Just enforce the PROPER wearing of masks, enforce public social distancing, no large gatherings! Lack of enforcement by authorities, of those 3 simple things are what has allowed the spike of cases on the island since the last lockdowns!!!!

Pretty sure banks in Canada did not lose correspondent banking relationships with US or European banks when Canada legalized marijuana.

By mail??? Bwahahahaha! I just received my November2019 and December 2019 bank statements this past Tuesday! Nothing can be reliably done by mail, especially in the Family Islands. Anybody who thinks this withdrawl of brick-and-morter bank branches, especially from the Family Islands, is a non-issue let alone a positive thing is completely lacking in critical thinking skills and lacks the ability to foresee the consequences.

Not to mention the fact that the Real Property Tax website still isn't working correctly and the department hasn't uploaded this years new tax bills. Kind of difficult to pay your taxes when yyou don't have a bill and the site is broken. SMH!

Considering how badly their service quality has dropped in the past year I find this surprising. Here in Eleuthera the service is no better than BTC, especially their WiFi...which has slowed to snail-like speeds.

The Disney plan will do virtually nothing for Eleuthera or its economy. A few well placed locals will make some money during the construction phase and upon completion of the construction a few more will get low-paying toilet-cleaning and beach-raking jobs without benefits. Meanwhile a natural spot of extreme beauty will be destroyed and turned into a carnival ground that will never be able to be repaired or made whole again. Anybody who thinks otherwise has no clue how the cruise-lines operate,has not bothered to look at Princess Cay just down the road or the other private cruise islands in the country and just have their heads buried in the sand.

Except the beach and the ameneties won’t won’t be available to all Bahamians. As for a certain number of well paying jobs guaranteed to Eleutherans,year round??? Disney will promise that until a year after the facility is opened....then a few menial jobs is it.

They were wasting their time, the decision has been made, adisney is getting the go-ahead.

150 jobs???? Bwahahahaha! More like 25-50 toilet-cleaning jobs.

OmG....the 30,000 signature poll was not paid for unlike this paid by Disney poll. What is interesting is that a poll conducted by the Tribune showed over 70% against Disney, another poll conducted by this paper showed over 70% against Disney and we have the 30,000 signature against Disney....kind of funny how the only poll that is for Disney was paid for by Disney....ya gots to wonder! And OMG, you’re still doing your black-crab act against Shaun Ingraham and one Eleuthera, one has to wonder what exactly he did to offend you...he didn’t give your aunties son a job perhaps.
