With a proper FOIA in place the economy will get stronger and the country will do better. It will get more FDI and an improved efficiency in Government.

It will also be easier to curb government spending. A reduction in unemployment is not out of the realm of possibility either.

Mr. Campbell, Mr. Darville and Ms. Benjamin are to be commended for their efforts. We all need to give them our visible and vocal support.

But then again maybe he........well I leave that up to you.

Another old man holding on to Old Traditions.

Economist says...

And how many of those delegates are in their 20's, 30's or even 40's????

Economist says...

Something does not sound right.

Since when do banks loan $100 million to a business that has always lost money, and huge sums of money at that?

Someone, probably the Bahamian people through NIB, must have guaranteed the loan.

Come on, Bahamasair is over $550 million in the red ink. Who loans money to that?

Economist says...

You would have to dollarize the economy first. Foreign investment can borrow money much cheaper than Bahamians.

The government does not want to have to deal with a Bahamian Sol Kerzner.

I was joking. The idea of another Referendum is a frightening prospect. But how you separate murder cases out from everything else is beyond me.

So he would still have the Privy Council doing everything else.....strange.

Economist says...

That's sad because the FNM **“don’t stand a chance”** against the PLP if Minnis is the Leader.
