Avidreader, they have the Tribune, Guardian, Punch, Cable, and radio to broadcast these fictituous "test" schedules on. And the Abaconian if they so desire.

Would it not be normal to advise consumers of the tests beforehand, as well as the times of same and the length of outages that could be expected? A slipshod operation, for sure.

Banker, it is commonly known that Kinsale is fronting for Sebastian Bastian of Island Luck fame.
If he and his partner have their way all the land will be bought and sold, so the money can be washed. It's either that for them or put it into BOB. These guys are the biggest real estate developers in the country, and if the Bahamas Real Estate Association were to be honest, they would confirm that. Rather they participate in the laundering process.

I guess it would be better to leave it shut down. This is the way the PLP left it, with Freeport in a shambles and almost all the stores in Port Lucaya closed. The PLP did not reveal sh-t about the Bahamar deal until they were forced too, and now Brave is talking about transparency. Give me a break. Go be transparent about all your own deals.

I don't know if the Minister goes grocery shopping John, but I hope to God he reads the very poignant facts of life you stated, which impact greatly, the grass roots and dwindling middle class of our country. Well said.

If paying for garbage collection, and increasing the BPL bills dramatically in the first month of office, is not causing people to suffer, then it is obvious that the Minister does not know what suffering is. The budget cuts and ministry expense downsizing is a good step, but you don't need to break the backs of the Bahamian people to achieve economic stability.

RBPF officers with a lot of firepower. I hope that I, or any other citizen, are not present when we have the Gunfight at the OK corral. Dangerous times.

Need to put a zipper on Brave. NPO of his b/s.

Great. Now that he is no longer minister, he is confirming what was the case from day one. Bahamar is doomed to fail. No airlift, no far east marketing strategies, nothing to draw tourists except a golf course and casino (common amenities at resorts worldwide). The only way for them to increase their room rental percentage is to take business from Atlantis, Sandals, Breezes, etc. The same number of guests spread out over more rooms, resulting in margin problems for all of the hotels. He did not see this when he was minister, boasting all over the world about the great Bahamar. Idiot.

It is ludicrous to believe that Bahamar can fill it's rooms with new business that simply does not exist. The stories about flying Chinese visitors here are just that, stories. What Bahamar has to offer is a casino, golf course, and a mediocre beach. Macau, which is on the way here, is a gambling mecca, that has all of the amenities Bahamar has to offer, and more, without having to travel around the world. Of course they will pull from Atlantis and other resorts customer base, with the result being to the detriment of the country, and to Atlantis, who have proven their commitment to the Bahamas. This is a slippery slope, and we are all going to experience the slide very soon. The penultimate outcome for the hotel industry, and our country, will be destructive. Government must ensure that everyone is playing on a level field, or all of these promised jobs will be offset by other resorts downsizing. It is also time to bring our prices in line with the rest of the Caribbean and Central and South America, as these countries are a more reasonable alternative to our overpriced product.
