We've moved on lol it's now AI

and its going to cost 5.7m but no mention of whether the Hospital or the Premier project will cover it...and people accept these excuses.

Tribune/Neil...So who is Mr. Flowers?
The article introduces this person and never speaks to who he is and why he matters.

it only implies that he is a reident but just jumps from the consulation to a Mr. Flowers. It should say "during the consultation a resident, Mr. Flowers..."

You miss the point. They have an app.

the app compares prices.

This will end up, magically, something AI ...inspectors something lower prices.

if fire is a concern then why after fires at potters and arawak cay no one has done a thing about it.

Yet they arent doing any of what you mention.

So half the time she is Ms. Pratt and the other half she is Ms. Seymour? is the article talking about two people?

Agree its a complete shift and I suspect you had political decision vs. a technical one and the latter lost. Actually i'd say it began when when they reduced the food rates to 5%. Halkitis and co were loudly against differing rates but that is gone.

you asked the question, got the answer i'm not sure what else anyone can do for you.
Information is out there to read, unless you think there is a massive conspiracy that every employee in the MOF or CBB or treasury or any agency hat lends the govt money is a part of.

Bahamasair is a loss making airline, WsC is a loss making corporation, many govt workers are on noncontributory pensions, PHA has millions in uncollected billings.

Where do you think the money comes from to to cover these costs? Part is from taxes the rest is borrowed. The largest % of govt revenue is VAT. I'm not sure what else to tell you.

Read the national budget actual expenditures. VAT is used the same way ever other dollar of govt revenue is. by law revenue by the treasurer is consolidated and paid out.
read articles 128 to 135 of the constitution.

It goes out in govt expenditure. the actual budget expenditures are grouped by the MOF and you can read them in the budget or from the CBB's analysis.

i.e. a bulk of it is govt salaries (teachers, nurses, police, doctors, fire, public sector workers), govt pensions, subsidies of SOEs (water, bahamas air, PHA), social services and other non-NIB welfare. then there rent etc. capital works blah blah blah.

VAT currently covers about 30-40% of that spending (about 1.4b of 3.3b give or take).
