stop with the 'best interests of the Bahamas' non-sense... None of these organizations have 'the best interests of the Bahamas' in mind. They exist for the purpose of creating profit, particularly for their shareholders.

They never came here for OUR best interest. They came here because of Geography. We as a people are merely coincidental. They want the real estate, we just happened to be the ones on it. Then everyone turn round bout 'Bahamas best interest' I'm tired of hearing that PR hogwash.

This is why we all are upset with the Gov't. It is THEM who should be looking out. Instead they do some stage show theatrics bout they deporting Haitian, all the while murder gone up, investors get scared away, and almost every gov't office has large sums of money 'being misplaced'.....

cca exim bank dem don't mind put it off further, cus they have time to bide. It's not their country that's being Uglified with these non-sense eyesore building where tourist should be enjoying a view of Nassau, but all ya see is bricks. It's not their economy that's being stalled either.

3.5Billion? if they had the best interest of Bahamians in mind they would have put that money into social programs and eductation, not in a greed driven "build it all one time" hotel-monster that keeled over and dead on Cable Beach.

On Baha Mar ruling delayed to 2016

QUOTE: Referring to value added tax (VAT) and the gaming referendum, Mr Pintard said history suggests the government’s NHI scheme and timeline will not go according to plans.

...... they actually plan this non-sense? honestly, the gov't often looks reactionary and improvised most times to me....

I think Christie is run his mouth cus that's all it is is talk. He wants to sound good with little intention of delivering. The only thing he really seems serious about is getting those votes come election time, and preferably some good financial kickbacks in the mean time.

They think we're all totally mindless morons.

TruePeople says...

most 'bloggers' is only get caught up in blaming gov't for crime, oblivious to the myriad socio-economic goings on that create the foundation for the social problems we face.

Even when they see scam things in Bahamaian businesses or blaitant corruption of politicians its all quickly forgotten.

Everyone was on the AG little while back for her obvious Conflict of Interest. Nuttin happen with dat, erryone forget. And thats short time ago..........

Attention span round here like it real short, and easily distracted.

Politrickians and Businesspersons alike must love that.

Exactly ThisisOurs. There's a whole management team, a gov't, a legal system of checks and balances. Was building code ignored because CCA was rushed because of this because of that, and then the gov't jump in with the next thing.

This thing is huge, and blame can't rest at one person feet alone

There's so much foolery with BahaMar it's amazing. I think the Gov't should have (if they wanted to meddle so much) limited the scope of BahaMar's inital construction (they have the power over the permits). The Gov't should have welcomed them, but only on the condition that this thing was built in stages, and could be financially accountable (and profiable) at the end of the day. Whatever Izzy dem was thinking, the clueless way the gov't handled the entire affair only add to the fiasco
