Good, this is long overdue. Far too many taxi plates have been issued.

Economist says...

The PM would be well advised to listen carefully to Mr. Chipman.

The PM needs to take some very difficult decisions, and clean out many top civil servants, if he wants to get this country going.

The civil service, as it now operates, is pulling this country down, is the reason there is so much unemployment.

Sir Michael is correct.
The Bahamas is known, worldwide, for its labour problems.

Economist says...

Mr. Chipman deserves our full support.

***".... he would only do so if Permanent Secretary Jack Thompson and several other high-ranking government employees at the AMMC also submitted resignations."***

For far to long the upper echelons of the Civil Service have been running amuck.

Mr. Chipman has shown us that he is a man of integrity.

Even though we may, as a people want to go in a different direction, we can't.

Sovereignty has it limitations. When we don't play by the rules set by the majority of nations, we will get punished.

We have been trying to ignore the rules and life does not work that way.

Economist says...

We would all like to know what is in the Agreement.

Economist says...

Finally, but why has this taken so long? This should have been done 5 or 10 years ago.
We could have avoided blacklisting and many of the financial institutions would not have pulled out or downsized.

Economist says...

PLP issued way too many taxi plates. Many drivers have two or more taxi plates.

Most taxi's are in poor condition. No right minded person would want to get into their broken vehicles.

Economist says...

Good job PM!
