"*Persons were reaching out to me to see if they can get the domes after persons moved out, but we’re unable to release them. We can’t utilise them because of the conditions of them*"
Do we elect dummies?
I still remember the first article published about these "domes". There was a picture posted along with the article to which I commented, "*these are igloos, meant for the artic, can they withstand our temperarure*?"
Did anybody in the Minnis govt ask the obvious question?
well.... there's the oil spill and the 8yr old boy bitten with sharks. Which island was it where the tour boat exploded? Did that happen in Nassau or Out Island?
Where exactly did this 70yr old die of COVID? Was he in clinic, waiting transfer to Nassau? When was he diagnosed? Did someone do daily checkups with him? I dont think any 70yr old tourist should be dying of COVID in their hotel room. If they were that sick the arrangements should have been made to transfer them to hospital, somewhere. I hope nobody sent him home and told him to take a few Tylenol and call back in 2 days.
**All of these incidents point to extremely poor oversight of everything**. Exuma getting caught but its probably everywhere.
"*spoke with the minister of works about the matter. Without a definite plan, I was told that once the 600 feet test well is finished, work should commence ‘shortly thereafter.’”*
What does he mean without a definite plan? Shouldnt there be a plan if they're going to invest upwards of 10 million? The plan starts with the budget and timeline for the test well, then the plan says without this test well we experience x amount of flooding with y inches of rain in area-a through area-c. The test well will take 2 months to build. The test well is built to hold so many gallons of water. Here are the quality standards for the well: it should be surrounded by a fence, the fence should be 9ft tall, the base of the fence should be secured by concrete, there should be 5 danger of drowning signs around the well etc etc. If our plan functions as expected with the defined volume of rain, we should see flooding eliminated in area-a through area-c. We will then build 4 more wells for area-d through area-f to add to the test pool. Within a year we expect to have 10 built. If the test of the first well does not go as planned we will examine the results and adjust. This process should take 3 months. That's a plan. It may not be the best or most effective but it's a plan. It's a starting, living directive for a path to success.
This is a tough one. The recommendation was that the Island had suffered such severe damage that it not be repopulated. But no doubt, if those 60 persons had not claimed their birthright, some realtor would be now be saying how wonderfully things were going and would be adding multimillion dollar revenue from their sale of Ragged Island to a foreign entity.
At some point the govt made a policy decision to reinvest in Ragged Island. So this is bad:
"*According to residents on the island, Friday was the first time ... the MP for the island, Chester Cooper have visited for the year.*"... its August. Unlike other constituencies, I think these people do need to see their representative.... unless, so many things are happening that they have no doubt they havent been forgotten.
**of course its the work of the wholesaler and they are still overcharging. The price of gas has been steadily going down for 2 months. It is currently down 2 dollars. locally we've ONLY seen a reduction of 40 cents**
