In times when tourism numbers drop that's when locals with good residual incomes can patronize these large resorts to keep things going. Of course that would remain these resorts would need to actually try to be less "anti black" Bahamians.

A curiosity I have is why the government is so quick to give crown land to any foreign investor but carry Bahamians through hell for years and years and may still not give an approval. There is a need for opportunities for smaller properties to be established which would allow for locals to better participate in the tourism industry. I would like a large parcel of Cable Beach crown land for a hotel project myself. But, would the government give me a non-foreigner, black Bahamian the approval for use of crown land?

Lol. I find this case amusing. So, the issue is he didn't show prices for breadbasket items? So, if he didn't show the prices for everything else, he is fine? So many times prices are missing or prices for a different item is below the the item you are looking at.

We have government workers stealing; government vehicles being used as personal vehicles; government ministers traveling like rappers with an entourage buy we find it extremely important to ensure we apply the law for a missing sign for breadbasket items. Smh. I'm not saying this guy is right for not having the sign. I just fund it interesting that we overlook so much big things but find time to focus on one or two smaller items to make a point.

Seriously?! I don't get this guy. You can't be in a dogfight with GBPA and think that don't look bad. I don't think all is well with GBPA. But, all isn't rosy with the government either. The two partied need to stop acting like spoilt kids and fix things. Grand Bahama is an island with a lot of opportunity. Stop stifling it. There's no reason Grand Bahama can't be the jewel of the country. The city of Freeport is a blueprint for every city in this country. It's well planned. Can the adults get in the room and stop the kids from fighting?

A fantastic performance by this junior athlete on both nights. But, Sunday was definitely a clearing of the jitters and making a few adjustments. I don't think people fully appreciate what this young lady accomplished on both nights. Well done! A high-school athlete! I'm so proud. I'm proud of the whole team to be clear but this young lady deserves her moment in the spotlight. We done! Well done! Very positive attitude towards the criticism. She came back, adjusted and took it to another level. Very impressive for a youngster.

👀 They had a convention? Lol. Lol. Lol. This is a circus with clowns pretending to be politicians. We need other voices, other than the FNM and PLP, buy these folks ain't it. The best thing they can do politically is to just GO AWAY.

Id-yit!

Cable Bahamas is complaining about URCA? Lol. Two lousy entities. URCA doesn't serve a real purpose and Cable Bahamas, BTC, Aliv, etc provide lousy service at a high cost. When they're not doing that, they are manufacturing fees to bill the customer. BtC for example will bill ypu for incoming text messages and if you query they can't find the text on your phone but continue to bill for these phantom texts. I recall complaining to URCA years ago about a utility company. I've yet to receive a response. I guess they should check the Central Bank ok responding. They usually give a response to a complaint about financial institutions as "that ain't my business". Lol. This country is a joke masquerading as a country.

We all should be proud of her achievements but we are not in good shape financially to be giving away money. Also, you reward an athlete but ignore those who excel academically. You have to show a balanced approach and apply when you have the money ro so so.

The letter writer is probably looking for something from the government. If he isn't, he must be living in a state of bliss with his ignorance. That letter reeks to the point it almost smells onscreen. No sane person without an agenda to get something out of the government would write this letter.

Lol. The writer here can't be serious. Visionary? I sincerely hope this letter to the editor is a joke and the writer is testing it for stand up comedy material. When countries do their murder stats, they don't edit the part that they don't like. To say that the figures are being blown out of proportion is insane. The numbers per capita exceeds that of a lot of countries around the globe. If the writer is high enough to.assume otherwise, he can simply wait umtil.he comes off his high and do.a simple Google search. I would like to tackle every point made here but that would result in a large article. This administration hasn't done much. Any statement otherwise clearly is incorrect. The lost PM needs to implement austerity measures to balance the budget. But, he seeks to continue to inflate the expense side of the budget and then starts looking to taxes to trek back to the breakeven point. With regards to doing the best for his people, I'm sure the grassroots are thriving under the 10% VAT on breadbasket items. The current PM in my mind is tied with Mr. Christie and Mr. Minnis as the worst we have had. Clearly, we know which Kool-aid you are drinking. Both FNM and PLP parties have done nothing in recent years to keep this country running. The last vision this country has had was under the late Sir Lynden. Every Bahamian should demand more from their leaders. A man such as yourself who we believe to be an intelligent individual is a collosal disgrace to put forward such a.butt kissing disconnected with reality letter. As an elder person within the community who should seek to challenge leadership.and impart wisdom, you should be ashamed of yourself.
