I highly doubt it would be emotionally difficult for Grand Bahamians to sever ties with the rest of The Bahamas. That tie is already severed. Grand Bahamians go to Florida for everything as is. Just like Abacoians and West Palm Beach.

SO maybe the entire North Bahamas should be offered to the US for sale. Don't think the people in GB and and Abaco would lose sleep over what happens to the rest of the islands.

On Should PLP sell GB to US?

The PM say he didn't see fuel hedge. Sears said he did. PM says RCI deal done. Bowleg says not done.

WOW

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.

You cannot makes this nonsense up.

I'm wondering why they don't have a discussion about decreasing the expenses and the slush fund use of NIB by governments for these projects that give no return.

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?

How many of those 7.2 million tourists actually get off the ship? Do we really have 7.2 tourists? Or 7.2 million people whose departure tax are included in their cruise fares so we say the tourist, though they never get off the boat?

We really have some agencies in this country that believe Bahamians are stupid. How does DIR taxing businesses correlate in them holding businesses to maintain high service standards. Just for them to say that is a joke.
