I do agree with Enrique's comment. The Government left it too long. Now all they're going to do is what they did after Dorian. Hide in the bushes until they get a chance to start again. Can the Government not use Drones to watch development on the island. It's obvious they are short on man power or do not have the will to control it but something has to be done to stop them from even starting to build. The thing is Abaco has essentially been a hub for illegal Haitians because it's close enough for them to illegally migrate to the US. They need lookout points on all of these islands. We are too wide open. Anything and anyone can get in.

Only in The Bahamas could the underground illegal numbers houses open 'web shops' right in our faces fully functional for years while everyone (including the Governmrnt who grants the licences) knows it's an illegal gambling house, pay a few politicians off by funding their campaigns, get those same politicians to hold a so-called 'referendum' to get Bahamians to agree to make the illegal activity legal, get slapped down with big 'hell no!' and yet turn around and still pass a law to make the illegal number houses legal so that all those persons who are already broke and struggling on a mostly minimum wage cheque can continue to give their last to a get-something-for-nothing numbers house, continue to be broke while they stay rich and then watch the now legal number houses turn around and give a meal voucher to the mostly broke and struggling people who keep them rich and hold them up as demi gods for giving back a trupence of the profits they have made off their poor struggling backs. Only in The Bahamas, I say.

If it was up to the public, I would agree but it's up to the delegates which are largely controlled by the leaders. I wish her luck.

Funniest thing I have read in a while. Well played, Wendy's. Lol!!

Living on a Family Island without a proper health care system is what probably killed this young man. How long has this Governnrnt been promising to upgrade the health care facilities and systems on the Islsnds and yet we continue to hear story after story about people dying because they didn't have access to a doctor or the air ambulance couldn't get there in time, etc.

Enough with the excuses. We find money to travel to promote climate change and everything else while the people suffer.

And it's not just on the Famiy Islands either. My mind goes to the Kenise Darville story and others. Dr. Darville always seemd to be in defend-and-cover mode while missing the bigger picture that the public health care system in the Bahamas is second rate. The public health care system in The Bahamas simply sucks.

It's going to be interesting to see if this is actually done For too long now the understudy was just a name to get the labour's certificate. I think the understudy should report to the Mininstry every few months to ensure that they are not just a name and they are actually being trained. Out immigration policies make us the laughing stock of the world. No accountability.

No surprise here. Every foreigner in the land must have Keith Bell's personal contact and they brag about it. How could you put out a statement saying the man came to the Bahamas in the 1990's without saying "HOW" he came. The illegals know they only need to make it here and its just a matter of time before the Government comes looking for them for citizenship for votes. The Bahamas has long been for sale and this just confirms it.

All the restaurants at Atlantis including the pizza and ice cream huts charge gratuity on top of their hefty prices and VAT. Wendy's would be a welcome addition as Atlantis's food prices are high. Healthy competition is very much needed. Just hope that Wendy's can find a way to control the long slow-moving drive-thru lines at peak times. Their former location on Mackey Street was a daily nightmare. If they can get that fixed on P.I. I think they will do well.

The sad reality is nothing will come of it. We live in a society where people will take out a smart phone to record you before they help you and where stories and videos are shared on social media for shock value or likes.

Why don't they just go back to doing court hearings on the islands like they started under Minnis. Fly the magistrate in, have the hearing and ship these migrants back to their home.
