I must give credit where credit is due.

Thank you Prime Minister for recognizing the error of your ways. I support you in your efforts to get Baha Mar back on track with Mr. Izmirilian.

PM, you have a tough fight ahead as you have given the decision making power to the Chinese.

You have already experienced how Hutchison has treated you with respect to you making announcements about the Container Port expansion and then nothing happening.

The EXIM bank is also going to give you a rough time. One thing about the Chinese is that they don't care for "Good Corporate Citizenship" unless it is for the Chinese.

May God guide you, because you are really going to need God's help.

Minis, for God's sake man, how much more irrelevant can you be. There is a National Report (State of the Nation) and you don't speak at length on that.

You are always talking about what you would do. These are REAL problems that affect us all. So how will you fix our youth and our civil service????????

Economist says...

They have no leader and are hell bent on bringing this country down.

The current FNM Council is out of touch, just like their leader Minnis.

Like many others, if they do not appoint another leader, say LBT, then I will probably vote DNA.

Very good letter.

This report is right on.

Economist says...

Looks like the government is trying to bankrupt legitimate business.

They have to pay the VAT but can't get back what they are entitled to.

Strangle their cash flow and put them out of business.

Wonder if they are discriminating against certain business?

Economist says...

At last a report that is saying it as it is.

A number of young educated Bahamians are telling me that they are giving the DNA serious consideration.

They do not see the FNM as a viable alternative at the moment.

Time is running out for the FNM to get its act together and find someone people can follow.

Birdie, STB did not exist when Exuma was dredged.

Are you sure that the QC received a retainer? If so, please tell us what action was taken by the QC.
