Said it before, next time the country asks for help don't bother. Not worth the hassle. Let the Government deal with it. Sure it will take a lot longer to come but hey at least you won't have to listen to all this.

It is the new way of arguing. Instead of showing where you think the person is wrong you insult, apparently that will make you right

Isn't it obvious, once the right deals have been struck this will get the go ahead. There are no planning laws over here, just obstacles that need deals arranged for the projects to go ahead.

* known Bahamian investment overseas. Actual is a lot more.

I strongly recommend all the NGO's to just stop and leave it up to the Govt social services to deal with. If the Government has information on illegal items then take action. If all they do is talk but no action then chances are nothing illegal happened. But what's the point in volunteering and helping (and donating as a large amount of the money in the food task force was donated) if you just get these sort of messages put out. Leave it to Government going forward as they are always able to do the right thing without wasting money.

The damage PLP did to BEC in the early 2000 needs to be looked at. That was when BEC went form making money to being a loss making enterprise. It has never recovered since then.

This has been going on for months if not years. This week they made it even worse. Thought the new law was you couldn't clear land without an EIA. So how is this happeneing?

Thats the cost for driving a car. Now add in the increase in food and anything else that companies will charge due to their increased costs. And then the increase in BPL as well. Hopefully won't be too bad but it could be

What risk is Goldman taking? None, so this doesn't say anything about investor wanting to reduce exposure to our Govt. If we fail to pay they get $239 million in treasury bonds. So they may be thinking that we will fail. Or the amount in fees we are paying them is more then interest they would have earned on cash so its a win for them. Either way they will win.

Theres not much the Govt can do as things have gotten worse at BPL. If they don't allow the increase then BPL will need much more money which means Govt will need to tax more. If they do then Bahamians will be in uproar. But no one will blame the actual people responsible. Those in power for the last 25 years who took BPL from being a money making entity to a massive cash loss. And many of those people are in charge now so i don't hold out much hope of anything correct being done.
