This is nonsense -- no reason for Sandals to be prosecuted for this. LBT needs to spend more time worrying about her own constituency and less time complaining about things she has no business with and trying to win points for political grandstanding. .

The bottom line is that the unions are the ones who need investigating. If they had done their job properly, there would have been no need for any of this. Sandals got tired of being dictated to by the "mafia unions" with all their thuggish posturing and unreasonable demands.

Though losing one's job is never a good thing, those who got paid out, instead of sitting idle for 2 months while Sandals completed renovations actually made out better than if they remained there. And now Sandals has presumably hired back many of the good workers while gotten rid of the slackers and troublemakers. I think that makes a much nicer working environment for everyone! I look forward to going back to work.

Banker, that's a cold hard truth that many Bahamians don't or can't understand. And while the Bahamas swagger around with pride of sovereignty and the rest of the bravado, it's the Chinese who are laughing at us. We just don't get it.

And when the thugs from Macau move in, we'll feel even sorrier for ourselves. Mind you, I'm not even convinced there is a buyer -- just too many potential buyers who have said, we're not paying top dollar for an unfinished and poorly done resort. They said, "Finish it, then we'll talk."

Maybe that's why PGC is being so coy.

Or is it possible there is no buyer yet, as no one wants to purchase an unfinished resort -- much less one done as badly as CCA has done? It's possible this finishing of the resort is something CEXIM realises it must do before it can sell. And with the Chinese workers all sent off to Panama now -- who will do the work?

Is this PGC's 10,000 job promise just before the election? Will there actually be Bahamian workers completing the resort?

Way too many unanswered questions -- and as usual, the PLP government isn't offering any answers.

Rollins has little man syndrome. He should just get on with whatever it is he's doing and not worry about what LBT is doing. What a baby!

birdie, doom and gloom is still here, no matter how PGC spins it. This announcement comes just as Moody's downgrades the Bahamas yet again. So, pull off your delusional PLP rose coloured classes and see what's really happening here instead of being just one more sheep being led to slaughter.

And this "happy news" just as Moody's downgrades the Bahamas yet again! What's next, pretty pink unicorns in Rawson Square?

"Under their Chapter 11 efforts, our people had little prospect of being paid anything. Under this agreement,"

Surely Mr. Christie doesn't think the Bahamian people are that stupid. He's still lying to us!

If Chapter 11 had been allowed to proceed without Christie and Maynard-Gibson howling about sovereignty, Baha Mar would have long been open and this whole mess would have been avoided.

I wonder which new master the PLP government will serve? Perhaps part of the deal is that they will finance the election for the PLP. Will we ever know the full details?

I'll believe it when I see it.

I can only hope we haven't sold out yet again to the Chinese with their carpet bags. I am sensing yet another "nation for sale" deal coming up with ties to organized crime.

I do wish some of the articles would contain more details. For example, the locally transmitted cases -- were these the result of contact with the 2 known travel-related cases, or are we to assume these are unrelated and in fact, locally contracted? It's a very important clarification in determining risk. Will we get further details?

This would have been a much better article with more detail. Where did the plane come from? How many people aboard? Bahamian plane? Bahamian pilot? With that much cocaine, it's unlikely this was the final stop -- where was the cocaine bound?

Kudos to our police and RBDF who have lately gotten a fair amount of drugs off the streets. Now I wish we could do the same for guns.
