**“We remain focused on our vision to improve the quality of life for everyone in Grand Bahama, and to provide high performance service in areas of utility, city management and business development.”**

Remain focused?????? You must be kidding. You have done nothing for the last 10 or 12 years.

GBPA would be one big joke if it wasn't for the suffering of the residents and licensees.

Of the large investors that have come to The Bahamas over the years, Hutchison stands out head and shoulders among the worst.

Hutchison's non-performance together with the GBPA's failure to do its job is the reason Freeport is a failed city.

NEMA has the plans. South Beach, Carmichael Areas, Yamacraw etc, all flood zones.

Understand that they expect some 10,000 homes to be flooded if a storm comes up slowly and blows the water off the banks on the South-side of New Providence.

That's before we knew about a storm as strong as Dorian. Make that 15,000 or more homes.

**"Recently we passed the most modern environmental protection legislation a part of which allows for damages for historic pollution."**

Now that is interesting! So if I did something wrong in the past you can penalize me for it, even though the law under which you are penalizing me was not in existence???

Is that allowed under the Constitution????

I am checking out in the same store as everyone else. I am not at one of the exclusive stores. People are bringing cardboard boxes and old bags. No complaints though.

Statements like these further confirm "Don't invest in The Bahamas".

Maybe that is what he should say because that is what he means.

Haven't heard any complaints. Seems that the large majority of us understand the reason for the plastic ban and are supporting it.

Ours is a beautiful country and though we don't always show it, we do love and care for it.

Thank you Sam Duncombe, please keep up the good work.

Maybe they are thinking, what if Nassau took a direct hit by a storm that was as strong and lasted as long as Dorian?

1929 -
**"At 00:30 UTC on September 25,[8] the intense hurricane passed over Nassau with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph (233 km/h);[5] the capital city was within the calm of the eye for two hours. The next day, it crossed Andros Island south of Fresh Creek, moving at 2–3 mph (3.2–4.8 km/h),"**

Dorian was 40 mph stronger and stuck around for an extra day during a King Tide.

"I look forward to it continuing to progress."

He must mean to Bahamasair bankrupting the Country.

Under his administration he added another $225,000,000.00 ($100,000,000.00 for new aircraft + $125,000,000.00 in operating losses) of debt to Bahamasair. Now that is some progress!

He added one third of its total debt in just 5 years.

Shut it down. We, the Bahamian taxpayer, are bleeding money.
