Kudos to Dr Sands for investigating and trying to correct to give better service ......then compare when the authorities keep spending the money to put out fires in clearly visible in your face illegally built structures on land the inhabitants do not own and may even illegal migrant status....plus finding electrical wiring that only the govt has...?
Dr Sands trying to provide ...give him a medal.

This Bahamian site should remain as long as the some 36 shantytowns with their illegally built structures remain....why pick on this Bahamian when illegals who break the laws - plural ..do so on land they do not own.?? Plus are not even named and shamed or even drported.....for decades???.....the tru tru Bahamian name is known but ironically why pick on dem when da building inspector ans environment people dont pick on the illegals in habaco mudd pegeon pea first!!!

Again!!
Utilizing so much resources to protect what is clearly illegal!!!
Whosoever allowed these illegal structures to continue should have all the costs to stop the fire deducted from their salary!!

There is nothing that Bahamians cannot do successfully if we put our heads together and do it!!!

Despite the best plans even EIAs many projects have challenges...take fer instance the Abaco Cooperstown 40m Harbour project after construction was underway blue hole was discovered stalling project but Bahamians solutions found, look at the Abaco ChestrThompdon airport that the tower was built withoit electricals and the runway was still too short...look at the extension of Kellys island and and he sand washed away from Saunders beach an solution groins put in to preserve Saunders beach, ....look at the Eleuthera airport that sand and pebbles was affecting jet engines...look at the delays still in the Fishing hole bridge...look at the delay in the econd bridge going to CoB Nothrn campus where the QC complained over the designer .....all projects have challenges...in this case .its the investors money being used...on this project the govt still has the right to stop it.....I say lets give it a try...when yinna na hav mammy yinna hav to settle fer grammy....not a case of the glass half full or empty....it plain broke up an empty.....chillren needs food....people are hungry...for jobs...

OMG ....he just doesnt get it ....after the 2017 elections when the people voted 35 to 4 !!!....an historic lowest point....!!!...

Sometimes it not even worth wasting time to point to these die hard party supporters why they lost as they still live in lala land. Had hopes for Mr. Cooper...?..overregulation ??opening one single account without KYC.....standard procedures ...well what does the shadow minister want??....money launders ....drug dealers etc to open ..accounts....??
Directors serving on Boards have responsibilities doesnt he know that....there is the Articles and memo of association rules for directors etc..?they just should not sit and be bench warming as the businesses go under loans or favors or contracts or crap is done in ....quite right people will refuse to serve ....unless the crap is cleaned up....an there are measures of similar like minded people to clean it up.......common sense!! ......and if it is unlikely to be cleaned up ...you want people to be Directors?? ...if the people voted you out it means you are doing something wromg!!!!.....you cannot continue..no excuses.....as to his suggestion of leaving some Directors behind on the Boards when the govt changes is like bizzare...35 to 4 Member of Parliament seats changing ...an you want to still be continuing in power..continuing the ways that got you voted out???....the people voted this way for a reason...he still does not get it......unbelievable!!!...

...fully agree TigerB....school evacuated etc...Borco pollution goes back decades and many prior owners....sadly its always the current govt decades later who gets the blame...then there is the costs and time totally derailling or impeding any govt from carrying out their own platform and agenda ......

@madhatter......Grand Bahama had seen the best of times and now the worst of times.....yes I agree wid you on the need for family planning...we should be listening to a govt 5...10...15....20 year plans wid demograpics in mind.... but we keep havin the voters voting out every 5 years the govt shouting curruption...cronyism..lovers..etcetc....and get another with different priorities...then dey gets voted out..compoundong the challenge is the Hurricane challenge dat can wipe out imfrastructure....businesses...umemployed and the continued use by banks of the Indemnity Insurances .?.an even one bank allegedly selljn it and collecting premiums and den chaning ways..and more challenges like a perfect storm....we are an archepelogic naton that hav to provide ghe same least fer the smallest populated cay like schooling meds etc...further glaring challenges to protect the poorest,...the consumers.. workers..wid no prptectons as it challenges the merchanr class who are policy mskers who never gets chatrged for illrgal laboures etc....somewhere the no taxation widout representation brings to mind a Republic type govt structure....etceyc kudos to Roc wid Doc fer drivin da bus

1 in 8 Bahamians go to bed hungry every night, .....there are ...now more charitablte food contributing agencies organized to distribute 1,000s food to the needy and shut ins, .......thousands of meals are given out weekly.....more people are linkng up in soup lines to get a bowl of food....the poor and even the rich who have fallen on hard times...even distinctive Bahamians wid ORDER of thebritish Empire bin collectin dere monthly welfare $85. dollars welfare an phone allowance...selling belongings fer pittance.....poverty like never before .....hundreds in job line.....poverty aint know party colours....dont care if you black or white... rich helping brothers an sisters....yes Roc wid Doc is pushin gainst all ķinda man made hurricane to bring relief....to dese Bahamians.... to get ghis project goin ta put food in Grand Bahamian people mout......
