It sounds like an ENRON concept, designed to do just as you suspect.

No secret I had said before the 2012 General Elections there were some in the PLP souls who should not even be considered by Christie to contest a PLP House seat. You know what, my opinion must remain in tact. But like Pope Francis says ,all souls are people and I guess I am willing accept the Pontiff's feelings on this point.

Are you suggesting that Mr. Miller should not have been elected for his solidarity to the Bahamian people, TalRussel? Please clarify.

This will be long.. PLP's will be coming to a slaughterhouse for general elections in 2017 at this rate.

Unless of course they legalize marijuana, gambling and gay marriages for Fred and friends.

Comrade Bahamas4Bahamians on this I plead that even people solidarity can take a wrong turn.

What are you saying my dear. Are you of the view that a foreign partner is the best bet for BEC and therefore MR. Miller should be silenced? I'm trying to grasp your point.

Sorry, I am not paying much attention these days to the noise coming from the office of the BEC Chairman. I ain't ready wrap my head around not selling or selling BEC or anything the government owns, whether it be to foreigners or Bahamalander's, when I am still trying to digest what some prominent PLP's think is a logical defense of Comrade "Tax Dodger" Ishmael, now that it has been reported he owes, not only the $7000 on he residence in unpaid taxes for 20 years but hasn't paid another $100,000 in taxes dating back to 1993 on a commercial property a company he reportedly owns? You do understand why I am incapable of listening to anything being said by the PM, much less a small "all but politically fried" Potcake?

i hear you clearly

It is utterly beyond comprehension why ANY citizen or resident of The Bahamas is allowed to run up Property tax arrears of $100,000 far less an individual appointed to be the Government's VAT enforcer. Gibson and Roberts' attempts to play down this gross moral failing on the part of Lightbourne is really shameful but is exactly what we expect from this pair. Leslie Miller's assertion today that government ministers should not have to be transparent about whether or not they are tax delinquent tells you everything about how the political elite treat the electorate with sheer contempt. If Miller doesn't like being accountable then HE SHOULD GET OUT OF POLITICS.

Mr. Lightbourne ain't got nothing on Leslie Miller...Miller owes more than that for just his BEC bills...why do you think he was so adamant in the other tabloid that he does NOT want any of the tax information released...Willing to bet, all told, between property tax and BEC bills, that man probably owes closer to a million than a measly 100K.

It is amazing the stupidity that people are allowed to say and they go unchallenged by journalist. While I agree with Miller in regards to not selling BEC, the argument is flawed. If you admit not having the finances to grow the company yet you want to have an international partner to pump in the finances and yet not give them full partnership. So you want my financial resources but I have no day or full partnership. Would he operate like this as a businessman?

Comrade Honest man you are a good and smart thinker. You know what, over lunch I am going try make it a point to discuss " the political elite of past and present and how they treat Bahamlander's" and later today might come back on this Tribune blog page, to cover points discussed over lunch. Thanks cause its a subject dear my heart.

Miller is speaking purely as a politician not as someone with any grasp of the argument as to whether privatization of BEC is the right choice for The Bahamas. The fact of the matter is that BEC is a drain on the Bahamian tax payer - everyone knows this. So the question is whether or not we the consumers should continue to suffer grossly inflated fuel bills in order to keep hundreds of people in jobs that are not needed or on exaggerated overtime. Privatization would allow shareholders to do the work that government is afraid to do while bringing in modernization and expertise. End result, better service and lower fuel bills. Government could achieve the same result by retaining ownership of BEC but does anyone seriously believe that it has the guts to take on the BEC Unions and deliver the cost cutting and changes in working practices that are so badly needed?

You are 100% right on everything you are saying and I hope they follow through with it. However, these PLP is a bigger hypocrites that the FNM because isn't that the same reason why BTC was sold?

Spoitier- Peter ain't better than Paul. The problem is hypocrisy itself- not whether one can be a bigger hypocrite than the other.

Both are hypocrite like you said, I'm not trying give either of them a free pass because both parties are worthless to me. So the question to you is who do you turn to now?

The problem with BTC when it was purchased by C&W was that the same inefficient persons who got jobs because of politics are still underperforming on the job. The only way BEC will be any different is to clean house, bring in new people (Bahamians) and train them to perform their jobs professionally. You will not be successful if the "Old Dogs" that are currently in place does the training because of their bad habits.
Really this is what we need to do with ALL of those who have been in government. Just a bunch of retreads.

BEC has been run into the ground for the last 60s years...

I ain't saying it is true about the whispering around the PLP cabinet table that has it that any PLP who does not ignore what Potcake has to say, does act against the PM. Wasn't it Potcake that said no more double-dipp'in of paychecks at BEC? Ain't the poor peoples lights still be cut off by the meterman's? Which hotel owners owing BEC upwards into the million dollars have you driven by lately since Potcake become Chairman 2012 and you seen the hotel rooms in darkness? Take one picture of the darkness cause the Tribune will pay you at least $300 for exclusive publishing rights to such dark photo. Yep, Potcake might be bark'in but PM ain't listening none.

dude, what happened to "comrade" {insert anything here}

kmll

Oh Hurricane somethings the PLP be doing of late is likes they has tore out all Comrade left in me. Halleluiah!
