Already in excess of 1 million dollars (excluding purchase price of land) has been spent levelling a hill for the new mini hospital in Central Eleuthera. And the work is not finished. Surely it is time to take a stand and cancel / postpone these expensive projects especially as clinics on the island do not have adequate stocks of basic medication.

The law of diminishing returns. You tax the hell out of prospective new car buyers and they seek alternatives.You can buy 6 good condition s/h Japanese cars for the price of an average new American car meaning you can throw them away every 5 years. I know which I would choose.

How the hell can you " advance long term development" by "pissing money away" and create a staggering national debt.

I think Fweddy found politics very rewarding with the first class flights, trips all over the world, top class hotels and the chance to exercise his power complex. As for PLP supporters they are keeping their heads down as I am sure there are many more to roll.

So start cutting. In central Eleuthera work is underway for a so called mini hospital at a price tag of 30 million excluding the purchase price of the land. Once built can it be staffed, can it be supplied and almost certainly most serious cases will still be flown out to Nassau. Yes a new super clinic is nice but stop putting the cart before the horse and get finances under control.

George, you forget Normans Cay, You forget getting drunk at Exuma Regatta, and you want to take any sort of moral position on a corrupt, inefficient party that has saddled the next generation with a huge national debt

Your deluded.

I love the banners on one of our local numbers shops. "everybody wins". What a blatant lie aimed at the most vunerable and deluded in our society. Maybe it should say "some people will win eventually".

So true ThisisOurs, there are so many churches with all sorts of new fangled names springing up daily and in competition with one another for how many AC units or trinkets they can display.
Church in many instances has become a business and well paying at that. As for promoting the Christian ideology so many of these church goers simply attend on a Sunday as a social event and who can dress better. And so many so called pastors etc are self taught or passed a postal course on "becoming a pastor" which makes a mockery of the sustained and comprehensive training that Catholic or Anglican priests have to go through.

As I understand it the fuel surcharge is related to market oil prices yet even having gone through the lowest oil prices in recent history the surcharge never seemed to reduce. On that note the customs duty on many many items including food have gone down yet recently on Eleuthera we have seen ridiculous increases on the cost of food items and not by mere cents either. Unless we have inspectors going around the shops and ensuring that the savings are passed onto customers , then I am pretty sure that any customs reductions will only go to line the pockets of the local merchants.
