That doesn't appear to have been very sturdy. Does any ministry inspect structures like that?

I guess our securities commission is working double overtime now. Yikes!!

See what I did there Birdie? I agreed with something bad without comparing it to something another party did way back when.

Agreed. The FNM messed up big time on this. They were crazy to even consider putting money into a run down hotel. Maybe $10 million but no more than that.

Bahamian's consider this all good business. Corruption and low morales ain't no thing.

Don't forget to add the numbers houses on that list. 80% of poor people's discretionary money is spent on spinning.

Please note..."This is in addition to other increases that are proposed under the industrial agreement, according to State Minister for Public Service Pia Glover-Rolle."

She doesn't state anywhere that these are the bottom paid workers. In fact, she said that this is for every level of worker. AND it's in addition to other increases outside of minimum wage - which is mandatory.

We simply can't afford to keep the number of government workers we currently have on the payroll, let alone give 2,000 of them an increase. As Bahamianson said (above) - where is this money coming from?

I would like to see China re-open the British Colonial Hotel. We never hear anything about it's reopening. Is the plan to keep it closed until The Bahamas gives them something in return?

If government had the sense to go to the table first then this embarrassment could have been avoided.
Too bad this new day government don't think so good.
