calendar. As far as I can tell, the major "innovation" of the NJC is a 260 dollar ticket section. Another way to cement the 10minute best performance in Rawson square, dead parade elsewhere syndrome.

The proposed JCNP parade was a missed opportunity to experience junkanoo at a new location, minus all the layers, and witness something that was equally "junkanoo"

"*One parent, who spoke to The Tribune, said the decision showed a lack of concern for the children, claiming the focus appeared to be “more about money than students*"

It's a business. Without adequate funding it cant run. The article said "20" students were affected. That low count is likely the issue. The suggestion to have "*fundraisers*" and "*get organizational help*" are likewise "unhelpful". Theyd likely spend more in organizing efforts than they made.

The good news, of there is any, is the story isnt about teachers complaining about non payment or late payments over months, like the Grand Lucayan employees

I suspect what's being asked is, is there a holding company that "Arawak Port" pays operation "costs" l, previously known as "profits", to. I dont know. But this is a common setup that foreign entities use to understate profit.

"*The NJC said it clearly communicated from the outset that the group would not be recognised as the World Famous “Valley Boys” unless specific conditions were met.*"

This is fundamentally incorrect.

**The group should be recognized as the Valley Boys without doing a single additional thing**. Because they have been confirmed by the govt as such through sponsorship and legal participation for decades.

Asking them to ensure theyve put in missing documentation is another matter entirely. It is too bad that everything in the country is corrupted by politics

"*overwhelmed*"? 20,000 hits?

Everyyear they put more lipstick on a crumbling junkanoo product, not junkanoo itself, the way it's being presented...

"*Prime Minister Philip Davis has stressed that the bill was never intended to create a new legal pathway for undocumented migrants*"

This PLP administration has proven themselves to be untrustworthy in guarding the Bahamas and its resources.

**The problem for them is, all their actions to rush this bill through Parliament in the dark of daylight have belied their multiple stated intentions *outside* Parliament. The problem for us is their stated intentions *outside* Parliament mean diddley squat**
