I've been looking over the 18 promises the FNM made and I went ahead and said yes/no/or maybe by each. Now I could be wrong about some of them so go ahead and correct me if I am.
-Adopt and implement policies to protect and enhance out environment=Maybe, as far as I know they haven't implemented any new policies regarding the environment.
-Respect the environment as the real basis of our country’s wealth= Maybe, don't know
-Launch an ongoing and extensive education and information programme to sensitize citizens to our natural environment=No, not that I know of

Maybe someone should ask HI if he has ever read the FNM's manifesto!!!! I don't think that he has but that's just me!!

That special interest group who heavily funded his campaign is giving him orders and not any kind of manifesto!!

HI did promise in October of last year that he will bring legislation to parliament to stop persons from filling in theswamp lands and building on them, right?? Did the FNM pass such a bill in the HOA???

Could you post the letter you sent here on BI?

I might try to get it published but will see...First, I want to know that the letter arrives to PM's office.

Trustworthy and the FNM in the same sentence???
That's your problem right there!!! Never can they co-exist!! Not to mention HI and trustworthy, you better becareful, you just might cause a fire!!
During the campaign prior to election last year, HI said everything that people wanted to hear...Even though he had no intentions of living up to what he said!!!
He told all of us that he never wanted to return as PM!!! Now we have to live with what we have......"Becareful what you wish for, you just might get it!!

Well, "trustworthy" is a little bit strong word. I did not mean that I trust FNM now or before, maybe I only wanted to believe that a change in the government will have a positive result.

It's absolutely normal that PM said everything what people wanted to hear. That is a basic strategy in the political system cause it guarantees a voter's support. So no surprise here.

I know I should be careful and not always release my passionate opinions but it's difficult to be quiet when I see such an environmental havoc in your country.

Just to let you know...the letter is included on Bahamas Inslands Info website:
