EDITOR, The Tribune.

THERE has to be concern as to the content or lack of content of Radio Talk Shows - it seems anyone can babble along spouting garbage and the garbage is perceived as true and factual.

Can the Minister of Investment advise the public once and for all whether there is any economic betterment that can be achieved from the further sale of Aragonite? Once the good Minister has made a statement then please those chronic Talk Show callers desist and stop talking your rubbish.

Creation of Sea salt - yes we have Inagua we had Salt Pond, Long Island, but those Talk Show callers suggest making Sea Salt wiIl be major item of commerce to bolster the economy. If you did research you will discover that Inagua is located in the most ideal climatic location unlike the Salt Pond closed project. If making sea Salt was so easy why aren’t there plants all over the islands? Doesn’t that tell you something?

Many are encouraged by the Commerce Bill but do not look back at the 58 years of experience in Grand Bahama –The Free Port zone of Grand Bahama and the Hawksbill Agreement. When last did you hear of a new industry opening up in GB? There are ultimate concessions - massive level of superior infrastructure and no one has been for years attracted. I ask the obvious - why would anyone want to better Freeport, Grand Bahama, which has failed on two accounts – failed to be an industrial or touristic centre.

The chronic Talk Show callers need to admit are they employed (I wonder if they are as they spend so much time on the Talk Shows they surely can’t be).

The bottom line average Bahamian can’t borrow capital or has capital to invest to create a business even in a new Investment Zone.
