So how many have gone to jail so far? Just the one lady from C.O.B. right?

"...adding a debt servicing charge to customer bills to help it repay investors that buy into its Rate Reduction Bond (RRB)..."

This is very very funny. So we increase rates to finance a rate reduction? LOL

True clowns.

Why don't they send a couple employees to Freeport to be involved with the upcoming LNG experiment the private power company there is currently planning?

Watch, listen, learn, and duplicate.

But i'm sure that would be too simple and might not produce any graft.

Observer2 - you are exactly correct on all points.

Does this also mean in 18 months we will start to get our NIB money paid back? How come NIB never loaned me any money? Guess i must not have the right connections.

This is not the first time i am saying this and it likely will not be the last....."Just because you are upset about having to pay VAT, please do not take your frustrations out on turtles. They had nothing to do with it."

Cooper is raising the wrong points...which are
1) Krieger's past history;
2) Dhunna's invisibility cloak;
3) Innaccurate projections of 10% GDP growth.

Those are fine points but they are not important at this time.

What IS important is that Oban has been given exemption from any income tax, which would absolve it from paying the 1/2% gross income business license fee, and exemption from VAT, and there is no provision for them to even pay ten cents per barrel of oil flowing out of their pipes. In fact, not even one red cent.

That's what people are pissed off about. Damn the environment and the rest of it. What's in it for us the ordinary people? 250 slave jobs? You know they will just annoy the employees until they quit and then they can hire foreigners. There will be no tech training for Bahamians.

We are doing a deal with the Devil but he won't even let us roast one marshmallow on his 5 billion dollar fire.

Cool

Economist....at a web address ending in .bs ?

We should not have to go searching.

"...to eradicate the country of shanty towns; starting with some in New Providence and going straight through the country.”

Porcupine ... why don't you hire a huge boat and make a thousand trips and bring all 12 million of them here. Hurry up. It's a humanitarian crisis!!!

"He said the issue has been compounded by the government’s lack of transparency and frankness..."

Too bad he didnt get Perry to put in some "transparency" and "frankness" laws while thet were in power.

Ya make ya bed - now lie in it.
