Why chase after the foreign banks.. This will be advantage to the local banks until they end up with to much cash surplus and cannot loan it out at reasonable interest rates. Web shop may not have gaming licenses but they have a mutual understanding to operate until next month.

who me I don't have $12 million

Mr. Hubert Minnis has enough trained lawyers in his entourage to know that a breech of a contract is a civil matter and not (at this point ) a criminal matter. The process is that the government will now have to send out demand letters to the slum/crooked contractors requiring them to complete the work or return the funds. If they fail to do so within a specified period of time then the government will have to take them to civil court. The good thing about this action, at least in the United States, is persons who have been sued or have lawsuits pending with the government cannot receive any additional contracts or do any further business with the government until any and all lawsuits are settled to the satisfaction of the government. This is a good way to weed out those who feel that the government owe them or that they are not obligated to perform on a government contract, because they vote for them.

The biggest downfall/shortfall of the PLP government since the Pindling era is that those 'loyal' followers who seem the most desperate for help (and hope) seem always to be the ones to disappoint be not delivering, not completing their contracts or doing shoddy and low class work. Call it cronyism at its best. Yet they complain and call it victimization when a new government is elected and they get no new contracts or their existing contracts are cancelled. The difference between the PLP and FNM in awarding contracts appears to be that the FNM government sought out persons who were qualified and capable of completing the work at a reasonable standard. The PLP, on the other hand, tend to give to contracts to supporters who claim to be in need (of funds) and unfortunately many of them never had any intention of doing the work must less completing it. So the (current) government if left with black eyes such as this, put on them by their own supporters. And in this instance, the persons who seem to suffer most from the uncompleted work, are also PLP supporters. So it is now a matter of the government pulling its socks up and refusing to award (give) any more contracts to persons who do shoddy work or no work at all or who do not complete the scope of work.

Does anyone see the parallels between US and Bahamian politics? In the U.S., despite his performance, Obama has a 4:6 favor ability rating. The media says the people wants Obama gone and they don't want Hillary Clinton. But they also don't want any of the candidates the Republicans have put forward this far. None have even completed one term in the senate. So Hillary stands the better chance of winning. In the Bahamas they also gave Perry Christie a failing grade, as prime minister, and many want him gone. But many do not view Hubert Minnis as a favorable choice for the office. So does that mean more people will be giving their votes to Branville McCartney and the DNA or will they be forced to vote for Hubert Minnis just to get rid of Perry and the PLP?

His plan would have operated similar to hoew cell phones operate today while there would be electrical towers set up around the city that would shoot electricity to the various homes and other buildings without causing harm to humans or anything else. Today we are not sure how much damage is being done by cell phone transmissions

Nikola Tesla had a plan to distribute electricity wirelessly back in the early 1900's. He died before he was able to complete his experiments but the U.S. Government felt the plan was too dangerous. They ordered his notes and writings on the subject destroyed after his death. Even though his idea paved the way for remote controls and other devices that used small amounts of electricity to control other devices, no one seem to persue the idea of generating wireless electricity. Still too dangerous.

I still don't see the benefit of attaching to Florida's grid especially if you have a poor distribution system or electricity that is unaccounted for. You can up owing a foreign entity millions

So Bran wants to export all BEC s power production jobs to South Florida. Then he wants to make a country that has been supplying its own power for over a hundred years to be dependent on a second country for that service. Then where is the $1.5 billion going to come from to finance this venture. Seem like bring in the power ships to supply the island would be more reliable and less costly. The ultimate solution for BEC' s woes is to get at least one high efficient power generator in place. Then get the corporation in a rotation where a new generator is purchased every 2- 3 years. Then incorporate other forms of energy production on to the grid. Most inhabited islands have miles and miles of roadway that is lighted at night. Because of low population density on these islands, solar power can supply the power demands during the daytime and illuminate the roadways at night. Some street may not need to be lit all night. A lot of the streets and public areas in New Providence can also be powered by solar. And if every homeowner is encouraged to install at least a solar water heater, energy consumption can be reduced significantly. It would seem more logical to run power lines between the various islands rather than bringing one from Florida.

I don't think Bah Mar is seeing the market they projected. Then there is still the problem of airlift. Then what will be the benefit of staying at Bah Mar as opposed to Atlantis, except that it is newer.
