Our MP's base salaries are truly low. An increase is warranted and justified. They've not had a raise for over 20 years. Senators receive only $12,500. So, yes they warrant an increase. But so do our nurses. And our police reserves haven't had a raise in their stipend for nearly 40 years. A reserve constable receives a little over $5 an hour and they put themselves in harms way. More money to be had flippin burgers at Wendy's.
EXUMA..Bimini airport has been closed to international flights for two weeks. Only foreign private planes or charters can fly here. Why? The fire engine is inadequate. So SILVER airlines stopped flying. Tourists were stranded and those with reservations in the Hilton and other hotels cannot arrive. Bimini and Exuma same issues. But, the Bimini community doesnt have any fire engine either. Should a house catch abalze good night....no fire fighting equipment in Bimini.
