The Directors must be disqualified and banned from acting for this or any other Company, as clearly they either do to know what they are doing or worse, knew full well what they were doing.

In most "regulated" jurisdictions, the Directors in question would face criminal prosecution and be banned from holding future Directoships. Can The Tribune do us few remaining businessmen a favor and publish their names again so we can make sure we do not appoint any of them to managerial positions or otherwise do business with them. Thnak you.

When you hold someone else's heart in your hands, it is somewhat understandable to compare yourself to God in determining life or death, but hopefully these continuous rebukes of self anointment will humble the Good Doctor's ego and help to re-set his moral and ethical compass.

Under the Westminster System of Government, resignations would be the order of the day, but alas none, which begs the question what sort of System of Government do we have?!?

Education is the key, but that requires a 20 year plan starting today, during which period the right to bear arms is the only real protection self and family can truly depend on. Sad reality of our 41 year old Country, but reality nonetheless.

Well done, you are an inspiration to all Bahamians, young and old!

What about the Lucayans? They too were enslaves and worse, slaughtered! With DNA advances, we could track their ancestors still living in the Southern Caribbean and give the whole country back to them. All other ethnic populations can in turn return to their countries of origin in Europe, Africa, etc. All happy now?

This is an embarrassment to our country! Imagine the implications of this nonsense if one could connect a couple of Long Islanders to Lucayans! How ridiculous, but more importantly how sad that this is all we have to offer the World after 40 years of independence. Even Pindling would have cringed at such a suggestion. Is it too late for Abaco or any other Family Island to break away so at least the "few" that remain sane can try to raise our families without fear of being gunned down in the streets or succumbing to financial destitution due to fiscal mismanagement and corruption?

No one in this country should pay further real property tax until this situation is dealt with as it would be for any other person, namely revalue property according to current Appraisal, impose Surcharges and Interest going back not 12 years, as should be the law, but rather 20 as the Real Property Tax Department has been doing on advise from the Attorney General's Office for many years now. The new Assessment should be published in "The Tribune", along with the Recepit evidencing payment, failing which the property should be auctioned under the Department's power of sale and the proceeds used to pay the bill and the balance, if any, given to Mr. lLightbourne, who from all accounts could probably use the money to pay other bills, including forthcoming VAT on whatever financial service advise he offers. Bearing in mind there are currently NO Amensety periods in place, no one, including non-Bahamainas should pay real property tax until verifiable evidence of this matter having been dealt with to the satisfaction of the Bahamian people.

Someone appears to have finally woken up after 40 years of Independence to recognize the need to protect our borders and marine resources. Reality is such that this should be nothing more than a typical day for our Defence Force. Nonethess, we should be positive and applaud this new effort in the hope that it truly becomes a daily routine.
