Supposedly, Kovats took between $5 and $10 million to walk away. There have been so many “developers” starting Treasure Cay projects, I’ll believe it when I see it. And, how could tiny Walkers Cay developer be spending $200 million and TC developer that’s spending $177 million?

The Bahamas is pricing itself out of the market! The people on the cruise ship don’t want to go into town and have lunch. 2 people with a burger each and a rum punch with gratuity, vat, etc would probably be over $100 not including cab ride. That’s a lot when you’re paying $400 for the entire cruise. And private pilots just had a 300% increase in landing fees!! That’s right-who ever heard of a 300% increase! With 50+% duties and 10% vat the prices have soared. Even McDonald’s in the US is struggling. Just add a couple more PPP deals and watch the prices soar even more. We need tourists and our government is driving them away!

Just wait till the next tragic hurricane when the Bahamas are crying for help from the private pilots to save them when the government does nothing. This must be thanking all the pilots that during Dorian paid for their own fuel and supplies and provided supplies to all the Bahamians.

Treasure Cay airport has a dilapidated trailer for customs and a shelter for maybe 6 people. And, they are spending 18 million at North Eleuthera?

You think power prices are high now??! Just wait until a PPP gets its hands on BPL. Look at Nassau airport. Approximately $160 in additional fees on plane tickets because of PPP!!! It’s time our government steps up and does what a government is supposed to do!

Welcome to the Bahamas! The only time some rules apply is sometimes. They want you to be at the airport 2 hours early and then the flight is delayed 2 hours. So you sit for 4 hours for a 45 minute flight. God forbid your 5 minutes late!

It will be interesting to see how this plays out? Is the government going to require a $20 million bond like Kovats? Is Burr willing to risk investing ant money with a billion dollar lawsuit that could take years to solve? In the meantime, the poor people of N Abaco continue their struggle. And the Meister’s stay silent!

Another way to read this is your electric bill is about to go up a lot. Look at the PPP charges at Nassau airport of $160 per plane ticket and you will see!!

It is amazing how inept a government agency could be. Charging for water when they couldn’t provide water should be a crime just like any other business. It really makes us out to be a fourth world country!

this will be the death of mh and abaco. a ppp will only add to the costs. look at the nassau airport. something like $170 per ticket is for papying the ppp investment. what is the government doing with all the 55% duty and 10% vat. this is ludicrous!!!
