...and the $482,000 paid to Leno corporate services for the recent BOB share offering which was completely subscribed for by the govt., absolutely criminal, we need to know who owns this company and why the government was ripped off yet again.

These arrogant, thin skinned, fat cat politicians, especially Fred Mitchell, seem to forget they are supposed to be servants of the people. We pay the salary of the prime minister, not the other way around. And no disrespect but we are tired of being neglected and abused by his government and all previous ones as well. He thinks one letter and the promise of a meeting can placate our just grievances. We are tired, tired, tired of his platitudes and false promises, he will find out shortly at the ballot box.

Top of the List- Alfred Gray has to Go! He is an affront to the Bahamian people. We demand accountability of this government or it will be voted out.

Large, peaceful demonstrations like I hope tomorrow's will be are really the only hope for needed, meaningful change in our Bahamas. We have been cursed with poor leaders and no statesmen whatsoever since independence. Simply elites on both sides who put private interests ( their own) above the common good, and we are now paying the price of forty plus years of corruption and abuse. I am hopeful that change will come because with our debt, and crime our backs are against the wall, frightened too because there is no more margin for error, a few more years of this and we may become an irreversible failed state. Please Bahamians lose your apathy and demand change and accountability!

We need a commission of inquiry into BOB. Why will the FNM not pledge to do that? I am tired of the fnm just criticizing this corrupt govt, tell us that these criminal acts will be prosecuted and let the chips fall where they may. It is not sufficient to just criticize, what will the FNM do to correct the situation? The Bahamian people deserve justice as already almost 200 million of our tax dollars/ NIB funds have been used to float this bankrupt bank with almost assuredly at least that much again needed to avoid liquidation.

Welcome to the " real " world Mr. Miller. One where you actually have to pay for a product to receive it - the free ride is over. Imagine that! Now please will you and your deadbeat family please pay your bill, I always pay mine on time and I am tired of subsidizing your electricity use. Coincidentally my electricity has never been turned off. Might have something to do with the fact that I live within my means and pay my bill on time. Try it, it works. Accept some responsibility and stop blaming foreigners for your problems.

You are wrong urban renewal works very well, just as designed..... as a slush fund to buy votes.

Birdie, I hope you enjoyed those dividends you received from grand Bahama power the last several years, because there really will not be any dividends for a long, long, time.

Birdie GBPC paid 14 cents per share in July, last year 7 cents per share in sept, and 5 cents per share in December. Contact your stockbroker or check your brokerage account, or if you do not have one, the security depository office in Nassau which is the official registrar for all stockholders.

Birdie we have gone down this road before. Why do you keep stating this lie that Grandbahama power has not paid dividends? The truth is that they just paid a dividend in July, last year there were two dividends, one in September and one in December. The truth is that the power company has paid dividends for several years, every year. I wish you would not use this public forum to spread falsehoods.
