Undermining? Who is this woman kidding! If there was transparency to begin with, no one would need to ask for the details of the shady backroom deals. The only undermining being done here is by AMG by making a mockery of the Bahamian justice system in order to serve their own best interests.

The government has been misleading the public for nearly 5 years! Actually, they've been lying to us.

Dark or light smoke, it is still extremely toxic! Don't try to mitigate this complete disaster by making it seem less severe than it is.

Here's a thought -- why not make Baha Mar useful and use a section of it to house those displaced by this dump fire? Housing them in the gym that is a mere mile or two away from the fire isn't much help.

$50k is a slap on the wrist, but that the order requires Nygard to replace all the dredged sand from whence it came by April 7 or risk a further $50k fine with $1k per day thereafter might just be enough for this jackass to do as he's been told for once.

My only question is if he has been ordered to return the land to its original state -- ie the original acreage he purchased. If so, then this will cost him far more than the measly $50k, as it would mean most of the buildings and improvements and harbour would have to be dismantled as well.

I do hope the order is followed through with and we can take our country back from this arrogant ass. Perhaps he will be invited to depart the country as well. One can only hope.

Oh, and Birdie, you really must live under the PLP rock if you don't know there are indeed a number of black folk who live behind the Lyford Cay gates -- and nope, not live-in housekeepers either. Do try and educate yourself before spreading stupidity.

Gotoutintime, no way Aunt Lizzie and the UK want us back -- look what we have become! Besides, what do we bring to the table?

If the shoe fits, Mr. Smith, maybe you gotta wear it! You've got no one but yourself to blame for your long-over career. Even Nygard can't help you now -- he'll hang you out to dry too!

Well_mudda-take-sic, I hear you! But can you not see the shifting sands? Some prominent FNM supporters (ie, the ones who pay for the election campaign) have made it very clear they do not want Minnis. He's there long enough to win an election for the FNM, then will be sent on his merry way. His time is short -- just as his little temper!

Mr. Christie, given the abysmal record you and your PLP have accomplished and managed to all but destroy the Bahamas, I think I'd like to take a chance on Dr. Minnis. I hate the PLP more than I hate Minnis.

So that's what you politicians have given us -- a legacy of having to choose the ones who will do the least amount of damage. Are you proud of that?

$400 million? To complete Baha Mar?

This is proof that China Construction Company and their parent bank NEVER had any intention of completing the hotel while Izmirlian owed it. By missing opening dates by days, and it still was going to take $400 million to open?

I do hope Izmirlian still has lawsuits against CCCA as this almost proof they had no intention of honouring their opening deadlines.

And you seem to think Minnis himself isn't corrupted? Hmmm.
