Lol, What did the symonette group expect. For them to get all this land because they can give people jobs. This is no Baha Mar, the amount of environmental destruction, lack of long term benefits, the job to land use ratio, and the lack of any meaningful development from this proposal is why it deserved to fail.

I mean yes politics drive money in this country as it does others but they really think this got rejected because they is FNM. If they proposed to cut down the forest for wood again they might get a better chance than this garbage. At least, then they would have to replant the trees.

Furthermore, most mining operations in developed countries pay benefits on the other hand mining operations in developing countries cause mass corruption especially when the country is economically dependent on the resources.

Lastly, for them to even have a hope of the project being WIDELY supported they need to release the environmental impact to the wider public via the internet. Until people can assess for themselves what is gonna happen they can't support the so called facts.

True!! :)

This is the Housing ministries responsibility or Abaco local government. All these extra taskforces just signal that government national and local had no body to ensure these thing were done right in the first place.

What is the point of the ministry???

Wasn't always the right of anyone born to a Bahamian to receive citizenship. Furthermore what media outlet is hosting the poll.

Well I'll say simply:

If you live in a country where you are encouraged to drive everywhere and have poor public transit
expect to be poorer by couple $1000's of dollars every year.

Money for gas
Money for Insurance
Money for Licensing
Money for Vehicular Repair (Regular and Emergency)

That also doesn't account for an a car accident expenses nor the external affects of high car use on others. Air Pollution, Noise, and Road safety risk.

It is a nice proposal they are doing here but we don't need more Gated development far out west, we need more downtown mixed use development with good access to reliable public transit. I mean look at the buildings on Bay and Shirley St. Loads of them are empty either completely or on the upper levels unused.

It is basic good city planning.

In the UK National Lottery
53% go to prizes
25% go to Good Causes
12% go to the Government (As tax)
4% go to Retailer's (Gaming Houses)
5% go to the National operator
4% go to covering cost
1% go to profit

The National lottery solution should be a top priority, However at the very least all Gaming Charitable Monies should fall under National control. Getting rid of Island Luck Cares etc., because its not really good to have these vested industries picking and choosing who gets helped.

We also need a National Charity Regulation to regulate and officialize charities to receive funding from taxation.

Proceeds should go to charities and organizations like the Ranfurly Home, The Dundas, pha, nhi, National Feeding groups, National Renewable Energy Groups, Public Housing & Urban Renewal, Public Transport, and Sports Program/Venues.

A Handgun isn't legal for the general public and rarely is there a situation where you'd end up pointing your firearm, nonetheless a handgun, at police unless you're trying to kill them.

In this case is a handgun not shotgun so no need for the speculative remarks. If you would want more police accountability, As I do, I would recommend supporting Body Cam introduction to the RBPF

So NEMA is doing what its supposed to in the first place? Managing National Emergencies.

Exactly, those insurance companies out off all need to be capped and taxed. At least Atlantis employs thousands directly and indirectly.
