Too little, and too late. Especially after the publicity stunt organized by the PLP at the Town meeting of same.

The AG is only playing lip service since she was probably "told" to apologize by her "boss".

This whole affair is disgraceful and the MP's attending the meeting of apology all need to be fired IMMEDIATELY!! They have displayed their total incompetence and disregard for the people. If they were employed in the private sector, they would have fired.

Just put all those who hoodwinked the Marathon residents in a room and pour the gas on them

Great post but the yellow shirts will continue to sell their soul for a new microwave come the next election. They are beyond help because their party has deliberately kept their education as a low priority. Education frees the mind and allows the people to understand that they deserve better than they are getting from their representatives.

I guess they would've had to come up with something else of the sort if they thought they could hide the amount of people feeling sick.

Just when you think this administration cannot sink any lower we have this disgraceful charade. The PLP is morally bankrupt from the top to the bottom. Heaven help this country!

That town meeting last night took us back to the goon squad days of the Pindling regime ............... it proves that the PLP has not changed its mercenary intimidating ways

Intimidating always and forever

Last night showed how far these morally bankrupt M.P.s will go to stay in power. That is all that matters to people like Frizgerald, staying in power. How the man could turn the town hall into a political rally is disgusting to say the least. It's all about him and the PLP, to hell with the people. Truly shameful!

Between the admissions made in the recently released Government Statement on this matter, and the admissions made by the so called 'apologizers' mentioned in the above article, Allyson Maynard-Gibson should be made to resign or completely step aside from the AG's Office so that an impartial assessment can be made by a suitably qualified independent prosecutor as to whether criminal charges should be filed against certain individuals. It seems quite clear now that certain high ranking government officials not only knew or ought to have known about the very serious health and life-threatening issues involved here, and not only failed to act expeditiously to protect (as much as possible) the health and safety of the Marathon residents and the value of their property, but these officials instead wantonly orchestrated the delay and/or cover up of vital information that could and should have been used to help save lives. Some may have already perished and undoubtedly others will too at a later time as a result of their unnecessary suffering of prolonged exposure to the toxic chemicals that remain in the soil and ground water. The grave misconduct of those key government officials who seem to have played a very deliberate role in orchestrating the delay and/or cover of the information and proper actions that should been taken very possibly rises to the level of serious criminal offenses. The entire matter warrants a full and proper investigation led by an independent special prosecutor who is completely free of ties to the Christie Administration and the Office of The Attorney General. We cannot have Bahamians needlessly dying because a select few privileged individuals consider it to be either politically expedient or in their own self-interest to do so.

The willful suppression from the public of reports and information about the serious health consequences of this particular matter has no doubt greatly contributed to many Bahamians in the Marathon area being exposed to the toxic cancer-causing chemicals for a much longer period then they might otherwise have been. Many families in the Marathon area resort to drinking well water because Water & Sewerage often cannot provide the reliable source of potable water they require and they are unable, in these hard economic times, to afford buying bottled water. These are well known facts. What has been allowed to happened here to the health and well-being of so many Bahamians, and to their property values, is, well... simply unconscionable and beyond comprehension! Does our AG have a conscience? As for Christie, we have him promising new legislation and a costly new government department as if the matter is not already well addressed by existing laws and regulations. No Mr. Christie, we just need for you and your government to enforce our existing well established laws as they relate to this matter....please, no more rambling political excuses and shuffling delay... just do what you swore to uphold and do as PM for all Bahamians.

Question is, who is the one all Rubis stressed out? The Comrade Madame AG's apology to the residents of Marathon for the “stress and concern” caused by the spill - comes just 14 days after she it was reported she had suggested in her capacity as AG, that the release of the Black & Veatch report into the fuel spill - "had NOT been delayed?" Ask what AG is apologizing for?

Oh sure, that's what diseases, some terminal, are called... "stress".

**.............. Oh, what a tangled web we weave. When first we practise to deceive ! ................**

The AG has lost all credibility in the eyes of educated Bahamians.

"Stress"? People are dead.

She is trying to appear educated and diplomatic, and fails miserably. What an absolute, utter disgrace and embarrassment this woman is. The whole party too.

I have to say the disrespect of some members of the Parliament and Government for life is beyond comprehension. It feels like we are a Nation split in two parts.

Is this women serious? We NOW appoint someone? I would call this a disaster!

Was the Comrade Madame AG unwillingly hoodwinked into speaking at what had all the appearances of an obviously PLP politically organized and ran Town Hall campaign event last night?
On another note, If reports are correct that many police cars were present last night, why so many? To protect the residents - from whom? What about bus loads people arriving early to occupy seating intended for Marathon residents? Lots unanswered questions what went on last night and who really organized it?

Where are all our priests and preachers? Where are the morale and religious leaders in this country, that fill 50 pages of your yellow pages?

Is this really about the late report ?! I think it's about having not a peep on the evening news saying there was a spill, spread cannot be approximated but the station has closed down , residents immediately nearby are warned to boil or avoid water until further details. Simple as that.

> and create the Department of Environmental Planning and Protection.

but we were going to drill before having a board like this? What could Dorsett's regulations possibly be based on?

Has anyone noticed how much our AG resembles the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz? What an awful shameless unconscionable dreadful looking creature we have in our midsts solely by virtue of nepotism at its very worst!

.. and witches are to burned at the stake ............ LMAO!!!!!!!
