" Mr. Myers said rather than going into deep wells, the developers planned to treat the waste water and return it to the water table after undergoing “a special process”.

This one statement alone should cause the authorities to nix this project, just as they have refused approval for the Symonnette Groups mining application in Andros for similar reasons.

Imagine, putting treated waste water, aka sewerage, back into the community water table, Mr. Myers you need to have a drink!

You got your subdivisions and developers mixed up like conch salad. Pinewood Gardens was developed by Frankie "Snake" Wilson, not the Symonettes and is one of the biggest residential disaster areas in the country whenever it rains. And our simpletons in goverment keep pouring taxpayers money down the storm drain trying to drain Frankie's swamp
Those people in Andros don't need Symonette money, they got the government, let them eat cake!

@islandwarrior, actually the largest population of tiger sharks globally is off Maui, the largest aggregation of them recorded off of Norfolk Island Australia.
The largest population locally would probably be at Bimini.
Having said that there is no question that the habit of tour and dive operators feeding sharks here and and in the Exumas has contributed negatively to the way sharks are now interacting with people in the water.

And you trust our government to run a State lottery???
You just think they tiefing now, shit, if da gubmint runnin tings I ga stand for election myself, might as well get my hand in da jar too.

Sorry Mr. Bowe, productivity is not a word that exists in the average Bahamians vocabulary.

Unfortunately, our politicians especially those associated with the Pillage, Loot, Plunder crew and their numbers house cronies are making a living, a killing, and have been for the last fifty years, off the money they take from the peoples addictions and desperation so good luck with that.
If the government can dip their fingers into a National Lottery cookie jar we're finished.

@joeblow, I am in agreement with your assessment insomuch that boys who love their mothers are more likely to treat women in general with respect.

I also agree that with so many forms of contraception available there is no reason for unwanted pregnancies' other than those by impoverished and uneducated women, of which there are many, misguidedly seeking financial security.

But how do women determine the standards of those men they choose to lie with as many of our "leading male citizens" and politicians who lead profligate life styles and prey upon them have no more morals or conscience than a street potcake including fleas?

Improved life skills education taught from an early age, Social Service outreach programs and the so called Christian Council getting their collective fingers out to reach out to and mentor at risk youths instead of mouthing their usual lame platitudes would also help improve our country's high level of illegitimacy and social disfunction.

“when will we address the real issue here. Men were once boys who were most often raised in homes with women. Abuse first takes place in the home and even if it is not physical abuse, there is likely verbal abuse like I witnessed.”
You have perhaps, albeit unwittingly, put your finger on the real issue indeed.
Your question begs where are the MEN who helped conceive these children but conveniently abdicated their parental responsibility leaving a single mentally and financially stressed out WOMAN, aka MOTHER, to attempt to do the job of two parents?
What our country has in abundance is fornicators not fathers, fix this and you’ll go a long way to fixing the problem.

The truth nonetheless.
Out of the mouths of babes and suckling’s, even a six year old can recognize that.
