Challenges only exist because we don't enforce any laws. Once enforced there won't be challenges, but as long as nothing is enforced (either through laziness or bribery) there will be no change.

So a bond of $100 million, $32.5 million raised from private equity and total spend is $136 million. What exactly is Verdant doing for the 37.5%? I assume the Turkish company is the knowledge in solar etc to get it going, but Verdant? Nice earner for some, especially if you don't have to put any money up

Ahh well done Inland Revenue and government. You have a law that makes doing business even harder, and instead of admitting that it is a silly law you double down. Congrats on being a part of the problems in Bahamas. Why anyone, who could chose elsewhere, would open a business here is beyond me.

March 22nd wouldn't work as that could be Easter which already is a holiday. PLP need to remind people about majority rule and independence and make them think PLP did this (not the Bahamian people who voted), as they hope people would then forget all the terrible decisions they have made (and a lot of them recent). If we are going to have a holiday make it at a period when there aren't many holidays and you can call it PLP day. Hell maybe make it the fourth Thursday in November as most of us already celebrate that day (or the Monday after Superbowl would be great too).

Ahh PLP the gift that keeps giving and thanks FNM for not trying to fix it

Maybe, just maybe, having the police enforce the traffic laws will make people drive with more sense. Every day i see Mutiple cars run red lights, make 3rd lanes. speed and much more, however i have never seen a police car pull anyone over in the last 4 years at least.

Expect nothing different from the Government, so not surprised.

*could

I fully agree that the Bahamas should make its own decisions and do what it thinks is best for it. Therefore i also see no wrong with what the US is doing (even if i disagree with a lot of what they are doing). They are not telling us to not have the Cubans, they are just saying if you do, the leaders (not all Bahamians) may have their visas revoked. So basically up to us whether we want to use Cubans.

The back end can take years to see, so how are they planning on paying for it in the immediate term. In addition where are the studies showing the savings. Mind you if the savings are going to be as great as he implies maybe there is no need to build a new hospital as there will be no one needing the beds. This is just an election ploy with no thought of how it will be financed other then we need to get your vote before this starts and then who cares.
