Uh ... yes, if you read my comment, I said it was unknown if Levy would pay the full freight to purchase this land. It pays to read before posting. Earlier, you said Levy et all did not have enough $$ to buy a pizza ... then you admit they have serious $$ behind them. Hah, you gettin’ dizzy much from all dat spinnin’?

Regardless, if you think that property is of “marginal value,” even without an active plan approval, bro, I’d like a hit off whatever you’re smoking.

I respectfully disagree ... the Leon Levy Foundation has serious money and has invested heavily in Central Eleuthera, as anybody who has had the pleasure of visiting the Leon Levy Preserve would note. It has been a *wonderful* addition to the island, and they hire locals. The question is how much they’d be willing to pony up at Lighthouse Point. The other organizations you mention may be all wind and no $$, but not so with the Levy group.

Becks is right. It’s a done deal. And those here who view everything through a political lens should note that PLP stalwart Tommy Sands, whose family operates the largest business enterprise in South Eleuthera, has weighed in on the side of the Disney effort, alongside the FNM efforts of Dr. Minnis and MP Hank Johnson, the FNM who reps Central and South Eleuthera. If *both* parties’ kingpins are backing it, then it’s a done deal.

Like most, I remain fascinated by this story. But, truth told, John Marquis was always a blowhard and that book was bloody awful. Still wishing I could get a refund.

Tommy Sands is staunch PLP, a good guy and an honest, educated man, and with his family runs the largest business operation south of Governor’s Harbour. Hank Johnson, the MP for Central and South Eleuthera, is staunch FNM. If they are both backing Minnis on the Disney plan, it is a done deal.

It is shocking that The Nassau Tribune did not even bother to cover the public meeting on this issue on Eleuthera last night. That says a LOT about how little anybody in Nassau cares about the Out Islands. It’s not just the government ... the media does not care, either. They are all too busy sitting in their air conditioned office, playing with their iPhones. SHAME on The Tribune. SHAME.

You are fibbing again ... when you find yourself in a hole, sir, you should stop digging.

Mary said cruise ships routinely dump their trash at sea. They do not. Go back and read it. Bilge water is not the same as garbage. Most people with an IQ above 75 know that. And the incident you refer to happened off the coast of England 5 years ago.

And, I repeat: “all* ships pollute. Especially those freighters that supply our islands daily. Shall we ban them all? You have not been able to answer that one.

You also failed to note that the ship in question never operated in the Bahamas. There are also ships polluting in Hong Kong. Let’s blame them, too!

I did not create any “fairy tales” ... that was *you*. I am not a Disney fan, but I believe in truth, not lies, and if we followed your “logic” we would need to ban * all* shipping. Even outboard motors pollute the waters.

That had to do with polluted bilge water, not dumping trash in the ocean. Commercial shipping vessels commit similar acts. It is bad, but they were *not* dumping garbage and trash in the ocean as she said. Don’t try to snow people with a selective use of a quote from a news story, dude. That’s as bad as a lie.

@MaryMack ... I respect your opinion and your right to oppose this project. But the idea that cruise ships dump their trash at sea is absurd. They don’t. Those ships are equipped with trash compactors and the trash is disposed of ashore ... just as yours is. It’s fine to oppose this, but it’s wrong to spread info that is simply a lie.
