I think that perhaps Minnis found out some things about Chipman's character and his past and his reasons for sliding into a political gain vein that needed to be handled with immediacy - which is good. However as is Chipman, (Ping and all others) Minnis is in the seat of power but being a relative neophyte he can be either confused or manipulated or subject to both!
There are many businesses that do not import and would not receive any benefit from the removal of customs tarrifs. These businesses would just receive another removal of already sparse receipts without being able to make up the loss through any other means.
So many contributions refer to Aragonite - but nobody does any homework on the subject. It is not rare and is found almost everywhere - perhaps the oolites are not as high quality as here, but costs defer the ongoing profitability of keeping the aragonite mining sustained. No aragonite can be sent to the U.S. on anything but a U.S. registered vessel (The Jones Act 1920). Then it is further taxed from their side. Unless a specialist use is intended for import, the main sources of aragonite to be used will be their own locally obtained product. This act strangled Puerto Rico and acts as a disincentive for companies importing to the U.S. if there is little to no profit being realised. Because of this, Ocean Cay is being re utilised as a destination rather than a site of mining and production - there is no sustainable money in it!
There is no actual 'Caribbean' side of Eleuthera - the Caribbean is a thousand miles South! The East side of Eleuthera is the Atlantic Side and the West at that point is The Bight of Eleuthera. We are lucky that persons without proper geographical recognition don't call it 'The North Sea'!
I wonder if I can get money back for being paid up member of both major political parties, or would I have to have paid up NIB proof, paid up business licence, proof, property tax and VAT as well as a current driver's licence and passport and other proof of identity and certificates of compliance.
