no fan of PGC, but comparing him to Hitler is tasteless and lowest level possible. However Pinocchio I like. Spot on. The nose is growing so fast and so long, we have finally enough wood to run a good waste to energy plant and deliver the power to the World.
I prefer a rock into the Police car windshield over a bullet in one our childrens chest. And yes the Laws of the land should be for all, Politicians included. This should serve as a notice for others in Nassau and Abaco and Blackbeard Cay who build illegal structures. I can assure you they have more money than most of us do.
my friend, how about we send these assets to the islands to help rebuild? Every immigration officer/police officer can be used for that. Making even more people homeless these days does not make sense, is unnecessary and does not resolve anything. so leave it alone. Of course it is a health hazard and an immigration issue. But hey, no one in this government gives a rats a## about broken traffic lights, cars driving without insurance, people shooting people, or corruption. So why now and why this. They just need to set up another smokescreen to hide their incapability to deal with Joaquin. This government is just dumb.
please no. make some nice restaurants, make a food store, good retail, there needs to be a good mix between local customers and cruise ship tourists. and that's between 9 am and Midnight. Put away with the parking and make sidewalk cafes and restaurants (no chains). Maybe even go back to the 1920 and make it "antique downtown", tourists would go crazy. If they sit down and drink a beer or coffee to pay more than when they buy on the go. Hospitality. Look at Bodrum, Turkey, at U.S. based downtowns (Calabassas in California), do valet parking for the guests, restrict the taxi stands, paint the houses, put trees in and Umbrellas, have street musicians play. Its not that complicated.
Its different whether you live in the Bahamas or whether you have a hotel/second home. In 50 years the ocean front properties will not be worth the paper the purchase contract was written on. This here is a test to see whether our Government is reading the newspapers and listening to the trends and changes our planet is undergoing. Whoever allows taxpayors money to be used to build at low elevations or close to the Ocean, needs to go. Now. It is questionable to begin with whether some locations will still be around in 50 years (I mean above the water). Maybe the Bahamas is the real Atlantis to come. God be with us all.
PLP does not need a convention. PGC will run again. Everything else would be (I) a platform for unfaithful PLP members to present their agenda (Galanis etc.), (ii) cost money, and (iii) erode PGC's credibility even further. So from a PLP/PGC perspective its the only right decision. This is not a party, this is a one man show. How can a man deliberate with himself?
