Why is this idiot talking? From a business sense if those alleged vacant rooms could somehow turn a profit they wouldn't be vacant. Atlantis is a far cry of what it once was. It's done. Atlantis with the Bahamian discriminatory practice over the years when it was in its glory now begging Bahamians to stay there to fill vacant rooms. Bahamar is the new show in town. They too have adopted the Atlantis former discriminatory approach to Bahamians. At some point they will be begging the same Bahamians they treat like dogs to stay in vacant rooms to help keep their doors open.

It's interesting that resorts in this country takes an anti-Bahamian stance. Everything Graeme says here is really about "John and Jane white Tourist". Locals will continue to be handled like outcasts, no matter their economic power.

Another property to add to black Bahamian discrimination. Thank you uncle Tom PM.

The last two months the bills were supposed to drop. I saw an increase far beyond the norm despite comsiderablynkess usage. Basically the bill doubled when considering the usage. Fuel costs has been down for a long time now. So, what's driving these rising costs. Ah, let me see could it be the private third party company owned by a major campaign contributor getting a lion share of the money paid out to BPL? We have to realize that we are being played. BPL has essentially been handed over to a political crony who will milk it as a cash cow. The government isn't driving the process. The company of their crony is. At the end, Bahamian people will suffer while a small handful of people connected to thus big sham will get richer than they are now. The little parting PM probably has a good nest egg coming from all of this BPL wheeling and dealing.

Lol. This guy! He laid out the typical talking points. He hasn't said anything that will ensure the integrity of this investigation. Bahamians should trust a government in a country where corruption is the order of the day. This guy is a joke. The process is already setup for them to dictate the outcome of this investigation. No one is going to jail for this as the process will result in this whole situation being swept under the rug. Does anyone realize that the lawyer at the center of all of this has slod totally out of the spotlight. The Bar Association hasn't utter a peep on the matter. Not one woes. All the hoopla after the incident at the courts and the demands for safety for their members bit no comment about the need for integrity, lawfulness of their members. This country is a sad joke.

The Commissioner and PM are trying to sweep this case under the rug. The aim is nothing happens here. At best the officer resigns and gets a huge pay package and the police wash their hands and say their job is done. This is very serious. NO ONE is pushing the Commissioner or the PM to try to hold their feet to the fire. This is corruption to the nth nth nth power. Everybody involved needs to ne tried. Don't assume for a second it's just this officer and this attorney alone in this level.of corruption. To say you can make files disappear implies other people who are aware of the files have to look the other way as well. That means other officers, perhaps AG office attorneys and everyone who have oversight over them. You can't have a major case and suddenly poof the files are gone and nobody knows anything. Another big question is where is the Bar Association in all of this. People don't realize they are WAY too quiet. Why?

Can we have this article in English? Lol. What does it mean the FBI have joined the probe? What exactly are they doing with regards to this case specifically? Why are journalists not asking questions to clarify for the public the specifics? It's just annoying that readers seem to have a better grasp of journalism than local journalists do. Can we hire people who actually know their jobs.

Let's be clear. This is a very serious situation. The police as well as the attorney involved should be arrested and jailed for what happened here, just based on the content of the tape. Then factoring in the murders as well, this should be additional jail time or perhaps the death penalty. We can't condone lawlessness. This isn't the time birdy for party politics. Bahamians pledge allegiance to the flag not to a party. You're a Bahamian first not a PLP or FNM supporter.

Wow! Lol. Seriously? What he along with Dr. Rolle pointed out are facts. Building a $290m building doesn't change staff shortage, medication shortage and other current shortcomings. I see that you are pro-PLP in your leanings. Let's be clear, these hardline political blind worship isn't helping the country. You along with others like you are aiding and abetting in the destruction of this nation. The current administration is grossly incompetent and reckless. They are bleeding the country dry financially. The PM is on a nonstop rockstar party since he took office. I would admit that we haven't had a good leader for a long time but by far the current PM is a colossal disgrace. This hospital is probably another scam to benefit someone closely aligned to this administration with zero benefit to the population. We need a Commission of Inquiry into the business of this administration and we need to bring in a foreign team of forensic accountants. We need to see ALL of these idiots in jail.

Association members of condos are voted for by the owners. If someone is "absent" and this is a problem then don't vote for that person to be on the Board. Saying that it should be spelt out what is allowed or not, I could agree with that. But, keep in mind there are risks to Airbnbs in condo communities. So, you could have an objection by the majority of owners. As you know these communities go by what's in the best interests of all, not one or two individuals. A lot of communities are against Airbnbs. You have to respect that there is considerable risk to running a hotel style approach within a residential community. Literally anyone could be renting - wanted criminals, people who may be renting yo carryout activities that may not be appropriate for all members of the community.
