How about when you return home after college but overlooked for a promotion only to give to a foreigner, who by the way will be paid more than you? What a total insult. Why come back? You have to leave your own home to be valued elsewhere.

As a Bahamian, I am appalled by Mr. Carey’s remarks in the Tribune and also his ignorant response above. He had the opportunity to clarify his statement but yet again, put his foot in his mouth. However, I am not surprised Mr. Carey rarely has tact and often lacks couth. With someone like that being in the top post at the Trust, it is only going to be an injustice for what has the potential to be a leading environmental organization in the country. I am not surprised that in a previous article printed in the Tribune, Mr. Carey declared that the Trust is in “desperate” need of funds. I guess his comments are those of desperation. Sad to say, with someone like him in the lead, the Trust is going to continue to fail and not raise the funds they need to do their work. I sit and wonder if the governing body of the Trust sees how much damage Mr. Carey is doing for the organization. Yes their needs to be a discussion about environmental protection and management and the long-term sustainability to protect these areas. However, Mr. Carey you cannot approach potential supporters with such insulting remarks. You will NEVER raise what is needed. You sir are doing the Trust and the country a disservice. What is the board doing? Where is Tourism? Remove this joker and your organization will flourish!
