@tribanon, What a load of codswallop!
However...
Enforcing laws that protect animals will also protect the public.
Responsible pet ownership should be the LAW.

People don't mind paying taxes if they are Fair, and they get some sort of Value from the tax payments.

The taxes here are not fair, the poor pay same percentage as the rich, more in many cases. Also the tax revenues go to pay for our mostly useless government workers, the whole system needs an overhaul.
Covid showed us the services that are ineffective or stagnating, and the ones we Do Not Need at all.

Making people pay existing their property tax (all people including Government workers) A government lottery, and getting rid of web shops would be a good start.

Lowest rates possible - - Flights @ $1,500,00 x 100 = $150,000.00
Rooms at $200.00 per night 5 days = $200,000.00.
+ food & incidentals @ $150.00 per day 5 days = $75,000.00 That's already $425,000.00.
Not including limos & transportation, formal dinners entertaining guests or other incidentals it is most likely double that.

We need to get all these airport projects out of the governments hands, they just stagnate.
For the sake of all of our futures, we need airports that are up to date and safe!

The government have always seemed to try and dumb-down society in The Bahamas. It benefits them.

There are so many FREE online schools, parents please do a Google search and you will find plenty of them.

We need to get more oversea teachers to come and work here, maybe on three year contracts. And more male teachers without the Bahamian cultural baggage, expose kids to other ways of thinking to change society for the better.

Condolences to all concerned.
This could be a possible 'suicide by cop' situation too, sadly it happens quite a lot.

Disgusted.

Bahamian politicians are either-
grossly incompetent,
stupid,
liars,
or
corrupt,
or all of the above!

Clearly they do not VALUE Bahamian entrepreneurs .

I had the misfortune to see the video, it was 'a murderous attack on a woman and child'. And where many of the bystanders witnessed the attempted murder, but clearly didn't try to help and many seemed almost nonchalant and de-synthesized to what was happening right in front of them.
To see that behavior from our fellow humans was just as unsettling as seeing as the murder, that 'indifference' from some in the crowd was unforgivable. What Have We Bahamians Become!?
The Potcakes were more visibly distressed than 'some' of the human's that were passing-by the scene like it happens all the time.

It is a public health issue it is not right that for private entities to have to suffer the costs for something that The Bahamas Ministry of Health should be doing and is being PAID to do that job.

Just like after Hurricanes, the private sector does the governments work for them, the government takes all the credit.

We pay civil Servants for decades to do their jobs, but when it comes down to it, corporate Bahamas has to bail out our wutlass gub'ment. Pathetic.

The government should be doing free testing and giving people at home test kits, so they can test at their convenience.
