I almost couldn't believe this picture. Seriously BPL?

"*Balloons are great at birthdays, weddings, graduations and more, but once they get loose, balloons can pose a threat to many animals. Birds, turtles and other animals commonly mistake balloons for food, which can harm or even kill them. In addition, many animals can become entangled in balloon strings, which can strangle them or hurt their feet and hands.*"

Brilliant. Those balloons are going to be awesome for our environment. Someone literally sat in an office at BPL/BEC and thought "Hey, let's release balloons as a sign of how awesome and environmentally responsible we are as an organization." Brilliant.

Disorganized event at the Mall at Marathon where customers were rushing to pay electricity bills with just a few dollars deposited to get a chance to spin the wheel for a prize. Chaos as those there were calling their friends and family to rush through the traffic to pay a few dollars on their bill to get a chance to spin the wheel. The mc with a bull horn in the small space (inside the BEC Marathon office with the door closed as customers enter) and no apparent procedure correlating the bill payment with the chance to win a spin at the spinning wheel. From the photo above it appears that the flag was measured too long as it would cover the BPL logo. The PR money should have been spent at fixing some of the street lights still not working or the lamp pole almost falling over in front Sun Tee on Shirley St which half the island sees daily for the past four months after the hurricane.

Actually not a bullhorn but two larger speaker systems. The large flag to unveil the sign. The lamp pole is across the street from SunTee which should be a major concern as it carries live wires and an number of wires likely phone, internet, cable and rather than it falling and hurting passers bye and blocking traffic with metal pole and wires all over. No sense re branding for something now known to be worse as the hurricane experience just proved when they should have stayed with the same name BEC a product accepted for continuous blackouts. You do nor rebrand until the product is known to be better. Calling something by a different name does not change it.

BPL is just a foreign front for the failed BEC that is mired in mega-millions of dollars of debt with aged and unkept electrical generating plants and distribution systems that are now on their very last legs. Crooked Christie put the BPL mask on BEC in an effort to hide and deflect blame away from himself for his corrupt government's failure to ensure it was being properly maintained and upkept to meet the vital electrical needs of most of our country. BPL have been only too happy to play the part of a mask on BEC because they are being so very handsomely rewarded to do so off of the backs of Bahamian taxpayers. Hurricane Matthew took the BPL mask off of BEC revealing just how bad the failed BEC situation has now become. Crooked Christie's corrupt PLP government had to pay PowerSecure an untold fortune to bring in trucks, equipment and personnel from the U.S. in an effort to restore power to most communities because BEC itself has been robbed blind over the years and is now a hollow worthless shell with only mega-millions of debt on its books and in need of mega-millions more in capital to try and resurrect it from the dead. Crooked Christie can run, but as an emporer with no clothes, he cannot hide from all of the injustices he has perpetrated on the Bahamian people.

**MINNIS, AND MINNIS ALONE, WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PLP WINNING THE NEXT GENERAL ELECTION AGAINST IMPOSSIBLE ODDS IF HE DOESN'T TURN THE FNM OVER TO JUST ABOUT ANYONE ELSE.....BUT FIRST HE SHOULD HELP WITH THE DUMPING THE VERY GREEDY AND CORRUPT IDIOT, SIDNEY COLLIE, WHO CURRENTLY SERVES AS THE PARTY'S CHAIRMAN. NO ONE IS GOING TO VOTE FOR THE FNM IF MINNIS AND/OR COLLIE ARE STILL IN THE PICTURE COME ELECTION TIME. THAT'S THE SIMPLE REALITY OF THE SITUATION AND CROOKED CHRISTIE KNOWS IT AND MINNIS MUST NOW STRONGLY SENSE IT. THE BAHAMIAN PEOPLE WILL MAKE MINNIS THE MOST HATED BREATHING BAHAMIAN IF HE INSISTS ON SINGLE HANDEDLY BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR GIVING THE CORRUPT CROOKED CHRISTIE-LED PLP GOVERNEMNT ANOTHER FIVE YEARS DURING WHICH TIME THEY WILL COMPLETELY DESTROY THE BAHAMAS.**

Comrade Ronnie Brannen, President of BPL/BEC. What if you just keep the lights on - and leave it to Ronald McDonald to spend money on balloons - okay!

Where is the $1 million Business Plan?????????? ............ Where is the financing for new generation plants????????? ........... Where is the switch to cleaner fuel and/or green energy????? ......... Where is the plan to divest of the Out Island plants to private ownership??? ......... Where is the plan to return BPL to local management in 3-5 years??????

I care less about new logo....... balloons ....... gift bags or t-shirts ........ sounds like the PLP gimmicks
