This Bodie fella can't make up his mind. One day he is praising Doc Minnis, and denigrating the PLP. The next letter, he is praising Brave and losing hope in Minnis. Talking about a double-minded man........

LOL!!! I wholeheartedly agree......

Tal, you are so pessimistic. I think you are mixing up the shirt colors. It sounds like something Fweddy would do.

@ThisisOurs. I can understand your frustration, but, with a little patience, you are going to be ok. I, like you, am a little anxious also. Doc Minnis is the first non-Attorney PM in an independent Bahamas. His style mirrors his profession, unlike the attorney PM's who preceded him. I don't believe that Dr. Minnis' plan for the country is being played out in the public arena, and I don't believe it has to be. However, I do believe that he, and his Cabinet are working very hard to make a difference for the Bahamian people. Most new leaders tend to govern in the same manner in which they led the opposition, or conducted their business affairs. I can assure you that these able ladies and gentlemen are not resting on their laurels.

@ThisisOurs. While I was not directly responding to your comments alone, I do see a certain degree of impatience with this government in your writings. You seem to have wanted the new FNM government, and PM Minnis in particular, to have solved all of the country's ills in just four months. He has been called out for not removing VAT on certain items as promised during the campaign; not solving the Crime epidemic; unnecessary travels abroad; borrowing money to pay the country's bills; not checking the Minister of Tourism, or the Minister of Finance; not having a Hurricane Evacuation Plan in place since June (a really ridiculous request, among the others). I can go on and on with this list. It is not a matter of liking the PM to the point of being blind to his shortcomings. It is a matter of being fair and reasonable, taking into consideration that this FNM administration is fairly new, inexperienced, and should be given the benefit of any doubt. If, next year, around this time, they are not better prepared for a hurricane, then I will agree with you. I believe now is the time for all Bahamians to remove their politically-coloured glasses and join hands in supporting this government (not the FNM Party)to help get our country back on path again. I believe that our best days are ahead of us!

For some of you, Minnis will never do it right. He will never be able to please you. Whatever he does, will not meet your satisfaction. I get it! If he walks on water, you will surmise that he is incapable of swimming.

LOL! Tal, I'm not going anywhere. I think I understand the Constitution better than you do. Dame Marguerite has no such powers as those you are trying to bestow upon her. The Framers of our constitution would never have allowed that. Maybe you need to re-read the constitution, line by line.

This Contract with Kikivarakis & Co. should definitely be continued because they have been successful in putting a sizeable dent into the Country's Tax Receivables. Unfortunately, the Treasury Ministry could never accomplish the same on its own. I believe the Collection Contracts should not be exclusive to a single company, but should be broadened to include another one or two collection contractors.

While Mrs. Hanna-Martin does owe the Bahamian electorate some explaining, I do consider her almost a breath of fresh air for the PLP. I find her a little more palatable, and less corrupted, than Brave Davis. Alfred Sears would be the PLP's best choice for Leader going into the 2022 Elections.

LOL! Banker, the facts does not deter Comrade Tal from making up "alternate facts" and presenting them as the gospel truth. Thanks for sharing a little Civics lesson.
