Right on -- let's see the body of his work. It could have been sent out to tender, and done for a fraction of the price.

I laughed out loud when it was reported that he had written that he is not and employee but a consultant and needed the money to support his activities. How about a work breakdown structure (WBS) of the things that he claims to have done with milestone and milestone payments. That is how truly professional consultants operate. Show us the Gantt charts, milestones and work breakdown structures. Are they part of the 11 pages? I doubt it !!

It could be the Switzerland of the Caribbean if it were for all of the dumb people created by the PLP.

What would really work well is power generation with a solar furnace array driving an electrical generation plant.

Arrears are arrears. It means money owed. Hanna Martin is trying to cloud the issue with all sorts of BS. The FNM is now bringing out all of the fiscal malfeasance of the PLP to light and the PLP hemorrhoids are twisting themselves into pretzels trying to explain away their criminal actions.

Reminds me of the story of Perry Christie walks into a bar with a frog on his head. The bartender says "Hey, where did you get that?".

The frog replied "It started out as a pimple on my rectum."

Right ON!!!! My Bloomberg screen is full of retailers and mega retail conglomerates that are dying because of online shopping.

Tal is always re-writing facts to suit an alternative revisionist history of the criminal gang that ran the Bahamas at independence.

And spend $20 on a plate of hummus and bread at the Athena Cafe, where you can get in the US for $5.

You mean something like the UBP did before independence when they actively promoted Ronnie Butler and King Eric Gibson to the tourists?

Speaking of Thousand Islands in Canada, Americans were gobbling them up and selling them to the Chinese ... AND ... the Chinese were defaulting. This a story from Kingston Ontario Canada from a couple of years ago:

*The Chinese industrialists who purchased the Eagle Point Winery and its luxurious modern castle on the river less than three years ago have defaulted on their loan and the ownership of the properties has reverted to the former owner.*

*In a foreclosure judgment issued Oct. 14, Ontario Superior Court Justice Paul Kane ordered that ownership of the winery near Escott, the mansion at 697 Thousand Islands Parkway and seven related properties return to Terry S. Dixon.*

*The court also ordered the Chinese interests, which operate under the name of CN-CA Cultural Centre Inc., to pay Dixon $13.54 million, which is the balance of the loan, interest and costs.*

*Reached at his home in Morriston, Fla., Dixon, 77, was reluctant to talk about the foreclosure, saying "it's our private lives" but he confirmed the properties are back in his hands.*

*"We just took the property back and we're going to resume operations as previously planned," Dixon said.*

*Asked whether he planned to put the properties back on the market, Dixon said plans are still up in the air.*

*"We really don't know what we're going to do yet," said Dixon, a multi-millionaire who made his money with a string of car dealerships in the Western United States.*

Which brings up an interesting point. Why don't we have a winery in the Bahamas? There are places warmer than here that make wines.
