All the past few governments have done is to give away the country and its livelihood to foreign mega companies who run laughing to their banks and leaving the Bahamian business with less and less except higher taxes. Cruise ships must be mandated to stay overnight in Nassau and Freeport and shut down their on board businesses entirely during their mandated time in port. That would give a huge impetus to the Bahamian businesses and coffers.

It is true that the political class has let us down particularly over the last three administrations and have allowed what was unique to be strangled by these monster foreign companies. The taxing regime has further weakened our position, allowing banks to close out in the islands and bending to the greedy whims of the cruise companies with no regard to our bahamian businesses which should be first in line as long as they adhere to past proven models. Also as said, we are not a Caribbean country, we never were and never will be.

An apology is quite adequate.

Good to bring this up again before it like so many other matters gets swept under the rug

There were costumed guides and tours through the forts of Nassau. There is the Ardastra Gardens attraction and the sea floor aquarium was nearby, as was the Coral World attraction. Bay Street had wonderful dining opportunities as well as night life, shows at the Junkanoo Club, the Lemon Tree, Peanuts Taylor’s Drumbeat Club and so much more when sips were mandated to overnight in Nassau

The greed and corruption of the Christie Plp party is the solitary contributor to this egregious farce. I wish Izmirlian success.

The person in charge of supplying licence plates has said that nobody is going to tell him what to do, yet he is being paid. Ridiculous!

Absolutely correct. These breaches of protected areas cannot ever be allowed and full repairs to its natural condition must be enforced.

Excellent. Keep the catch, prosecute the poachers, put the boat on the decent market so that Davis, or snake, or the disgusting number/gaming house bandits gain nothing from the sale or market.

This is a disgusting misuse of power and cronyism. The National Trust assessments should hold more importance than some idiot’s abuse of a very important protected area.
