The fact of the matter is this. The north coast of Haiti is where the least ambitious and prosperous Haitians reside. These people have been the cast offs since the get go and now are thousands of castaways that are populating The Bahamas at am alarming rate. They were the last of the slaves on the non-direct Haiti shipments. Who were not sold in Guadeloupe, Martinique and the other French colonies were essentially dumped at a bargain price in Cap Haitian. It was their leader who murdered the liberator of Haiti. It was their people that burned all the plantations of Haiti and have scorched the landscape of that country ever since. The DR is lush garden while its neighbour Haiti is a waste land. The president of Haiti has no interest in curtailing the migration of boat people from the north coast. The people of Haiti would love nothing more than The Bahamas losing its soul to the north coast "untouchables". Ever wonder why all the Haitians look a like in The Bahamas? That is due to the fact that no other Haitian wants to mix blood with the people of the north coast. So the Haitian president steps close to the periphery of blackmail when he suggests The Bahamas invest in agriculture in the same area in Haiti where the people torched all he plantations in their nation and set a course of poverty that has never abated no matter how much money has been thrown at them. Simple solution. Dump a 747 of condoms on the north coast and burn all the boats. We already have too much of a major problem to deal with future generations of the scourge that now resides in the shadows of our islands. It is time to stop being the dumping ground of the Haitians that Haiti wishes it never knew.

The real concern is this additional revenue will probably not go to bringing down the debt but a coffer builder for the government in power to fight the next election with. The revenue from this tax should be restricted as a sinking fund to reduce the nation's debt.

The Democrats control the Senate now. What happens if things change in the mid-terms?

Nygard and hyperbole are synonymous!

Marlon needs a new photo. At least if he is to be taken seriously wherever he goes next.

Looks like Nygard's rent a parade backfired. He will probably deduct the cost off his Canadian taxes.

Does Jones Communications allow its customers to run up massive payables to them?

Snake will bail him out when the time comes......again!

This illustrates that there is not only a major deficiency of character, integrity and morality in Nassau, it also confirms a very serious deficiency in the gene pool.

The mismanagement of this key utility by a government monopoly disrupting the lives of over 100,000 Bahamians is one thing but threatening our number one industry at the nation's number one destination resort at the same time is beyond forgiving. This is a total disgrace. First rate example of Banana Republic mentality.
