Pintard really needs to stay focused on all of the corruption embedded in Davis's proposed BPL deal involving the insatiably greedy Snake and band of marauders, both foreign and local. The plane can wait. Davis is part of a cabal that is attempting to seize control of our nation's vitally important energy sector for pennies on the dollar in what would represent a massive theft of state assets for mere pennies on the dollar of true value with all of our nation's indebtedness relating to BPL being left for the taxpayers to bare.

You must be kidding about Bran and the COI man. LMAO

If corrupt PM Davis called a national election tomorrow, there would be less than a 20% probability of the PLP government winning a majority of seats in the HOA.

Against this backdrop, and considering what's at stake here in terms of our national security and economic interests, Pintard as opposition leader, and the Bahamian people (voters) should be howling for either a snap general election or a national referendum.

And Pintard must make it clear that if there is no snap general election or national referendum so that the voice of the Bahamian people can be heard on this proposed giveaway of state assets and turnover of our nation's vital energy sector to a cabal of marauders led by the insatiably greedy Snake, then the entire corrupt deal will be undone by the next FNM government on Constitutional grounds.

This corrupt Davis led PLP government did absolutely nothing about BPL's woes for nearly four years. And now that Davis clearly sees the writing on the wall for the whooping the PLP will take in the next general election, he is paving the way for Snake and his fellow marauders to seize control of our nation's vital energy sector for mere pennies on the dollar of its true value. This meets the definition of theft of state assets facilitated by a most corrupt PM.

Small wonder the U.S. government has called out this Davis led PLP government for its failure to pass an effective FOIA and its non-compliance with, among many other things, the Procurement Act which requires a transparent competitive bidding process.

No, not so at all. There are plenty of effective guard rails that could be put in place to prevent this from happening. The professional operators of the highly successful Florida State Lottery long ago indicated a willingness to assist in that regard under a reasonable arrangement that would be mutually beneficial to both the State of Florida and The Bahamas.

Truth be told, the racketeering criminal thugs like Sebas Bastian and Craig Flowers need to be put out of business once and for all. Their illicit activities continue to place our entire domestic financial system at risk and they have greatly distorted both our foreign currency reserves and, like our corrupt government, the proper allocation of our country's scarce capital resources.

The PLP government should never have attempted to illegally 'legalize' the criminal gaming enterprises of these sleazy thugs against the wishes of the Bahamian people as was expressed in the outcome of a duly held national referendum many years ago when the very corrupt Vomit Christie was PM.

Their profit margins are actually controlled (fixed) by the supplier of their gasoline. The supplier (Snake) actually pays less in taxes per gallon of gasoline that he supplies to the gas retailers than the retailers pay to government on each gallon they pump at their retail station.

Keep in mind that Snake likely has a sweet deal (back-room arrangement) with Shell whereby the cost of every gallon of gasoline he purchases from Shell is inflated to reduce his own VAT and business license fees. In fact, some suspect the insatiably greedy Snake has a myriad of special arrangements with Shell that makes him one of the biggest private sector tax dodgers in our country. And let's not forget Snake's many decades of evading the full amount of property tax due on his real estate activities in Eleuthera, New Providence and Grand Bahama.

We're talking about an insatiably greedy Snake, not some cat. And it's the kind of Snake that will wrap itself around BPL and squeeze the life out of its customers (the pigeons) with outrageously high and unaffordable electricity rates of the kind never experienced in our country.

Well said.

And Pintard has yet to publicly announce that if he becomes PM his first order of business would be to completely undo what would be tantamount to an unconstitutional giveaway of our nation's energy sector to a cabal of marauders led by, of all the unethical business people, the insatiably greedy Snake.

Many financially struggling Bahamians would no longer be able to afford electricity because the greedy Snake and his cabal of marauders would greatly increase existing electricity rates to achieve the sustained windfall level of profitability they are now drooling at the prospect of entirely pocketing for themselves.

This most corrupt Davis led PLP government, which has thrown FOIA under the bus, is ascribing to itself power that it was never intended to have under our Constitution. Under the guise of Public-Private-Partnerships, our nation's vital state assets, important to our national security, are literally being given away for pennies on the dollar to cabal of marauders with no open bidding process or public hearings so that the people could weigh-in on this matter with their voice.

I would submit that this matter is of such national importance that it warrants, under our Constitution, the approval of the Bahamian people by way of a duly held national referendum, with assurances from the government that it will respect the outcome the referendum. Pintard should be demanding a national referendum.

What a loser!

The voice of yet another all but extinct dinosaur. LOL
