I will not vote for you ever again. You are a huge disappointment to so many who thought you would be a good leader. You were not. Please go away and let someone else run for Kilarney.
Haha, CCA doesn't protect their own people, much less their Bahamian employees. Who are they kidding?
I'd put more faith in Sarkis protecting workers, not CCA. They are in survival mode and will say and do anything to avoid paying up for their disgusting fraudulent behavior and stealing Baha Mar from Sarkis. Time to pay up!
The only remaining question is if the Bahamas Supreme Court will uphold the NY judgment. Will they do so quickly or risk a long drawn out affair -- during which more unflattering infomration might emerge.
I hope Mr. Roberts is looking to trading directlly with Mexico for fresh produce and produce and toher comestibles. This will be essential if Mr. Trump levies the 25% tariffs as he's threatened. This will increase food costs by 26% to consumers -- and even more so by the time the goods reach the Bahamas.
A 6% reduction in VAT will be little more than lip service by our government if food prices incread by 25% in the US. Bahamians will still see food prices go up by at least 20%.
Many of these junior doctors' medical education was paid for by Bahamian taxpayers. They have a duty to serve and give back to the communities that helped fund their education. If anything, those that "sick out" should have their medical licensees suspended until they get bcak to work and have paid back their community. Enough is enough!
Withholding medical care should be treated as a criminal act and punished accordingly.
And I hope the same number, or more, trees were replanted in Grand Bahama to make up for the loss of vegetation there. This is not a good project -- let's not pretend it is! Another piece of our paradise sacrificed to the altar of greed and stupidity.
When will this ignornace and fear-mongering stop!?! Did this parent think "gayness" is contagious and his/her child would somehow be "infected". What utter idiocy. What are you so afraid of?
If you dont' like tomatoes, don't eat them! If you don't like swimming, don't swim. If you don't like drugs, don't use them. For God's sake, these so-called Christians need to learn some tolerance and how to make choices for themselves!
Congratulations, Ms. Jones! You and your fiancé deserve many years of happiness together. I apologize for some of our less enlightened countrymen and women. This shouldn't even be an "issue" for debate.
Hold their feet to the fire -- their big toes should be feelign the heat by now! So much more to go, and lay bare the sordid mess and massice collaboration and collusion that took place in this heist. Go Mr. Izmirlian!
"Free shipping" is calculated on the promotional price. I suspect Amazon is offering this as a "short term" option to test the market and the free shipping will not be a permanent thing.
However, maybe is this time to examine the shipping costs charged by a limited number of shipping operators. Perhaps making things more competitive is a good thing!
And I've never understood the concept of charging duty on the freight charges. It's an intangible -- what am I paying duty on exactly? "Landed cost" is a government racket!
Look for local retailers to up their game too.
This could be a good thing to have some real competition in our local markets.
@Proguing, you do understand how business financing works, right? Had CCA delivered the hotel on time as they had promised and kept stringing him along with false promises, Mr. Izmirlain would have had the hotel open. making money, and able to pay the loans. CCA deliberately kept the construction unfinished so they could force a default. All planned and why Mr. Izmirlain won his fraud suit against CCA in New York.

Let me get this straight --
Those of us who pay our RPT on time and follow the law may get a 10% discount if we pay in full by March 31st.
But those who are in arrears and never pay their RPT get a 100% discount?
Are any of these properties being seized for Provost Marshall sale? If not, why not? These would make great options for "low cost" housing sites.
