It is time to free Free Port!!! Remove all restrictions to US and Canadian persons and companies moving there for comercial purposes. No work permits required. No duty. No BIA approvals. The Government would still make a killing from stamp tax, VAT and company incorporation fees. If this is done, Free Port real estate would pop overnight. In ten years, it could become another NYC with skyscrapers etc. Nassau residents would flock there due to its booming economy and Nassau would become less over populated. The US govwrnment would start investing in The Bahamas again. Only sector reserved strictly for Bahamians should be the commercial fishing sector. We would still have the rest of The Bahamas all to ourselves. We have no choice. We are bankrupt! Time to be innovative. Time to put The Bahamas on the map again. It is time to free Free Port or die a slow death of financial stagnation and ruin.
So many no brainers: 1. National lottery scratch cards. Done. 2. Legalize Marijuana and prostitution/strip clubs. Done. 3. Completely open Free Port to American companies and persons. No work permit required. Done.
Everyone is killing us because of sex tourism. Jamaica, Dominican Republic and now Cuba. We want to attract high rollers and high rollers like girls. Either we become more sexy or our tourism product will diminish.
Yes. We need radical changes to stimulate our economy: 1. Legalize marijuana right away; 2. Open sex tourism type resorts... etc. Our tourism product is stale and boring. We need to spice things up completely!
I must say I am disappointed with the FNM budget disclosure. I voted for change and this seems like more of the same old bag of tricks: borrow the country into the ground, nobody goes to jail, nobody is named, no real information or details are released. Heck no!!!! Things got to change. This is the people's time. Junk bond status is all this borrowing will achieve. No creativity. Nothing fresh. Who made the 30 million for tje sidewalks? Who mad the ten million for NHI consultation? We want names!!!!
I say bring in the English secret service and get this country sorted out the way the English sorted out Turks and Caicos and Michael Misick. That is the only way forward. With corruption this deep we must burn the house down and start from scratch. There is no point the Bahamas doing anything, if its public service is thiefing every dime left on the counter top.
I think it will become clearer and clearer as more information is uncovered that the PLP was running a sham government. Their entire five year term was one big money laundering scheme - laundering public funds into private accounts. Something must be done by the FNM to ensure another sham government can never rule this country again as their private piggy bank.
If someone holds a brothel in your rental, you, as landlord, are responsible. These idiots at MOT need to quit ducking responsibility and heads should roll. The biggest loser in this mess will be the Bahamas, hands down.

Man. Seems like the Bahamas was being run by a bunch or thugs and gangsters under the PLP. No wonder crime was out of control.
