If it is such a good deal why seal it up and lock it away. Bahamians need to know what is being given away (again). Government has put almost 1/3 of the value in Bah Mar and still Bahamians has no equity in the project. Except jobs and those connected to the government who got shop spaces and other bits of Bah Mar's candies.

The Weather Channel is telling South Florida residents to prepare. They calling the system "an F150 that hasn't gotten an engine yet". They expect it to strengthen as it crosses the warm waters of the Bahamas and even though it hasn't yet been named it has the potential to become s cat1. Should residents in the Northern and even Central Bahamas be on the same alert.

Perry did say the Bahamian sub-contractors, who were previously engaged on the project," will complete it. This would be a good thing because it will get money flowing through the shrinking Bahamian economy. Despite the lack of credibility of this government let's hope for the best for the sake of the Bahamian people.

Unfortunately the Christie government is the main reason Bah Mar was brought to s squeeching halt and so now they only fixing what they helped create. When Izlirimian was crying out to the government for help and trying to get them to see the problems he was having with the Chinese, Christie called him a crazy mad and sided with the Chinese in taking Bah Mar into receivership. And over the year of doing so everything the Bah Mar developer was complaining about was proven to be true: shoddy work, missed deadlines, failure of contractor to pay sub contractors and a strange and guarded relationship between the bank and the contractor.

Going halfway through summer, the outages were not as bad as last year. Some mornings we were having six and eight outages between 6 am and noon and up to 13 in a day. The weather has cool now so BPL challenges should be reduced

Storm is strengthening very quickly and if it misses the mountains of Hispaniola it may be a Hurricane when it passes in the area of the Bahamas by this weekend.

well don't forget Izmirilian in all this showboating. He is still following his claim against china EXIM bank and The China Construction Company. If he prevails, someone will have to cough up millions to compensate him, most like China Bank and CCA. Just hope Perry, in his dilly-dallying, does not cause the Bahamas to become a party to this lawsuit.

Ironic that the prime minister will compare the signing of an agreement to restart and complete construction at Bah Mar to Shaunae Miller's dive across the finish line to claim first place and a gold medal. When Shaunae took the dive and slid across the finish line, she knew that it was the last and final move she had and, regardless of the outcome, her race was finished and her position in the line up was complete. With Bah Mar this is definitely not a dash across the finish line and in fact even if this was a relay, most people, Bahamians especially, do not even believe it is the anchor leg of the project. Some may even doubt that Bah Mar has reached the third leg of its race to success. Some feel it is just a political ploy (election soon come) and the concessions given to The Chinese and others to get Bah Mar to get moving is still top secret. And many are still skeptical that the project will actually be re-started, and will believe it only when they see it, if only because of the many false starts and empty promises and worthless assurances by the same prime minister. But hopefully it is a genuine and real announcement this time and Bah Mar will be off to another start. And hopefully the Bahamian natives will not have given away an arm and two legs to the Chinese to get to this point. With the softening economy, worldwide the Bah Mar battle is still an uphill one and is far from being a dive across the finish line. Very far. But any progress is good progress. Hopefully the government has now become more skillful and experienced with negotiating with the Chinese and with multi billion contracts in general and they will not let this one slip from underneath them. In the main time they (the government) should be busying themselves with "what if" projects in case all does not bid well with Bah Mar, especially since the project alone,and even with its spin off's do not solve the unemployment problem and it seems to be a definite case of 'putting too many eggs in the same basket.'

If you do some research on Zika and Chikungunya you will see that these virus invading the Bahamas and the Caribbean and South America is no accident. They already made the vaccine for these viruses but guess what?...research it!
