Is the good Minister aware that for every private mooring set in Bahamian waters, the Government of The Bahamas collects and Annual Fee? This is clear profit for the Treasury. Also, does the Minister know what is costs to build, set and maintain a mooring in a safe condition? Does he expect the Government, which cannot patch a pot hole of which there are thousands throughout this Country, to be able to maintain thousands of moorings? AND, who in the Name of God is going to visit each and every mooring each and every day to collect the Fees? And, more importantly, how much of the funds collected will make it into the consolidated fund?
The Minister, with all due respect, is obviously unfit to consider this prospect which is likely to cost the Government more than it is now collecting.
Where do these pretenders come from?

Please read the following article - especially paragraph 5 - quite telling. Who is Dillingham? And who is their local contact making sure everyting go right?

Check the books of Bahamas Development Bank and see if Mal Jack ever paid off all of the LARGE loans extended to them. No wonder the MOW blacklisted them.

Who in this Bahamaland can make it of $5.25 per hour ($210.00 per week)????

Companies and individuals should be ashamed of themselves to balk at paying ANYONE such a meager wage. In the Bahamas where I live, the minimum wage paid for menial labour is $10.00 per hour, or $400.00 per week. That is correct. Central Abaco is flourishing with touristic business, where maids, gardeners, general labourers, and other workers at the lower end of the spectrum are paid $10.00 per hour.

Last time I looked around, Abaco was at the top of the heap economically, in the Family Islands. So don't tell me that you cannot pay a decent wage and still make money in the tourist business. In my opinion, Atlantis is being selfish. My last stay at Altantis Harbourside, our accommodations cost $420.00 per night, plus $23.00 per day for internet. Can you believe that they charge separately for internet, when the daily rate for the room is $420.00 plus other taxes.

Atlantis needs a reality check. And, I am growing weary of the Tribune's 'Secret Agents' who like to be quoted, but want to remain behind the veil. Or, are they really real?

Talk about the PLP taking care of their own; do an investigation of the new employees at the Government Complex just outside of Marsh Harbour. Ask them, "Do you live in the North or South of Abaco?" The answer might surprise you, but will it prove to you that Party People get the new jobs, no matter who is in Government at the time. Same goes for Crown Land grants, Government Housing, etc. Just be fair. Remember PGC and HAI all come from one Party, one by a slightly different route. One even try to get the CIA to kick the other one out. (Bust out laughing).

Would someone please tell PG that them Abaco Fellas still waiting on the rest of their money he tief from dem. Don't forget now.

In fact, the Government SHOULD be encouraging consumers to install solar panels, AND connect them (properly) to the BEC grid.

In addition Solar Farms should be set up on each populated Island to supplement the existing BEC grid. This would minimize outages, and would represent a much cheaper electrical cost.

The Christie Government should move on this post haste.

Wow!! Are you really that familiar with "Freddie Boy's" body parts? If so, is your ring on your middle finger as well?

Looking forward to tasting some of that BBQ. Should be a great event.

I 'think' some people are being foolish!
