What public infrastructure is there that the government provides in Freeport?
The roads are maintained by a private compamy. Freeport residents pay for sanitation services done by a private company. Electricity, which is more reliable than the frequent BPL power cuts in the rest of The Bahamas is by a private company The provision of water is by a private company. Westernair, a private company, provide better airport facilities. The cleaning of the verges, is done by a private company based on property service charges.
What in the world does government provide Freeport? The Rand that you want to stay away from?
And you better believe I have no confidence in Davis ability to do any better, considering what he has done with West End and East End, and Cat Island.

Now the cat is out of the bag. These dudes not just trying to put their hand in the cookie jar, they trying to run off with the whole jar.
Government is wrong on this one. No way the government puts more into Freeport than it gets out.

What were the parameters of the survey? How was it conducted? Was it random? What islands did it cover? How were the survey participants selected.
