The sad part about this whole ordeal is how we as a nation is looking to the international tourist world and to FDIs. Despite the antics of the Izmirlians, If I invested almost a billion dollors of personal funds, I would be screaming mad too!!

I know we are all upset, and we as Bahamians have every right to be. These are the men and women that some of us have elected to govern the country and for the best interest of we the people, and despite the bum job they appear to be doing, it is what we have right now. Let's all pray that they would do the job they have been elected to do, and hope this resort gets opened for the betterment of all Bahamians...but...who knows....it is really looking dim right now, and who knows what the Chinese REAL intentions are and what they REALLY have up their Chong Lee sleeves, that rabbit hole is the equivalent of the Long Island Blue Hole. We might as well buckle down and get use to this.

The question to ask is come 2017, who and which party are we prepared to vote the reigns of the country to? Two zero one seven will come like a thief in the night, and the governing party of 2017 will be the ones to either be stuck with this mess, or with the reward if it sis ever resolved!

Regardless of all the nasty back and forth, my stick bigger than your stick talk, we all should hope someway, somehow, this gets resolved really soon for the betterment of all of us. we may not agree with or understand whatever methods our current government is taking, but it's who is at the helm right now. We need to just hope it gets resolved and the Riviera opens...but then after this article, I have my doubts!!

Hey TalRussell, couldn't have said it better myself! Despite the current political situation, Its time for us to trust each other, pool our funding, and really invest in more than the chicken shack or corner bar, something that would generate high equity.
