View Full Version : Govt Willing to Purchase G.B Port Authority
tonymontana 06-06-08, - 12:44 PM Where does that come from? Don't get silly on this blessed Friday, Labour day!
I call it as I see. You are the one campaigning for the FNM....not me or for anyone. The same position I had on then on the GBPA, and I am not even from Freeport and never visited, from my recent memory, is the same position I have now!
:)
Nothing has changed with me on that, even though the actors, have!
To thine own self, be true!
Now, you said you won't bad language above. But, now, you want to use worse langauge?!?!?
I see......
:taped2:
You don't have an inclination, testicles, or, idea, to want whats best for you. If it ain't what "they" tell you, you are left spinning in the wind!
JMO!
That's all on you, but, don't get mad when I tease you for it!
:)

fasttract 06-06-08, - 12:54 PM Porque? I say buy it on credit, create an authority to run Freeport as a Corporation, and bring in some Chinese to run it. About freaking time if you ask me...
every thing gov put there hands in fail,i can't believe u guys and girls agree with this action.i prefer gov sell the whole thing.or bring some type of agrement between the partners thats at war.not buying this waste of money company.
Sunnyjohn 06-06-08, - 12:55 PM Tony I feel ya pain.
I was raised in GBI. My family is still there. Its to GBI I come when I go "home."
My parents like most of their age in Freeport came there to make a better life for themselves.
In the 50's and 60's the cry was often, "Go ta Freeport young man/ woman."
Yes GBIers are biggity, but all we were doing is showing how good it could be with proper utility and civil service in the country. Don't begrudge us our 40 year history of clean water, flush toilets, cable tv and timely grabage pickup. We did pay for those things.
It's almost as though every government has been afraid of the GBPA. Tha Hawksbill Creek Agreement is not deep mystery. It is not an apocryphal document of doom. Eash side is more than happy to take the tax money, but we hear so little else from them.
Groves, St George and Hayward pointed the way. It's time for a new generation of Bahamians ta finish runnin da course!
...and Alien ein like we warn da gubment ta step in wholesale (cause it ein like yinna gat da solution ta ya own problems up in Nassau), we jes want dem ta stop takin we and we monies/ support fa granted! :hammer:

All we are saying is send someone anyone to stop the hemoraging in freeport, i could pack up stuff today and live of my savings for the rest of my life but i have a responsibility to my staff and there families, if huber alexander ingrahm has the cure for freeport and the cure is get rid of these selfish families i want to say another word then so be it. i just despise when fokls sit in there freddy chairs and speak on things they no nothing about but like the say oppinions are like azzpoles everyone has one and alien seems to have a buggy load :hammer:
canewry 06-06-08, - 01:03 PM ...Or hire a properly trained Bahamian city manager NOT some polticial hack who has no experience in city managment or some greedy bazzztad outta West End lookin ta fill his/her pockets.
Buy the shares, keep operating powers, but sell the rest to the Bahamian people giving first dibs to GBIers.
yall really need to be real...and face the facts...
this is the BAhamas...we follow certain protocals; either based on culture or traditions...
If the Government purchases the port, it will be ran like EVERY other government ministry: slack.

All of these words, however you have yet to realize/accept that years later, NO Bahamian have yet to duplicate the "Freeport concept." NO government have yet to come up with an original idea even similar to freeport...in truth we have have bee lacking the expert traning...Granted a number of Bahamians have played an integral role in developming Freeport however, the direction has always been foreign manage.
Now if you are able to cite a well ran government "business" I would wholely support our Government purchasing the Port...
More so, the port too expensive to maintain...Like most things, hence the reason why we are TRYING to privatise all our major government ran industries.

That's why, when Ingraham them talking fart...we need to tell them they talking fart. It isn't like we do not know our government and our elected officials, yet, it seems as if we are always gullible to fall for them hookwinking us.
How much would the port cost? I mean we so jonesing to sell BTC our most profitible government own business in order for us to get better management moreso the millions of dollars we can use to pay our huge international debt, yet we see Mr. Ingraham want use that same money we suppose to get to from the sale to buy the port. sux teeth...the Bahamian government was a silent partner in the port way back when for a reason...And we all know that reason. Unless things changed.

lol...
recommendation...
move...go to Exuma...
I aint ga tell ya what I does say bout freeport...sunnyjohn does get mad.
Sunnyjohn 06-06-08, - 01:18 PM Newry,
Duplicating the Hawksbill Creek agreement today would be nearly impossible. The thing is just this side of legal. It practically creates a "country within a country."
Though the agreement is not complicated, it was clearly negotiated by a government out of league (or at least a very greedy one too blinded by riches to see taht they were being screwed long term). BOL!
Wallace Groves' lawyer was a freekin GENIUS and mussey had the cajones of an elephant to even SUGGEST the concessions he got in that document.
Freeport has revenue to run the GBPA as a PUBLIC/ PRIVATE partnership. I'd bet good money there is more than a handfull of young Bahmians with city manager experience abroad who would JUMP at the chance to manage the PORT properly.

This is why we need to know our history...
Was't Stafford Sands, Wallace Groves' lawyer.
Of course there are numerous city managers abroad...however there are more FNM and PLPs who need a hook up job...and they come first...

You sound as if you campaign for the FNM, or, at least against the PLP everyday. Only can go by your posts. Nothing wrong with that, but I can tease....so, BLEH!
And how did you resort to nasty name calling? You have problems, mean, crude, crass and unfit to post on this board.

freeport is being ran right now by these same bahamains its just a hand full of lawyers and these greedy families that are stopping progress, i will share publicly with all of BI a first hand encounter, my company wishes to expand into the biofuel business we have the land and the equipment and have a byer thet is prpared to convert all of his equipment to this fuel source but we are awaiting signatures for the purchse aor the lease of some land in the port area to have a rol on roll of fuel dipensing and refeuling area but these idiots refuse to move you have meetings set up with them they cancell out at the last minute the other project is an aluminum smelting area, we have the byeoff from the government dept but the port is slow to move and you would have thought the hold up would have been from the government side . we need some new refreshing leadership in the port these guys are hasbeens:hammer:
