How can the govt. expect MSC/Hutchison Whampoa to make a decision when they (the govt.) have not fulfilled the #1 issue... A decision on Hawksbill Creek? Cart before the horse never works!

Greatly appreciated gift for much needed education.
In the old days diving in West End, the thick lipped Queen conch were left alone. They were old, the meat tough & grey, after all those years of pushing that Big Thick-Lipped Nasty Algae covered Shell around, must be some 20-30 years old at least! Lets get the Clean Thin-Lip Rollers with large milky meat and then sell the shell!!...

Unknown to us those were the mature breeders! We were practicing good management & did not know it! The Thick-Lip ones bred many many times a year & produced young conch year after year after year.
Why can we not do the same now?
Leave the Thick lip conch alone... more than 1/4" thick Lip? leave it alone!... a simple piece of plastic with 1/4" gap will work as a convenient gauge to measure.

If the 'report' has indicated certain policy changes that are beneficial to Freeport, Why is it that GBPA has not moved towards implementing such items on their own? After all it is their position to manage & operate Freeport. Showing some leadership & capacity at this time would be a most beneficial public relations effort on the part of the owners. Yet we hear nothing.
Are the beneficiaries circling the wagons because the indians are in sight, protecting their backs before finding common ground?

Looks like we have Banana Republic ethics at it's best.
There is certainly need for Freedom of Information Act for all government decisions.
The real danger is in having an act with no teeth, everyone is still awaiting the Financial Statements from members of Parliament from many years back and that is the Law.
I am entertained by the lack of remorse, 'just business as usual' no matter the colour of shirt or skin.
Next thing we will need to carry $20 in our drivers license/passports, in case our papers are checked... Venezuela/Cuba here we come.

Let's see a copy of the agreement. Post signage review is better than no review. BEC or BPL are owned/supported directly & indirectly by the people.

That fast ferry will be used for running Ft. Lauderdale to Havana Cuba in the near future as Havana will not deal with Miami, only Tampa & other ports. Too bad desperate politicians can't see a 'temporary alternative' sign placed on their heads of agreement. How about promoting a Havana, Bimini, Port Everglades route? The damage is done, lets think logically... something new for politicians.

The old adage of 'Beware of strangers bearing gifts' is becoming very clear.
One only has to Google 'Chinese construction fiasco's' to get a perspective & pattern to their business-as-usual methods.
It is understandable to want to initiate another local project to keep the imported employees &/or equipment local & operational. It is the method of strong-arming the client and government by slowing down the incomplete present job (BahaMar) as leverage for the second job (The Point). There is the real crime... or is it the collusion & whitewashing of such actions?

Everyone is awaiting the actions of the 'Master group', be it a puppet master, slave master or political master. As underscored in The French and American Revolutions, the real Power Is In The People, they allow the presence of 'Masters', no matter their color or country of origin!. Performance Counts... Don't like what the masters are doing... out! Let another do better... if not better?... OUT! Find another...
That is Democracy!, not apathy by selling votes on Election Day & continuous complaints.
If you do not have a solution find one, the world is full of examples.
