So many similarities between Chipman, Rollins, McCartney, etc. Its the way it should be and the,way it is. Knowing the difference can avoid a lot of wasted time..

I don't agree with gov't telling citizens under threat of jail time or fine what to do. Gov't is too alert citizens to hazards and threats and let them make their own decision understanding you are on your own. I would much rather rude out in my place than go elsewhere, which in all likelihood, will be no safer than where you are. Despite all good intentions, this appears to be a knee-jerk reaction copying others.

An investigation needs to draw conclusions, but it appears the affected tanks may have been fitted with 'floating' roofs? If so, the obvious question would be should we not have that type of storage tank any longer but the usual traditional design? Hope they look into this technical aspect.

owners will have to decide what they wish to do... hold on and rebuild or sellout and call it quits.. at tge end of the day, its their decision ... nobody can steal anyone else's property.. the legal documents didn't disappear with the storm.. they should be on file in the registry i believe..

Why did the incompetent gov't negotiators ever agree to this? obviously, they were directed from higher up. if you can spare an employee for 3 years and during that absence they are doing nothing to benefit future of the organization, clearly you are overstaffed and management should be instructed to either make staff redundant or lay them off. again another example, in case we needed one, of the useless governments we have had in this Bahamas for so long.

its intellectually dishonest to say local airlines have to pay FAA for 'privilege' to overfly own country. my online research indicates overflight fees are basically a charge to recover cost of providing a service e.g. personnel and infrastructure including communication, radar, etc. so Bahamas agreed americans provide this service last almost 70 years and we have to pay for it...

everyone knows gov't is preeminent. so, whatever land they need, they can take. simply need to agree payment to owners. they've done this many times before to build low cost housing and extend/expand roads.

One of many reasons why VAT is temporarily at 12%. We can thank all the incompetent administrations, of which we have had an abundance in the history of this country, for allowing this sorry and sad state of affairs. this should be criminal.

i have trouble believing this whole thing was cooked up to get Smith.. nothing special about him. if i was going to frame or trap someone, seems Fitzgerald would have been a better target. i believe where there is smoke there is fire or at least a source of heat. so, my take is police and AGs office botched this. what IS scary if true is the suggestion by the judge that the police manipulated the phone records to suggest a pattern of calls that never happened. if accurate, my blood crawls to think of how many ordinary innocent folks potentially could be in Fox Hill and conversely, how many guilty folks on the streets as a result of that same thing. I wonder if the magistrate grasped the significance of what she was suggesting in this,regard... it may be that a slew of cases need to be retried..

Isn't the reason for existence of a dock that it be used by boats? whats the difference between a mailboat (also private) using the dock, and these people? don't private airplane companies use public airports too? dont quite understand whats happening here but like i said, need more details..
