It is a well-known fact Haitians have been selling fraudulent birth certificates for decades. How will this be policed?

I hope these geniuses don't forget to factor in wage increases to keep pace with a simi-annual increase in NIB taxes!

Great ideas tourism minister DPM Cooper! But why enforce belated common sense rules with just Bay Street?

Are prostitutes, drug peddlers, vagrants, the mentally ill, and thieves, welcomed on the Cable Beach strip? How about the resort areas of Port Lucaya, Abaco, Eleuthera, and Exuma? Are these areas not just as important as Bay Street?

Also, why not deal with loud music which is another major nuisance that destroys the ambiance of Bay Street and the country at large for everybody? Noise pollution from passing vehicles in and around the capital is another important common sense issue that needs to be addressed with equal urgently!

A new Florida state law makes it illegal to play music or any audio loud enough to be heard from 25 feet or more away. The law also says audio should not be louder than necessary in areas near private residences, churches, schools, or hospitals.

It would be a great injustice and a wasted opportunity if DPM Cooper fails to deal with this vexing issue!

Why should we continue to allow a few ignorant, selfish, people to destroy the tranquility that tourists come to the "Islands" in search of?

The Attorney General, Cabinet, and or Parliament, should only be entitled to the same level of insurance coverage as citizens!

These people are all "employees" of the populous. As "STAFF", how is it that they get better insurance coverage than their "BOSS"?

This is insanity!

I've said it before and I will say it again. The only solution for Haiti is for the UN to put boots on the ground with the intention of imprisoning, physically removing, or decapitating the entire corrupt political and elite class of crooks that controls all the nefarious activity in Haiti.

This will never happen, so Haiti is a lost cause.

So it is really only going to be a Haitian maternity ward?

The new hospital was quoted at around $600 million years ago. How can Government now only guarantee $290 million in financing for New Providence's hospital?

Question. Is the Shot Spotter technology supposed to work as a deterrent against crime? If so, how?

Yadda, yadda, yadda. PM Davis's comments were well-placed and beautifully announced. However, in reality, how much is the new cruise port going to contribute to resolving THE biggest, decades-old, complaint from visitors that Nassau is boring and does not have enough to do?

The new cruise port is without question a major step in the right direction. So not looking a gift horse in the mouth, we still have not addressed the elephant in the room which is, what is being done to resolve the issue of Nassau not offering enough to do as a "major" resort destination. And the even more in-depth question, as the family islands tourism explosion continues, how do we NOT repeat the same mistakes made in Nassau?

If the decades-old, and very well-documented, problem of Nassau being a boring destination is **not reversed quickly** the increased numbers of cruise tourist arrivals will work against us as visitors spread the word that Nassau is not worth visiting, resulting in Nassau falling lower in guest satisfaction polls.

Successive government administrations did not understand the ramifications of losing the Drumbeat Club, Ronnies Rebel Room, King and Knights, Fore and Aft, The Cabaret Show, Dirty Dicks, Down Under, the back room, and so many, many, more nighttime entertainment venues that made Nassau literally come alive after dark as visitors would expect to find in a major Caribbean resort destination.

One of our genius, idiot, politicians as Minister of Tourism started using the term "hotel experience". This is by far the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. No one travels anywhere for a "hotel experience"!

People travel to experience new people and cultures. NO ONE went to any Caribbean destination looking for a "hotel experience".

We simply **CANNOT** expect a resort destination without proper evening entertainment to survive! We are also losing Billions in lost revenue as visitors take disposable income meant for entertainment **back home!**

This is a crisis situation that needs to be forefront in the minds of the government!

I hope and pray Sarkis gets fair retribution for **ALL** those that tried to swindle him out of his own project!
