Even the great USA has a huge problem with their infrastructure maintenance plan and thats a first world country. "Bridges across the United States are deteriorating, and a new report estimates it will take more than 80 years to fix all of them. More than 47,000 bridges in the United States are in crucial need of repairs, says the American Road and Transportation Builders Association, or ARTBA" The roads are also a big problem...with two trillion dollars needed presently for road repair according to 2019 estimates.

Yep Yep .....the Snake and his company has bitten another Bahamian subdivision, just as he has done with pinewood gardens, Nassau Village, Sir LOP estates,Eleuthera properties ltd and many others...smt.

Malcolm showing his PLP colors as usual. Sit back and watch the ship of state get right sized and turned in the right direction. The 40 year drunkin sailor spending party is over.
