I want to be there to see, and not have the wool pulled over - and see credible plans for the future. Not a whole bunch of illegitemate offspring who think that they are owed a lifetime of easy cruising and a right that they might think owed to them just because in their minds being bastards unwanted but existing - they preach hate and do not deserve - just because they were born!

There is little to nothing that the WTO can offer to allow te Bahamas to gain tread without losing our controlling net which has protected our heritage and allows preferential advantage to our country. Yes we need more foreign expertise and talent from developed countries to become fully fledged citizens and deny those of lesser qualities just because they are neighbours. The Bahamas is in need of diversity, not subjugation by influxes of desperate and or illiterate refugees just because they are from overbred neighbour countries when we have enough of the same overbred, illiterate and desperate people here, but we need to stop the racist crap and invite in the best minds from all other nations. Then we can rival Singapore and Dubai and get away from the stupid american inspired race/slavery garbage that holds everyone back.

This 'Deductable' scam by insurance companies is only there as a barrier to prevent paying out to customers what is due to them. The reason that we buy insurance - year after year without making a claim is so that in the event of an unfortunate tragedy that we can be duly compensated. There are many other tricks that are foisted upon their customers that insurance companies use to limit or prevent payouts due to customers at the time when sorely needed.

It has always been the protocol to show identification but familiarity and buddy shoulder slaps have been an ongoing problem, me being a pilot and going through General Aviation and other Bahamian FBO's for more than thirty years and seen inexperienced, or underqualified or drunk as rats pilots take themselves and side pocket paying passengers out on the ramps and not even doing their pre flight checks. I always wondered who was benefitting and who monitored who when where and what. Many were not fully qualified to captain the aircraft of which they were in charge and in which they claimed to be proficient!

Sell the facility to a proper supplier/distributor, then those not paying will be cut off until they are paid and running to some government person won't help them at all. They will have to learn to help themselves out of their jam. Also no power to any shanty towns can ever be allowed.

he says 50,000 NOT paying! Revise your math and read more closely.

Has Potcake and all those other indebted but allowed to sail on scot free been rounded up to pay for their bills due to usage and other incurred costs? If not, get them and take some of the load off of us.

Please note that there is NO Woodes Rogers Wharf! THere IS though, Woodes Rogers Walk! It would br good to research before writing as some might mistake what you put in your column as being factual authority!

She has a point. There are many people retirees who live in areas that were always considered middle class to lower middle class who are on a fixed and rationed allowance. We can't afford the Lyford Cay rates either!
