It is the press that has allowed local businessman Jeff Butler to write long letters for publication taking on companies and seemingly defending his right to live by his own rules.<\/p>\n
It is the press, the lazy press, that took Jeff Butler’s views as a disgruntled tenant and made it a headline story without thorough investigative reporting.<\/p>\n
And now the man who has had former employees publicly begging for justice and suppliers reportedly chasing dreams, is at it again selling himself as the good corporate citizen.<\/p>\n
The media seems hooked on Butler and the Department of Labour and the courts have yet, in my opinion, to deal with Jeff Butler quick and tough enough.<\/p>\n
For all his public crying and countless Bahamian flags waving at his business site, Jeff Butler, from my observation, has operated in a selfish manner and continues to be protected.<\/p>\n
I am pleased persons have found the courage to speak out against him. I hope the Government, the Grand Bahama Port Authority, and the media would handle Jeff Butler like every other Bahamian business person.<\/p>\n
From where I sit, one man has gotten away with too much and cried wolf too many times. Enough is enough.<\/p>\n
