No. You have to sue the farmer for growing the banana. Sure Davis would join in the suit.

How do you blame the gun manufacturers for the illegal arms in the Bahamas?

This whole article raises all sorts of questions.

What is consistently provide 1200 construction jobs? Especially when in the first quarter the number is only 300?

What is flood mitigation system? A place that in every storm will flood due to location, how will they mitigate flood?

How will this hub cargo be something people want? Why fly from South America or Europe and stop in Grand Bahamas, when you can fly just 15 more minutes and be right in the US?

Tired of the political garbage talk that makes no sense.

The solution will be again to drop an increase of prices on the people.

Hope folks who voted for the NEW Day enjoying getting taxed into oblivion.

Exactly.

What kind of person approves a project, then say he don't know what it will look like, Department of Environmentalism had to approve that.

So how has all this tourist arrivals helped the cost of living to decrease, and how much of the money has been passed on to Bahamians?
