Just add it to the list of why this place is a Banana Republic. Spend spend spend, while we pay pay pay and we are further in dept than ever before, yet still the gravy train rides on. Nothing to show for it.
The governments (past and present) have stolen so much that there is nothing left. It's all our money they stole, and then took out $11B worth of loans in our names. They are crooks, and pirates, and we only have ourselves to blame. We continue to let the foxes live in the hen house, while we open then door for them to go in and out.
Why is this even published? The Tribune just loves to include letters that really demonstrate the level of critical thinking that gets taught in our school system.
Are they still on about how hard it is to get into the Bahamas? Is this a joke that the Tribune keeps on publishing these 'letters'? I'm pretty sure they are all written by the same person. They are all exactly the same.
Truth is, if you have trouble getting into the Bahamas based on the current requirements then you probably have a lot of trouble navigating everyday life in general.
People like John have no problem with Bahamians companies paying next to nothing for workers, but it's a problem when foreign companies come in and use the same labour laws that Bahamian companies are subject too.

A nice padded budget of $24M to build the stadium and now they add on $31M that's a 129% price increase, that's 2.3 times the price.
You honestly can't make this kind of corruption up.
