Ah yes, DDK,
But as one or two famous politicians have said before that ours never stop to consider is that "Sooner or later you run out of other people's money to spend".

Bahamian flagged or not, this ship can still be quarantined.

As joeblow points out, with all the air arrivals from various parts of the world and all the spring breakers roaming around that horse done out the barn long time.

Do we actually have an economy at the moment??

The other thing people are overlooking is the dangerous precedent being set by the government by paying out taxpayer money for the reconstruction of private property.

This is the same bailout the people in Ragged Island have been hollering for and which was denied the people of Exuma, Long Island and many others of our southern islands following hurricane Joachin.

The governments' responsibility is to rebuild public infrastructure not to subsidize the rebuilding of private homes and properties. Now that they have opened this bottle it would be interesting to see how they get the genie back in.

If I were Mr. Smith, I would be extremely cautious about getting into bed with Davis and the PLP despite their claim to being the "Party of The People". Caveat Emptor is a term that Davis should be familiar with and one Mr. Smith should perhaps become acquainted with.

But, as they say, "The Enemy of My Enemy is My Friend!"

Throw a rock in the pack and see who holler the loudest.
Now that the WSC has Chairman and management with some backbone who are hellbent on cleaning up all the corruption and slackness that has been the operational norm at that entity, Mssrs Miller and Woods and their minions now have their panties in a bunch.

Get used to it boys, free lunch over, either get with it or dog eat it!

Obviously, neither of you know Mr. Smith or of the effort he has put into this community including this project over many years.
The fact that the government originally granted approval in principle for him to sign off on and return to them would indicate that he has the financial backing to proceed.
Of course, this was before the mega-money of the cruise industry caused our politicians to get all big eye.
As for Ms. Bianca living in a foreign land trying to grab an opportunity, she is making the best of her father's hard work and sacrifice, he's a single parent, to further her education and make something of her life, which is more than I can say for the majority that lives in this country, and why ignorance continues to stalk this land from top to bottom.

So we're paying an ex-pat consultant one million per month to measure properties and collect tax revenues? We don't have Bahamians qualified to do that??

We Third World forever!!

Dr Livingston Marshall, Baker's Bay's senior vice-president for environmental and community affairs" They're specialist workers."

Mr.Sands added that the inability of Bahamians to find construction work had a direct link to crime levels and other social ills, given that the sector played a vital role in employing semi-skilled and unskilled labour.

Therin lies the difference Mr. Sands, specialist workers or semi-skilled or unskilled workers with a reputation for their hand being light.

Which would you choose for your project?

Some people just need to shut up and sit small.
I remember how proactive Davis & Fitzgerald them was during the fuel leak that was poisoning half of Marathon, SMT!
