On either side of the S.C. Bootle Highway leading North out of Marsh Harbour structures have been springing up at an unimpeded rate since the rebuilding of the Dorian decimated portions of Abaco. The structures are clearly visible from the highway for all officials to see and they go far back into the bush. Many roads have been pushed through the bush and scrub leading to the new shanty towns, creating a very dangerous situation on the highway where vehicles stop at will to drop off/pick up passengers or speed out of the dirt tracks onto the highway into the path of vehicles travelling the highway. The shanty dwellers also bicycle up and down the unlit highway and walk at the side of or on the road itself, often barely visible to motorists in the early morning or evening sun,
Why in the name of God did the former Government go to such lengths and expense to clear what was left of the Mudd and The Pigeon Peas after Dorian, only to watch new such areas redevelop? Only a politician could possibly know the answer to that. Let's see if .M.P. Cornish can put his money where his mouth is. Someone has to and not just pay lip service to the situation.
Other than calling a, say, once a week purchase of a lottery ticket an addiction and desperation, your statement makes good sense! Mr. McCartney is spot on vis-a-vis a state lottery versus gambling houses, or even in conjunction with them, but the politicians are all too deeply indebted to the big numbers boys to want to cross them.. There is also the problem of corruption in all things run by The Bahamas Government that obviously would not be solved by the appointment of a "board" 🤣 The numbers houses should all be closed yesterday! They are a drain on the economy and lead to the destruction of many Bahamian families,
"It's the civil unrest and violence to come that our corrupt and elitist political ruling class fear the most." Assuming they are actually that astute!
