The Advisors and Educated Staffing should be informing all that Ragged Island is a fundamental keystone eye opening national historical awareness of the Bahamas nation Sovereignty ...Defence of its Territory with the wicked evil Communist Cuban Air Force and its Mig war planes...entering Bahamian waters and visciously gunning down Bahamian Defence boat Flamingo. The Communist Cuban Mig planes were instructed to illegally enter clear Bahamian territory that the clearly flagged marked Bahamian Flamingo boat ...was the ridiculous ...pirate vessel...!!!!!! After Cuban jets gunned down Bahamian boat Flamingo...then cowardly...cowardly gunned down down Bahamians in Bahamian waters...Survivors then went to Duncan Town Ragged Island....and yet again Cuban jets terriorized the Bahamian Ragged Island citizens island residents...and Cuban helicopter landed....And yes Bahamas got quick assistance from US helicopter coast guard to try and find Bahamian marines gunned down and missing in the waters....and even Mig jets tried scaring US helicopter.
Anything on Ragged Island developments now and the future must always have chapter on evil wicket Communist Cuban viscious murders on Bahamian territory mentioned to the world.

Very good point joeblow. But then again reality after 25 years of alternating govts ....each claiming other... to be worse and curruption, every 5 years taking turns at it, wastages highest national debt, created legasy biggest widening gap between rich and poor, govts created the legasy of 4 - 6th nation most expensive nation in the world etc.........and fact.... may be that these foreign companies will only touch this nation under certain conditions because of legasies shenanigans of past govts....better to still have some foreign business with benefits to better conditions for people.

While the design of solar equipment is low on the ground and can withstand 180 mph winds there are many other variables which the experts should know which also have disastrous affects on structures.

The technical experts should know the 20 feet more or less storm surges which floods the areas....need to factor in salt on equipment....moisture humidity....needs to look at flying debris impacting equipment....needs to look at structures materials fatigued ripping apart after lengthy various pressures periods....etcetc

Church and State separate. The Churches organized under the BCC should be doing their mandate dere jobs, calling to uplift educate instill their wonderful powerfull lasting teachings to uplift nation, from babies, Sunday Schools and in return benefits from tax exempltions etcetc. The Church is an extremely powerful role in nation building and maintaining society....just seems they have not known each other.

The "work ethic" needs to be expanded on and may be coming from wicked abusive slavery etc rmployers among the mix. Many handymen, gardeners, housekeepers are desperate to survive and take care of children in school and send back money to homelands. Many hard working labourers will do above and beyond to work early to after hours and not complaining no back talk, passive subservient and endure abuse. Foreign workers seems basically captive workers. Not entirely "work ethic" applied knowing if self enslaved worker to survive and send money back to dire poverty stricken family in Haiti. to survive have food, send children to school, save money to send for more dire struggling family willing to pay passage to go into ricketery boat to come. Many employers knowing the them going above and beyond two different jobs, dangerous conditions are vrry generous paying above wages. One set of controlled conditions must bear. And who will any Foreign abused employee any foreign rmployer go and complain to..but do the work harder...???...

There are other angles to look at and judging Bahamians and judging foreign Workers must be on the same terms, conditions.

Pastor Burrows needs after decades....an decades...an decades....of having his Religeous Church colleagues...having weed as a religeous rite in their Rastafarian movement. Pastor Burrows first needs to have conversation with religeous colleagues brothers and sisters in the Rastafarian.

....nib board of governors....need to be requested to give answers on their stewardship of the peoples agency which affects the lives of all nation's population.....so when the Minister in charge last given public report...???

20,000.....30,000....40,000...???.. Work Permits. on small Sovereign Nation ...most populated island 7 x 21 miles and on few other islands. The impact on the nation and the lives of the Work Permit workers and their families on the nation needs to be thoroughly examined. The occasional outbursts are just crap coming from govt paid salaried employees who supposed to have the best interests of the nation.

40,000 Work Permit holders...??? Seems to be a formidable force, majority just in limbo idle hands, floating trying for next job.
