So wait, the same party that ignored the people's decision and legalized number houses, now has a problem with national lotteries?? Didn't the same Perry Christie propose a National Lottery, what's the problem now?
I don't understand the PM when he says that a National lottery will be a "slush fund", when they already charge taxes on gaming. It is the exact same concept, just cutting out a certain middleman. Furthermore, A National lottery doesn't stop Bahamian's in the gaming Industry.

What an ridiculous statement, your already collecting gaming money.
Also what are the Church leaders even arguing about, Not a single-one of these parties are against gambling. The argument is whether gambling profit goes to private men or whether the state can get it's cut.
I think it must be noted that a lot of people are in the country via overstaying and false documentation.
So it would be best not to expect the "seawall" to be a fix-it-all solution but for careful strategy across all areas of immigration.
What they need to do is to allow descendants of Bahamian Women born abroad to be citizens. So we aren't reliant on foreign immigration to support our population.
This development despite its attempts to placate to Bahamians, doesn't fit the scale of Governor's Harbour and would be completely damaging to the community.
To me it sound's like a rich egotistical landlord looking for his own Disneyland. I mean J Resort's Eleuthera, that name sucks. The golf course is horrendously large, how many courses does Eleuthera need. The "resort neighborhoods" sound like large scale segregation. Also, where are they going to get the workers from and is there even enough housing/infrastructure to support this development?
Our Country was born with socialist institutions. The problem is poeple like socialist policy with caretaking the institutions.
nib, cob, bec, wsc, bhsair, btc, zns. All socialist and all necessary. However we don't have sensible leaders, who are willing to do the right things to take care of our institutions.

Yes, Instead of trying to spread all the medical infrastructure on every island.
We should just focus on a hub for each of the regions. Nassau(North), Exuma(Central), and Inagua(South). Or maybe just have Inagua as a southern hub.
Build the main hospitals there and have emergency vehicles/aircraft there and not have a undersupplied service on each island.
