I"m getting kind of tired of this topic. Just get the dang thing finished and up and running. At the end of the day, we haven't had a single tourist pass through its doors. Let's focus on getting some heads on beds!

What is Baha Mar without Izzy, but a tourist trap where losers go to find hookers or commit suicide? What the PM fails to realize is without Izzy, the idea of Baha Mar is dead. It's just an over priced hotel on a bad beach. There is no Baha Mar without Izzy.

Why do banks lend these fools money? These guys could hardly earn or manage 200K on their own, but now they are given 20 million, 150 million like it's nothing. Rude awakening is what we are in for.
The PM may win the battle and open the Resort, but he will have lost the war. His reputation is in tatters with his people and internationally. The sad part is I don't think he cares.
I don't mind all this. Just wish the government had kept its grubby fingers out of the pot, because it leaves a terrible impression of impropriety. Sure, the property has been sold. Great. But what have we as a nation sacrificed for the sale? We have a system of government that now appears completely corrupt, criminal, dictatorial and uncaring about what its citizens think. Where do we go from here?
It's amazing how positive and energetic Bahamians get when they are given 150 million dollars of borrowed funds. They become like the Energizer Bunny. When they have to earn the money, they becom quiet, angry and withdrawn. So, here we have an MP turning on like christmas tree lights, hitting the talk shows like a movie star. How can this not go terribly wrong! Earn the money. Break the stereotype that Bahamians are good at doing one thing -- using other people's money.
How about we don't rush to fix things but live without. What an absurd thought!! Rather than borrow 150 million, why not let people fix their things over time. It's not like it was great before the storm. Let The Bahamas rebuild itself and have people work free of charge (imagine that). Yes, The Bahamas, sooner or later, will have to come to the harsh truth that nobody wants to lend them a single red cent, because they are broke. Better to learn this harsh reality sooner rather than later.

Use the VAT money of course. It should be sitting there neatly waiting for an emergency and lowering the debt as promised.
