Folks are jumping to conclusions, there’s an ongoing investigation, the injuries to the child could have occurred under the Mother’s care. No one knows at this point
Doesn’t matter how many times they repeat these figures, they still don’t make any sense. Tell us again where these millions are going because its not for those stated. I did get a kick from “salaries… personnel, maintenance, utilities, depreciation” etc, millions in costs supposedly from the internal services, which would be what??? Where’s this depreciating equipment hiding? The computer navigational systems we’re supposedly providing? And to who is receiving these $$ millions in salaries to run these phantom centers, these ‘internal services” This might be something Davis &Co will have to show in a lawsuit and that ain’t going to happen!
Chester talks of the 'great deal' the Bahamas is extending to airlines in that their fees are 10% lower than those previously charged by the FAA, ie $56 to $61 per 100N miles. However the FAA charges $56 for enroute miles (over their land space) whereas the Bahamas is located in their Oceanic section and the fees top out at $26 per100N miles. So there's that. And what are they providing for their outrageous fees? Their airspace security, safety and navigational data are all provided by the FAA for a measly $80K that the Bahamas then charges millions. What's really interesting is their pledge that these millions in fees are set aside solely for the creation of a BANSA that is truly autonomous. Could Davis & Co finally be placed in a position to show and tell?
St Martin and St Thomas attract far less cruise visitors but they’ve always spent more money and without the kitschy ‘attractions’ proposed by Mr Maura and this government.
Nassau has always had issues attracting the sort of visitor intent on spending money here, willing to leave their ship to wade through our chock o block streets.
No number of gaudily clad dancers or steel drum bands can overcome the reports and perception of crime here, on one popular site we’re at level 78 vs St Martin at #28.
None of this is news, so why are we willing to let this government ignore an issue that sacrifices our quality of life? Our ability to capitalize on the benefits tourism can bring?
Municipal and county governments in other developed countries usually require measures to protect motorists when leaving a site for the day. This usually involves the use of 1” steel plates extending at least 12” from the edge of the excavation, reflective 4” tape on it’s edges, and a reflective sign warning of plates ahead. Likely there’s a law on the books here too, but we all know there’s neither the will to obey or enforce such laws.
Why is this government always aiming, blaming, waiting, (lying) and asking for handouts from other countries instead of doing the job for which they were elected to fulfil?? If only the people who elected these jokers would demand responsible governance…?!
