it is actually a smart thing to do. introducing different vat rates might increase consumer prices, look what happened at the banks, they created service fees to soften their vat impact.
80% or more of their sales is on price controlled items, so the drop on duty reflects on the price and the business tax reduction may alleviate the price of other products
this is the quickest relief they could have provided at this time. A girl needs to eat ramen noodles.
as to focol, you know they will just have theri profits for lunch.
water and sewage charges more then bec for water as it is. privatised will be even more,
as for bahamasair, leave it there.
a few years ago, bahmas ferries was all over the tribune saying they would connect all the islands.
go to the website now, they no longer carry passengers to abaco, --suspended till further notice--, for the past two years they canceled trips left right and center.

how could you tell someone's nationality when they were driving in the night? how did you know they were on work permits. in fact, many of these fireigners have become citizens or permanent residents.
