This is great news for Freeport. There will be plenty of jobs and business opportunities. Freeport is slowly coming back to life. We need this same type of activity in the Family Islands.

It does not seem like BREA math is right. Bahamians now have up to a $600,000 exemption for owner-occupied triplexes and under. Then up to 1% on a sliding scale afterwards. The foreigners who occupy their property do not have any exemption but pay 0.625% of the total amount. So at the end of the day, who pays more? It is the foreigner.

The United States is full of hypocrisy. They want to police the world and tell them what is right and wrong, but they don't follow those same rules in anything.
Tell them to stop using cobalt from Africa that comes from child labor. That is just the start. If they applied that same rule, their entire IT and military industry would shut down. Cobalt is used for everything related to computers, cell phones, and electronic products.
It is time for the world to look past the US for trade.

This is awesome. We are finally moving in the right direction on energy reform. There is one section that is constantly ignored. That is privatizing the Clifton Pier operation. BPL needs to get out of the supply of energy completely and do a joint partnership. They also need to let go about 1,000 workers and be lean and efficient. Let's see if they have what it takes to go all the way.

Lincoln Bain says that there are billions and trillions of dollars being made from our salt trade. Well, why didn't he buy it? Salt production was down, and Morton Salt and the entire island were about to shut down and become like the Diamond Salt location in south Long Island. Business is business, and business must make sense.

This is awesome. This approach needs to be duplicated in more food-related areas. We import about $1 billion in food every year. We need to find ways to reduce that to grow the economy and reduce food dependency.

These are very good plans for Arawak Cay and Potters Cay. They need to include using asphalt tar in the back area of Arawak Cay in back of the vendors' stalls. In the back there is a mess when it rains. It would also be good if they could put a restroom in the back there for staff.

This is powerful and legendary. This is exactly what Freeport needs to jump-start the economy and provide relief to the people where they need it most. Freeport is now part of The Bahamas and should experience massive growth.

This is great news. All of the right moves are being made. Finally, someone is thinking out of the box and beyond our borders.

Why would he have a problem with everyone paying their fair share? This will only cost the employees 3% for retirement income. In the past there was a free lunch, but going forward everyone must pay. That is what is fair and equitable.
