This article is right on the money. Any vessel coming into Bahamian waters should be heavily taxed, no, spear guns allowed. Stop and search should happen often in the closed crawfish season, and to check the daily fish catch is within the legal limit. Infractions should result in the confiscation of the boat. Let that word get out before our waters are overfished, polluted, and over crowded. Exceptions for sailors participating in sailing regattas such as Regattas In The Abacos, or Georgetown. Those guys pay their way usually.
Four hundred and ninety pensioners back on board, , Fill Up’s gravy train, we can ill afford. . So we’ll borrow more and raise more tax, . Gubmint workers can stay chill and relax, .

This report from one of the organs of the State seems designed mostly to obscure the truth and confuse the ignorant. Most every other country will report what the annual inflation rate is, simple to understand and compare to previous years. This reporting of a 1% change in the monthly inflation is practically meaningless, but as government employees they all probably just have to say what they have been told to say by their political spin master superiors. Sad sigh.
