Christie: Boosting Private Sector Will Bring Jobs, You mean investing in already failing companies would bring jobs...ok

The " Direct forms of Bahamian investment to create more jobs" is what scares me. They are most likely only going to invest in their supporters. As a way of showing "good faith". Its like the reverse of a super PAC American politics seems to be fond of, and they are covering up lobbying as "job stimulation." Granted they could really be trying to make jobs and probably make a few hundred maybe even a few thousand if their lucky, but it sounds very biased on who they are choosing. There are tons of start ups and great business models out there that can be explored but Christie and Hubert was stuck on making the big companies bigger leaving no room for diversity, and hindering economic growth. We shall see how this plays out my money is betting it will barely breakeven

Minnis: Government Must Decide On Oil Oh really? When do we ever get a say?

I think Mr. Minnis realizes that if they hold a public vote they will be in less control of all the variables. For instance lets say the deal they are proposed from the oil company ensures Bahamian workers but less money for the government? Then the public would certainly vote for it to pass but the government could potentially LOSE money for the first 5+ years, and that's a blow we really can't afford. There is a flip side this could be profitable for Bahamians and Government (I think of them as separate entities because Bahamians usually get the short end of the stick) but if they hold a public vote it would actually give the people some power and God forbid that happens! I think Mr. Minnis just wants the government to have all the say possibly for shady reasons? Only time will tell where this is going.
