It is not over yet, but it will be on Sunday. Then what. Before election day. Promises, promises. we are used to the baseless rhetoric and government grandstanding. Even if something is released, can we believe it?
$12,000.00 to come to such an event. P.T. Barnum said a sucker is born everyday. He was right. Piss poor organizing, and lack of government concern for visitors who were duped. Great publicity for Exuma and all of the Bahamas.
Not a fan of Mr. Nottage or the PLP. Still one must put politics aside and hope that his family ensures he receives proper medical attention. I agree he needs to remove himself from the political mainstream, as it appears the stress of his position is making him ill. I wish him a speedy recovery.
If the PLP win the election, Fitzgerald will probably be knighted. No consequences for his actions from this government. Anyone remember his accomplishments as Minister of Education, which is supposed to be his job? Think hard and let me know. Maybe the D National Average, and the conditions at the schools have miraculously improved, and I just missed it.
Those concessions made by Ingraham, virtually ruined our offshore banking industry, created unemployment, and made it unbearably difficult for Bahamians to bank in their own country. What did we get in return?
It stands to reason that they will not be able to fill the rooms. With Atlantis, as the single mega-resort, unable to sustain a high level of occupancy year round, it is unlikely that Bahamar will be able to attract enough new business to enjoy break-even occupancy levels. It has been speculated that they will fly plane loads of visitors from China. That is a long haul, and it bypasses gambling meccas like Macau and Las Vegas. More likely they will pull business from Atlantis, which will result in problems for that property. Top it all off with the taxes Banker refers to, and it does not appear to bode well for the Bahamar. I couldn't find a Bahamian rate on their site, but basic room rates start at $375.00 plus taxes.
Rest assured. If the FNM wins the government, the Commission of Enquiry and prosecutions you refer to, will come post haste. No wonder those guilty of blatant corruption are shaking in their boots, and using all underhanded methods available to them to stay in power. They are afraid they will join Wilbert Moss in the history books as M/P's (or former M/P's) who have been incarcerated.
Lets see now: Leslie owes BOB 20 plus million, BEC hundreds of thousands; Obie owes BOB millions, Shane just got caught in the Nygard deal; Jerome-Bahamar, and the Rubis coverup; Smith and Bradley-Stolen car from Fla. majically returned when questions began to arise; Maynard-Gibson and the stores in Bahamar; The PM 's son and his commission from the Hilton Deal; etc.,etc.,etc. But Mackey is unfit to hold public office. Ha Ha. Get real.
