Surely dere ought to be existing Laws on people tieffing and people receiving etcetc.
Instead of politicians wasting hundreds of manhours crafting, debating yaddering by salaried govt persons seems more constructive is to first creating means ie more police vehicles, officers, more surveillance, investigations etc an start catching the culprits.

@Thisisours, go to the head of the class on your last para. Indeed the wealthy can turn out to be generous doners, to suitable causes and having pamper parties. Indeed which alternating govt of politicians would make the better decisions.

@bonefish.....above I said first before you ."..system needed to be scrapped and restarted wid international Appraisers..." ........and you saying Tyler Technologies ( as international) company let go and restarted . Sceeeeech. And yes these Tax reforms bin from downstairs Finco House and onwards to Nassau Court with challenges wid the 50k owner occupied exempltions massive paperwork and limited overworked staff.

Seems the entire Real Property Tax system needed to be scrapped and restarted wid international Appraisers to inspect every property. Plentiful stories with discreptancies on valuations, on expensive ones seems undervalued, some over valued, seems influenced by who they are, etc. Looking at over some 10,000 homes in subdivisions created by alternating govts. and populated by people leaving homes in older city needs to be examined for renters moving in which makes these homes commercial and RPT applied. RPT must apply to all these homes split up for rental efficiencies, garages converted etc unknown by RPT people owners not doing the Declaration of Real Property secret changes alternations, even those in shantytowns homes and businesses with extremely low cost rental situation enriching someone etcetc.. Apart from paying taxes, taxes, there should also be Tax Credits to lower RPT taxes for investors,, commercial developers to construct in certain areas for benefits the govt desires city planning growth for people ie low cost rentals units etcetc.

Who is the salaried MP for these Abaco areas ???

Tal, the long currupt road for decades have been taking advantage of these peopleHaitians, half Haitian, quarter, ,Bahamian, outside children, restavik children, with or without papers etc,, dere chillrens and we can all talk and talk anf insult, and swear, and go round an round and round whichinin ain't gon change dynamics and go on another decades.

Frankly, looking at countries like Japan with 8.46 million houses left empty, deserted in rural areas and selling cheap like $500, dollars seems inviting, Italy has been having house for €1, both Japan and Italy have conditions. They should be informed that even professionals in Nassau needed 83 acres of 150 homes to live in.

After looking at the the failures, $210. weekly wage, low income category earners high expensive country, where da Covid vaccines in Kreyol in shantytowns wid illegal migrants, chillrens by Education Minister must get schooling only fails to recognise children graduate and no papers, onlly inferior lands in flood zones affordable,corruption, beating around the bush, not ever one labour board complaint against wicked employer , false promises, renewal Work Permits until grandvhildren, files missing, no phones anseering, Church people absent, Communities leaders absent, no govt salaried MP ever named in any of these articles, no inhuman Human Trafficker and network caught, no Haitian officials have constructine notice of Haitian in distress, greasing, UN coming an going on and on. These people are there and solutions need to be sought by themselves in other countries.

Looking at the situation anyone affected would moving and contacting Japan to have a unified highly work ethics group of workers and families and chillrens to be better to reach da stars.

Atlantic Hurricane season poised to be above average wid 3 - 4 major Hurricanes expected. Season starts 1st June, 2021.

There should be more emphasis on teaching in Kreyol language the laws and of extreme dangers of building the unofficial uninspected building plans of structures that will endanger the lives of the occupants and others. Bizzare dat all these decades with all the legal supporters continuous assistance for decades,, top educated lawyers, govt area officials elected MP's, that the teaching and laws of the territory never bin seriously done or observed by thousands of people.

....er..Tribanon, you must have missed the 25, May Tribune article that Bastian appointed to nation's diplomatic role to South Africa.

Well I yinna along wid over 10,000 Bahamians did take our duties to express our votes national Referendum on gambling to voted No which was the winning side, but 25 or so Legislators overturned our democratic win and legalezed the the illegal numbers house gambling business.

Keeping this money losing Bahamasair continuing to be subsidized by taxpayers money squeezed out of other critically shortfalls areas like Nurses shortage, Nurses having to publictly protest for monies owed, money owing water suppliers affecting their business and other areas is terrible.

The subsidizing or intentionally diverting giving away taxpayers dollars into decades money losing Bahamasair in light of many other Bahamian Aircraft owners operators struggling for years to operate their private Bahamian Aircraft businesses....private sector airline operators paying staff, NIB benefits, paying VAT, paying fuel for aircraft with govt taxes, paying licence fees, paying office expenses wis VAT......and, and, and Govt wid its experts and wisdom strangling, choking, taking up customers to fill inefficient loads govt Bahamasair aircraft ...and Bahamian commercial local Airlines sector operators employing hundreds of Bahamians and then then taking their own airline businesses taxes .......to have put continuously in the worsest of times into certified history money losing Bahamasair. Invrstigations into this unfair competition willfully harming private sector local airlines needed.

Shocking to this nation what Peter Nygard and politicians information now surfacing in the US.
