Are y'all serious? Tribune, come on! Please stop printing these crappy stories about Mount Tabor because frankly, this honor has more to do with his political affiliation than anything else. There are many Bahamians that have no respect for this guy, and certainly not for Neil Ellis of Mount Tabor. "Work for the Nation" huh? please!!! what a joke! These guys are all about lining their pockets, nothing more.

Has to be a joke.. Wasn't that huge flood affecting Pineward Gardens just this year? I suppose we can now expect Neil Ellis will get his knighthood sometime before 2017. The way they continue to pat each other on the back while the country slides toward the cliff edge is amazing.
