It's called politics and it's rather hilarious, if not downright ridiculous. There is also the issue of the recent paving of the road from The Abaco Highway out to the Albury's Ferry North (aka Red Bay) Terminal for the express purpose of ferrying Baker's Bay employees to and from the Abaco mainland and Bakers Bay, Great Guana Cay. We understand this expense was borne by The People, as well as approximately 1000 feet of fresh black top on the main highway, along with black top verges on either side, before and after the exit to The Red Bay/Albury's Ferry road, probably also out of the Public Purse.
Since the inception of the use of this North Ferry port, I believe last year, or the year before, the driving public has had to suffer the furious increase of un-policed speeding traffic of 'the workers' racing each other along the highway to 'catch their ferry' and 'get home', particularly during morning and evening rush hours . Repeated complaints to police and local officials have, apparently, fallen on deaf ears. What else is new?
Meanwhile, the refurbishing of The Stink Pond portion of the highway, just south of The Albury's Ferry North Terminal has come to a stand still, for some inexplicable reason, leaving this other portion of the highway sitting in a continued dangerous state of disrepair...
So to celebrate the ridiculous wastage of The People's money on this case, which ended as we suspected it would, The PM takes his wife and Goodness knows how many others for an overnight wine and dine in Florida!
