Not sure you can blame Minnis on this one. It was whoever signed the initial agreement to give them all those breaks. Now if there are clauses that Albany should have done and didn't then yes blame Minnis as they should use that to say breech of contract and void the whole lot.

Umm whilst i agree with a lot of what you are saying about the PLP lets not pretend the FNM are all saints. They have plenty issues as well.

Yet again a party apologist (for either party), can not see how bad the situation is. If all true it shows blatant corruption. But because it was done with the help of the party this man supports its OK and we should look at the other party. More and more Bahamians are tired of both parties and their uselessness at helping this country. Maybe if Mr. Allen, and many others like him, put Bahamas first instead of his beloved PLP (or FNM for others) this country could move forward. Until then we will will meander from crisis to crisis getting closer and closer to collapse, whilst listening to apologists like Mr. Allen say but what about the other side. Useless.

And you don't spend $318 million on a new building if there is no importance to it.

Ssshhh. We all know that the problem is rampant corruption, but to show our pride we must never talk about it, as that would be bad mouthing Bahamas. Better to stick our head in the sand and pretend it doesn't happen then to admit we have a lot of work to do to fix this country.

If not mandatory at least say Government will not be responsible for rebuilding private dwellings should a hurricane hit. I know they don't do much now but they still help a little bit. This way everyone will know the risks they are taking if they decide not to get insurance. Sometimes they win, other times they will lose, but it is up to them.

I assume he is doing this as he intends to run in the next election.

Whilst i agree on some parts, i disagree on Government becoming landlords downtown. One of the issues downtown is that no one wants to be here as all the Government offices makes downtown too busy (parking for the registrar is next to impossible). Move the Government buildings out of downtown, and those that you don't need to visit can be moved to family islands to increase movement out of Nassau. Start with the small ones and watch it grow. One of the biggest issues is Government can't look after their buildings so they buy a building (normally to help out the owner who needs to sell it so they get over the top money) then run it into the ground and then have to rent from another landlord at top dollar (who is known to them). Anyway whatever they do something needs to change. Also to point out i Believe Ansbacher is owned by the Government.

Government has plenty of buildings they don't use which they could use. problem is they never maintain them and it ends up costing us more then if they entered into renting (Both Bain buildings, Churchill building, and many others). If they could maintain them i would agree they should use them, until then nope (though they should negotiate a better rent)

I don't like coalition governments, but would prefer where if you don't get 50% of the vote then people are able to put their second choice down until someone gets 50% .
