: It seems that Bahamian Crown Land is being used to buy Political Favours everywhere.
: I am glad that the good people of HI are standing up and expressing themselves, and thus opposing this 'give away' of a part of their heritage.
: Here in Abaco we see evidence that strategic parcels of Crown Land along our Main Highways are being cleared at a frantic pace (before Government changes)in an apparent efford to 'buy' support of a few. I wish the good people of Abaco would take a lesson from this Board, and call this to the attention of the general public before more of our Heritage is squandered for political gain.

I do not understand how the government can sell or
give away land that belongs to the PEOPLE without
the citizenry having to approve or disapprove such transactions for any such transaction to be
legal. Sounds like some of the "cozy little deals
done in a dark room" done right here in the United States between elected government officials
and the pillagers of OUR patrimony!
We must fight and fight with a common, AND LOUD, voice AND PREVENT THESE TRAVESTIES from ever occuring again in the future!
Long Live Briland!
