What is historic about this? We have had landings in The Bahamas before from the Apollo time.

So this brain dead Minister of tourism is hyping the fact that 85-90% of the tourist is responsible for 20% of the money spent by tourists?

Wow.

Grand Bahama is not dying, it is dead.

And I live there

I feel for you.

Though I would not doubt that the consultants and all the people already getting pension and now another salary are getting paid up front.

Absolutely.

If the amount was not significant, he would have gladly said it.

I surmise it probably is $99 million. So he is ale to say he did not tell an untruth when he said it was not $100 million.

So how much does the government owe if not $100 million?

Probably $99 million.

It is just amazing how it took this for the government to talk about alternative trading partners.

Learned in maths that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Purchasing goods through a middleman always increases prices. If we are independent , as we like to say, why then do we not purchase direct? Would save us a whole lot of money locally.

But better yet, why don't we look at providing the environment to produce our own?

This cannot be real. The government takes the taxes from the people on the land, acknowledging the people own the land, and then don't want to give the money back. And further win the case. Really?

Is this a joke? They said they will do it and now they back peddling and say they doing survey? Really?

Since when can one MP tell another MP what is is they are or are not to say in their speech? But that is what dictators or people who trying to hide something do. MItchell really needs to go home.
