Are you serious???????????? This sounds like US Medicare/Obamacare where the minority (non-PMH users) pays for the majority (Haitian PMH users) .......... Most Bahamians use private doctors now ........... so what is the benefit for them??????????
Some Bahamian entrepreneurs benefited directly .................... more benefited indirectly .............. a little foreign exchange (carnival tourists) was injected ................ lots of non-Bahamian goods and services were utilized ................. it was a hell of a party ............. Give BJC organizers B+........... contribution to Bahamian culture??????????????? ................. minimal
Well spoken as a former Director of Culture ............... the BJC framers made a good effort to incorporate aspects of Bahamian "culture" ............ but there is a challenge when you use the concept of carnival ............ as the world has a mindset of what to expect based on Brazil, New Orleans and Trinidad ..................... just look at the variety of carnivals in Europe
The FNM should call for the Speaker to resign .............. his ruling was improper and ludicrous ............... they have every reason to bang on the tables infinitum
But it does show that the fnm/pac Chairman was caught unprepared by this ruling ..... blind Speaker leading the blind PAC .................... DPM and AG blind-sided all of them
