Some oppose due to the location next to them. however a large number oppose as there has been no study shown how this location makes sense. Why not expand PMH and use the land there (using a multi storey car park and maybe Collins house). If the studies show that this is the best location then so be it. However they have not released the studies, just saying that it is the best and we should not think of anything else. i am surprised the letter writer is so quick to accept what they are told rather then ask for the evidence.

The Government would not earn those taxes. The landlord will price that into their rent. I understand what you are saying, however this is government giving up on their job. They have a whole maintenance department, if they don't do what they are meant to they should be fired. But of course that never happens. So us the taxpayers will have to pay. And the above way is twice, once in rent to the landlord and then secondly in keeping a maintenance department going who does nothing.

Dawes says...

Why don't they just admit that their plans are basically a cross your fingers and hope. There has been no maintenance, no planning for what is to come, no nothing. This has been done by successive boards and Governments
. just a bunch of highly paid people doing nothing and then claiming its not their fault. As always they are useless.

Don't question the Ministers. Remember if you build it they will come.

Dawes says...

Chances are someone from the security commission went to get a loan from them and then realized. And i think you are right on your other point they should keep all files for 7 years. If destroyed they should have it electronically.

Dawes says...

I think some of the comments are missing what the MP said. He did not say we should not recognize Palestine. He said that as our largest trading partner has not we should at least have had a discussion on whether we should recognize them. AS it was someone made a decision and decided that's it, after no discussion in Parliament. But hey i forget we are never meant to question the government they are always right

Dawes says...

See stop questioning them. They have our best interests at heart. And for our best interest them being able to go to the US for medical care is vitally important. That way they can come back and tell us more about what we will have.

Dawes says...

Just do like the politicians do and go to the US for medical care, of course you would have to pay for it, but you are already doing that for them

On Remove VAT from all medical

Is an extra 2-6 % of interest worth the extra jobs. At least if it is Built by Bahamians then most of that money will initially be spent here. If paid to the Chinese it will be gone. But at the same time maybe the Chinese will not have to obey the minimum wage rule so the $290 million will be $400 million with non Chinese workers. All this can be known if Government was willing to allow us. But they won't so people just need to accept the $290 million loan at 2% for 20 years and the Chinese workers to build it. Stop questioning Government and just marvel at their brilliance.
