Dog eat yinna lunch and you are not unique in this injustice!
Neither the Director of Town Planning nor The Town Planning Committee gives a rat's ass about trampling on old neighborhoods and communities, overturning restrictive covenants and rezoning longstanding residential areas to commercial with impunity, and without consideration for or consultation with the area residents and homeowners.
Unfortunately, in most, if not all of the government Ministeries, might is right, money talks and the bullshit walks.

And why, pray tell, should property owners in the family islands not pay real property taxes?
The law already provides some exemption for residential properties below a certain threshold if owner occupied.
If a wealthy Nassau resident can afford a second home in a family island, particularly if its revenue earning as a vacation rental, or a family islander for that matter who can afford a home worth upwards of half a million dollars, why should they be tax exempt when many folks in Nassau with home valued for much less have to pay?
Living on da island is make you special aye?

Pintard is by no means perfect, however, since taking the reins of the FNM leadership he has been burdened by the asp in his bosom, Minnis.
At every turn in the road, he has met Minnis waiting to trip him or undermine him in any way possible. This also smacks of arrogance and dictatorial tendencies on Minnis' part.
Minnis obviously still believes, in his own mind at least, that he is still the more popular of the two despite the very clear message sent by the FNM supporters in his thrashing during the last election.
Pintard needs to ignore the distraction of Minnis and get on with the job he was elected to do, lead the opposition.
If the FNM delegates choose to ignore the voice of the electorate by electing Minnis as leader again so be it, the chips will fall where they will.

Check in with the residents of George Town, Rolleville, Hartswell and The Ferry a year from now and ask them what benefits they've seen from this, then ask Chester what has come his way.

Well Clint, we all know anytime you're dealing with politicians it all comes down to the size of your wallet, RCI's vs Toby Smiths, no brainer really.....................

The government is also a big time loser in this deal. A measly $3.8 million for 25 years of rent?
RCL got the gold mine yinna got the shaft!!
Say it ain't so!

Same ole same ole Davis, if you can’t dazzle the people with brilliance just baffle them with bullshit!

And why are the voices of The Christian Council and so many others of those “pious” men of the cloth silent on matters such as these while at the same time being loudly vociferous in their opposition to marital rape and women’s equality laws being passed?
Sad really!

The death knell of whatever remains of historic Bay Street has just been loudly sounded.
With its proliferation of liquor stores, jewelry stores, T-shirt and trinket shops and a straw market selling knock of junk rather than genuine Bahamian, Bay Street has nothing to offer to compete with RCL in direct competition just across the harbor. With nine toes already in the grave Bay Steet will simply wither on the vine and die.

Man, I gatta get some a dese new drugs, testosterone can’t done!
