This offering lacks transparency and should not be approved as is by the Securities Commission. Who are the shareholders of Verdant? Why in an exhaustive prospectus were these details not provided and hardly a passing mention of Verdant principals made? What is Verdant doing to justify owning 37.5% of the shares? Are these politically connected persons who had these shares simply given to them while at the same time asking Bahamian investors to fund almost the entirety of this project?

Good riddance to Gibson, long islanders deserve better.

A small start. An even better plan is to raise vat on all sugary drinks and fast food to 20%.

Quite apropos, we all know what acronym COI stands for. He fits in like a hand in the glove.

You want your fast food left alone😀? Big part of the problem.

These politicians have no spine, worse than a jellyfish. We need a tax on sodas and fast food in this country now! Consumption of these harmful products will fall while at the same time generating much needed government revenues to pay for the consequences of these ultra processed foods. Why should the profits from these harmful products be privatized while the cost to treat these chronic preventable diseases that they spawn be socialized (placed on the Bahamian taxpayer)?

This is why I have boycotted Rubis. Their behavior in this matter has been shameful, I refuse to patronize them anymore. Not good corporate or environmental citizens at all.

Happy morning to cruise port shareholders, today is payday for the more than 3,000 Bahamian shareholders who are sharing in the incredible success of the port and participating in the wealth creation of our beloved Bahamaland. A 21% dividend pay rate is exceptional, onward to even greater heights this year!

The vat on food should be and could be ZERO except for the greedy PLP politicians who wasted $58 million on extravagant travel. Shameful.
