The government should be congratulated in general and minister Mitchell in particular for enacting this legislation to assist with our long intractable problem of illegal immigration. The FNM failed to act meanifully but the present govt finally has. Also the grand Bahama human rights association in general and Mr. Fred Smith in particular thanked for his advocation of rights for the disenfranchised and for holding the govt feet to the fire. He said legislation was necessary and he was right, we are better for the bitter, angry debate on immigration. Especially with the creation of the belonger's permit the govt has the tools to finally deal with this vexing immigration problem in a fair and humane way. I pray that with all the necessary elements in place the govt will swiftly and purposefully move forward to regularize those that are eligible, this means processing people in a fair and timely manner, and deporting those that are illegally in this country just as swiftly.

Yes, it is time for the FNM to put actions behind their words. They should not let this matter drop if they truly believe as they said that this is a threat to the democratic process. We are watching to see if the FNM means what they say.

Yes, open a brokerage account with either royal fidelity, Colina, or family guardian.

I thought the same thing regarding the timing.

The FNM should not allow Gray to speak again in his capacity as minister in parliament until he resigns.

This is fuzzy math on steroids, in his former life Mr. Major was manager of Bahamasair so he has a lot of experience with fuzzy math. He is living in an alternate reality where nothing has to be profitable ( bankrolled by the treasury) and losses are viewed as surpluses and it is all good once we say it is.

Alchemy is a medieval phenomenon whose practitioners claimed that they could transform lead into Gold. The finlaysons in business have perfected just the opposite, the art of turning gold into lead.

Birdie this is simply untrue, why do you continue to lie? There was dividend payment of .12 per share on Jan 3/14, and another .12 per share dec/14 for a total of .24 per share for last year with a very generous dividend yield of 4.62% at the current share price. This is far better than anyone could have earned on their money with a fixed deposit at a commercial bank. Please stop spreading your ignorance and lies. If you really own shares ( probably another lie) you should know this.

It was a million dollar party! No one said it would not be fun but the question is was it profitable? I sincerely doubt it generated a million dollars in revenue, I saw the crowd and it was 95% bahamian, relatively few tourist. Again I hope it is an economic success but that is very much in doubt, as such there are much better ways to spend precious tax dollars than throwing a party for people to feel good.
