This quote just is baffling. How is Nassau Flights Services, that handles baggae assisting displaced passengers?

Do reporters challenge the statements these people make of do they just print things verbatim?

So why are foreign degrees that are accredited in their countries and not our worth something in our country?

Why can we not have our own accreditation standards and have the world accept it just like we accept theirs?

Clearly we not independent, just a dependent on others nation,.

If a tourist chooses to want to ride in e livery car over a taxi, is that not their right?

And this talk of industrial action is why these unions are so irrelevant today.

The article title says

> "Spanish Wells power provider willing
> to expand to Eleuthera."

Isn't Spanish Wells apart of Eleuthera?

That's my sentiments.

Just 2 days you there are talking fool already.

So wait, the University does not have a salary for the position? You negotiate what salary you want? Seriously?

The article heading is misleading.

One location has this situation, and it being purported to make it seem like all have that.

Why is Mr Parker approaching Tribune Business on this matter and not Customs?

1 SO if "we" can walk and chew bubble gum, them how come none of the other things are happening.

2 In which world is Bay Street responsible for 80% of our GDP? 50% of the tourists never leave the boats, so they don't spend anything in our country. And the ones that do leave spend no where near the one who stay in hotels, who do not look at Bay Street. Please bring better facts to the table.

Another brain dead politician trumpeting a dead on arrival idea.

What is the fuss over trying to "revitalize" Bay Street? How much of the population needs to go to Bay for anything? Southwest Nassau is now the new bay. Why not try to develop the other family islands?

This brain dead idea is only being pushed for tourists on cruise ships and not to benefit the average Bahamian or meet their needs.

How about focus on lowering gas prices, or lowering electric bills, or a piece of land for all Bahamians to have their own housing or lower grocery costs? Think for a change Chester, and stop being a reflector of the nonsensical thoughts of others.
