First we have to see if Bahamar gets completed prior to getting excited about a massive property with minimal infrastructure having investment pour into it. Perhaps Ms. Turner can be the first MP from Long Island since Peter Graham to actively pursue foreign investment!

.....and a knighthood was bestowed for contribution to business development.

The ministry of tourism never had to turn a profit. All they had to do was spend government money. So what do you expect when NAD puts a MOT employee as head of its operations.

The FNM should know better and keep their distance from Bostwick. He has the potential to embarrass them more than all the PLP scandals effect the government's credibility.

This image is so over photo shopped!

Sadly the real gems of The Bahamas like south Eleuthera are regressing instead of progressing. If the case of south Eleuthera, they have had a problem of a big snake in the bush for decades impeding its development. Even worse, the snake is not indigenous to the island.

Nygard has "been a long time friend" with any politician he has spent more than five minutes on the phone with.

There are some very strange view points above. If we review precedent in the courts, numerous known criminals are released on bail and far too many on murder. Over ninety percent of these persons released are complete morons with no serious financial foundation. I have no idea why this woman who obviously has access to substantial assets for bail cannot surrender her travel documents and wear an ankle tracking device. How many of those on bail are in position to post a true realistic bond and even surrender a passport? If above commentary is based on race and economic rationale then it is a good time for any intellectual to consider this paradise lost. I do not know this woman and I do think she is an ass to be in this position however I do not suspect her to be an assassin.

With Ellis at the helm of this ship no wonder its sinking.

Interesting. All you ever hear during elections is how Long Island does not need government assistance as its people are hard working and industrious. The difficulty with elections is you never know who will emerge victorious. Perhaps its time for Long Islanders to be a little less long in the mouth and demonstrate more humility. Just because someone supports a different political party does not make them less intelligent or important. Unfortunately many in Long Island emulate the brashness of their former representation. What they fail to understand is how many of their favored political leaders are in business with those they feel socially compelled to ridicule. It is true that Long Island has been left on the back burners through the years however it would worthwhile for the people who do not support the government to at least respect it. Publicly demonizing people in power is not the best way to get things done. Let elected representation do the criticizing in public. After all, the tradition of the representation of Long Island after the UBP is " I can't do anything for you unless I am in government". That is the true paradox. The "industriousness" of Long Island is held hostage to when their elected representation serves as a cabinet minister. In other democracies, economic growth is determined by the private sector. Long Island has roads, power, telecommunications, potable water and two airports. Tourism is driven by demand and the internet is the gateway to millions of potential visitors. If Long Island's representation is not able to contribute unless in a cabinet position, then the private sector better get motivated and creative. Five years is a long time to wait for representation to be hired in cabinet. Ten years can feel like a lifetime.
