The big question here is why did Town Planning grant provisional approval earlier in the year for a 4 storey Condo Hotel without any consultation with the Balmoral community? There is too much of this nonsense going on across the Bahamas. All proposed developments of a significant nature should be subject to the same planning procedures and that must include public consultation of those impacted. When this doesn't happen it leads to obvious concerns as to whether "shady dealings" are involved.
The commercial banks don't want customers anymore - customer service is non-existant. Fewer tellers, closure of branches, removal of quick drop boxes, discouraging cash deposits and now the attempt to eliminate cheques. It seems the Central Bank is party to this grand plan. I really feel for many of our senior citizens who have no means or understanding to follow this totally unfair agenda. Those in government should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen.
50 years of government mis-management and corruption has got us to where we are now. The future is bleak unless we move away from this tribal two-party political system that has served the country so miserably since independence.
Britain was raped, pillaged and enslaved by the Romans and then the Vikings back in the day so should the Royal family / British Government seek reparations from Italy and Norway on behalf of its present citizens? The whole idea is a nonsense.
Mitchell: "Some day, some generation will have to fix this". Really? I'm sure there were similar sentiments expressed prior to independence. How has that worked out?
By any number of metrics, The Bahamas has gone backwards after almost 50 years of independence? Why not go the whole hog and become a Republic? That will help, lol. Davis is playing to the gallery again. Why doesn't he try to be a leader for once instead of a politician?

Mitchell and "Shingles" Gibson - both need to be put out to pasture. Yesterday's men with absolutely nothing to offer The Bahamas.
