Unfortunately it will get worse. This Government is the same as all others, when things look bad for them they will bring out one of the three bogey men. Those being immigrants (Haitians in particular), sissies and the white man. It helps as too many of us Bahamians are easily swayed by them making it seem as these 3 groups are the problem, rather then the Government (be it FNM or PLP) who have contributed to nearly all our social ills over the last 40 years. But as long as we fall for it they won't change and will continue on their corrupt ways until we collapse.

Whats does Mr. Turnquest mean by " the event would likely transfer the costs of rebuilding and restoration to the government and Bahamian taxpayer"? Is he saying that the Government is going to cover the cost to rebuild private properties? If so i will cancel my insurance now and rely on Government to cover me, as i will be dammed if i will pay insurance and then extra taxes for those who didn't insure.

If there's anything wrong they will just look for a fall guy, and then have the police do an investigation for a couple of months to make it look like they are actually doing something (like the BEC one a couple years ago). Whilst all along they really would only have to ask the Dutch (this time last time it was the Americans and French) who did what wrong. Then it will be back to normal.

Fully agree, just wish more people would realize this. In addition the fact that people get a pay rise no matter their productivity is also killing business.

Problem for the constituency is we vote for party not person. And unfortunately we really vote to keep the other side out. If things don't change 2022 is going to be another elcetion of who you don't want. Just wish DNA could get going and get out there as i am willing to give them a chance over the other two parties who are just twiddledum and twiddledee

Didn't say he was the most qualified just he met their criteria.

Because of politics. The government were desperate to have a good news item so they decided to make COB into UB. To do that they also needed the president to be sufficiently qualified. Of course this person has to be Bahamian (for Political reasons it would look bad). So they looked overseas for a Bahamian and finally found someone who then said yes but you need to pay me an amount i would get if this were the US. Of course as it wasn't their money they said sure.

Its been two months, if this is your best then your best is simply not good enough.

Wait so i will be penalized more due to the fact that i pay my bill on time? Which idiot thought this up? I best start not paying my bill in full so i can save some money. Then i am penalized because governments for the last 30 odd years have not had the will power to do the right thing by BEC. Dam just when you think this country can't get any worse they prove you wrong. I've always thought there will come a day when the riots we see all over the world will come to Bay, seems to be getting closer and closer to that day.

And this shows how jokey we are. Yes its only $582.40 but if it shouldn't have been charged then why is the only penalty only that she has to pay it (and not sure if i believe that). If it is against the rules then the appropriate punishment should apply. If its not against the rules then nothing should happen.
