That's just another stupid racist comment. Who throws away all Bahamian (white and black and yellow and brown and red) to the mega rich foreigners who do nothing but rape our lands? Kickbacks and faulty leases will only ensure that Nassau town will finally die - will not benefit from tourism - will not be able to be anything but a cheap off ship souvenir depot and the properties will not be able to save enough to cover tax demands. Re examine your statement.

It's amazing how many idiots post on this site and facebook believing themselves to be smart, witty, intelligent and informed when they only prove themselves to be the least of these.

John, you are full of your own racist bigotry. White businesses are still closed, partially open or failed entirely.

Repair and keep the statue where it has been prominently displayed and an attraction for Bahamians and tourists alike.

I'm so glad to be Bahamian and am not black or white. but I'm pretty ashamed of most Bahamians and all those who take pride on being hatefully black or white.

There are buildings which have been closed and/or with revenue so little that they do not have enough to pay the property tax demands. Last year some had to borrow to pay which means paying back more over time than what has been coming in. Aside from that after being chased to pay the full amount and doing it with said borrowed funds a 50% relief was put in place. As there has been no uptick in business or rents in the downtown area, an accomodation must be made to provide some relief until we are back to receiving enough to cover costs - maintenance, insurance, business licences, NIB, utilities and on and on. Some understanding is necessary and those who have asked for and enquired as to some remedy should be answered and considered if anything is to survive. Downtown has been hit hard as anyone can see. Taking people to task to pay what they have not been able to make through this stagnation will not benefit anyone, and some grace must be granted - even more so for those to whom the 50% easement was not available after all that making an honest effort to responsibly do what we could to cover these demands.

Rubbish!

Wennergren's experimental farm in Andros near Fresh Creek which was making transitional crops that were always imported to be grown in our climate and soil structure, also the Hatchet Bay farms were taken away by the PLP government under Pindling and subsequently failed in miserable embarrassment. We would have been much farther along if left in the hands of the competent hands that knew what they were doing without political favour and at no public expense. It is sad to see the result of political screw ups and interference that contributes to the downfall of key industries.
