The Government must use every resource to fight this. The man clearly has a stick in his.crack for illegals and has made it his life’s mission to frustrate law and order and process at every turn. Mind you he knows he doesn’t have a case but instead of using his talents to encourage the people to obey the law he looks for loopholes to help them to break it.
I too have been telling overseas clients NOT to send anything to The Bahamas by mail. '
I ordered a UK package in October, 2017 and did not get until May, 2018 and it was an important package. Also had another client send an envelope late January. The client waited until she had mailed it to tell me so I didn't have time to warn her. This is July and needless to say, it ain't reach yet!
Don’t know how this will work as anyone who does any type of business in thr Bahamas knows that the Real Property Tax Department is by far one of the most disorganized and beauratic of any Government Department!
You literally have thousands of accounts that are in arrears, foreign and Bahamian-owned property that is behind by hundreds of thousands of dollars, some because the assessments are questionable and have yet to be dealt with in a reasonable and fair manner and you are now going to take all that confusion and add it to a light bill? Wow! Who came up with this brilliant idea?
So if I’m challenging my assessment as a business owner and I’m already back and forth with with no end on sight trying to get it rectified, you’re now going to add my challenged or deep-in-arrears assessment to my light bill and make me pay it monthly or my light is turned off?
What if I’m renting and my landlord is behind on his real property taxes? If he doesn’t pay is my light turned off because my landlord is delinquent?
Lots of questions for an already confused and beaureatic process.
Yes Roberts was well within his rights to give the benefit and to take it back. I believe I read a statement from a Givernment official last week saying he did not break any Labour laws. I just give him wrong for seeming to paint all of his female cashiers in a bad light like ALL are juicing on the job. That was definitely in bad taste and should be retracted. As for offering any kind of education to grown-azz women past the age of 18 who CHOOSE to have sex - nah - Burrows needs to sit small. Condemn his poor choice of words but you don’t tell him to educate them. He’s their employer not their lover or parent.
He’s still being chewed up on social media. I’m sure by now he!s gotten the point.
But seriously, Miller should be in jail but the man clearly has no shame and probably won’t spend a day in prison even .after single-handedly (with the help of the crooked PLP) having stolen - yes I did say stolen - millions in taxpayers money to fund that big waste of space called Mario’s Entertainment Centre or whatever it’s called..
I guarantee that business never turned a profit from the start but he spent so much time bragging that he was doing it all in memory of his dead son that he just won’t admit its a dismal failure and and one very large but dead investment.
Mr Miller please take my advice and give it up. The Government is doing you a favor by selling it. You’ve gotten away with enough. There are persons in prison for stealing less. Please cut your losses, drop your pride and let it go.
I remember when I would read about U.S. advisories on crime and think that they were exaggerating or deliberately painting the country in a poor light since, in my mind, most of the crime was concentrated to over the hill. Either the powers that be did a very good job of keeping tourist-related crimes away from the press or the criminals are now getting so bold that no one can deny that there is an issue. Whatever the case, it’s very disturbing. Crime is killing the golden goose.
