Islandworrier: did you even see some of the claims made by those who possess only aspirations and not the hundreds of millions and years of business experience needed to create viable resorts? Empty barrels make the most noise. I remember the same happening when Sol Ketzner first propsed Atlantis. Many of us will watch with great interest the progression of a gambling magnate's proposed land locked hotel and the hundreds of jobs promised.

The The dreams of the overly optimistic often founder on the rocks of reality. This is how the gambling houses make so much money.

I stand to be corrected by those who know better; it is my understanding that no sale of property is completed by a lawyer acting for the purchaser until all the real property tax owed to the government is settled. If this is true, then all those expatriate properties do not escape their tax obligation; they only delay them. So, no problem.

God'spee: I do not think that any nib money is paid to " llegal Haitians for their 6 Children" nib only pays to those who have contributed and does not pay out to anyone at all for children. Apologies for countering your prejudges.

Politicians are often narcissists; narcissists are shameless by nature if not by name. Just saying.

SP, You maket he common mistake of believe that Wikpedia is a source of absolute irrefutable truth. It is not, it is constantly evolving as the entries submitted are amended by those who have a deeper knowledge of the particular subject. The entry regarding the hour glass is based the accepted narrative but that narrative is simply wrong. Try it for yourself; throw an hourglass out of a window and see what happens. You will be picking up pieces. But thank you for taking the time to read my comment and then respond. My knowledge comes from speaking with someone who was there rather than an on line encyclopedia.

SP; If you really believe Milo Butler "threw" the hour glass out of the window of the house of assembly please tell me how such a delicate glass object survived? Many people are sadly misinformed due the plp rewriting of our history, it was carefully handed out to one of the hundreds of plp supporters gathered outside in a piece of pre-arranged political theatre designed to impress the ignorant masses. I t worked really well.
