> Dr Michael Darville stressed the government has no plans to impose such taxes.

I understand. This is like the FOIA.

Phew, I can continue to drink my koolaid.

Where do I sign up to receive stiff penalty incentives?

It took six months to change signatories on an account. Dozens of emails rather than seeing the customers.

Also married women catch hell if their NIB and passport do not match their signature. I have experienced that in two separate banks.

Every expat has walked out.
Here is the deal: A university president raises funds.
He does not even need a doctorate. In the US, many are not doctors, just business people. Just bring the money. .
If he does not find the money, he will quit like the last one.

Last year it was so big they combined all groups to go together down the street.
Group smaller than a single junkanoo group.
Should not get any money from govt.

In the past I have considered home made goods as a source of income.

The packaging duty is 40 percent. The duty on commercial kitchen equipment is 45%

So it costs a lot to make baked goods at home or preserves as well. I gave up on it as I could not pay myself.

In the past you could see homemade pepper sauce sold in recycled beer bottles, but today's customer wants to see branded custom made bottles saying 'Mike Hot Sauce'.

In addition, the baker has to compete with the large scale processed food brands of cakes and cookies.

Occasionally someone tries selling cakes in the parking lot, but they rarely return.

The same happens with sewing the duty on fabric is 30%, sewing machine parts 45%. So we cannot compete with imported mass produced clothing.

Thing is, govt can produce nothing, ten years of bamsi and 2 years of Golden "Joke". There is nothing to show for it.

Whatever VAT they pay the farmers offset with what they collect.
The vat is not theirs to keep.
The letter is stupid.

I peep at people's groceries at the food store .
These eggs could not possibly be worse than Tampico, potato chips, koolaid, Debbie pies.

I say go buy from old fort bay store.

But no, you just want to make illogical accusations.

Why don't you show to those whom may concern all this lack of regulation.

People ain't stupid. I don't buy the rotten fruit and veg from super value.

Credit where credit is due.
Glad for the eggs.
Now they need a supplier for fruits and vegetables because they sell old rotten stuff.

Yes. Wash them.
Unwashed eggs last longer.
You can still buy $15 dollar eggs somewhere else. Do so.
