Fun Fact: technically, Stephen Dillet was only 1 of 3 black people to win the Election of 1833. Making Thomas Minns and John Deane also first black parliamentarians. They are just lesser known.

Has this man lost his mind, because I think he has because as far as I know he had the same problem too. Yet, no program/policy from his government stand useful or viable in end the immigration crisis.

You know instead of stating the absolute obvious, he could be proposing policy to reform work permits. So that any work permit given out requires a Bahamian/Permanent Resident sponsor and a record of which Bahamian Immigration Official approved the Permit, this way you can crack down on fraudulent permits.

This was a bad idea from the start to give Royal Caribbean the land, as all its is gonna do is suck cruise passengers away to a remote section where they will spend money there to the foreign company. Even worse the Minnis Administration thought it was somehow conceivable that they could give the land away for 150 YEARS, who in their right mind gives away land for over 100 years on lease. Thankfully. they screwed up a tiny bit in under-selling Bahamians, so Toby got his little bit.

Although, If Pintard and friends had a choice they might have stripped Mr. Smith of his undercut piece. I can only hope as grace over these past decades of selling out, that these Cruise Companies start paying Global Corporate Tax for every island they own.

Yes, Village Road is indeed a plague :)

He ain't a "christo-fascist" nonsense he is just a fool. People who are so adamant against the "christo-fascist" turn out to believe that they are better than Christianity, and their values to be more important they are just mad that people don't respect their values.

Fascism and Communism are not known to the Bahamas and if you like to meet them keep it to yourself.

Well maybe older people see themselves as PLP or FNM but not me. As a Gen Zer I say no more.

I done get sick and tired of both them with the current off and the water being brown when getting home from school. To much 5 year fiascos for me, I am done.

I believe that to be convict of said crime you need to have strong evidence, however what Bishop is arguing sounds like he doesn't want consequence for the offender.

I do find the idea of Marital rape iffy because it is a marriage, if you get to that point (of rape) it would seem that you'd get signs of marriage failure before said action. Even if you don't want to divorce your husband before, if you acuse him of rape you end up with the same result just with your husband in jail. For some necessary for other still a horrible situation.

So I just ponder will this bill change things because with rape it should require substantially evidence to convict, which will unfortunately make it difficult. Furthermore, some devious spouses may use the situation to try and slander their husband or wife. Which may in my opinion warrant consequences for false rape charges.

It doesn't have to be too damaging(like jail) however a fake victim should be required by law to admit/announce the lie if proven as well as restore the character of the slandered. This might be the best way to ensure truth and trust towards victims.

Uh I hope he has agriculture, energy, and transportation as a part of that portfolio.

Because a people who can't feed themselves shall not prosper, a nation that cannot find a source of energy can't be productive, and workforce that spends quarter their wage on fuel each week and spend 1 hr in traffic shall not advance economically.

People are struggling to find good and cheap produce, when in the past we once grew 2 times our need. If we don't become self sufficient again we are only going to keep draining our coffers dry and when something bad happens we end up in famine/begging for food. Davis need to invest in agricultural companies, startups, and BAMSI.

Now when it comes too energy the solution is more difficult however we must become as self sufficient as possible, It only takes America saying NO during a global shortage to leave us up the creek. Although, renewables(solar) is the obvious answer it would be wise to only use it to lessen the cost of energy. Due to our location in the Hurricane belt full reliance on solar would be risky, however we can't keep losing millions of dollars on fuel when we have the sun

Last, is transport, which needs to shift towards public transportation. Although we have the Jitney system, we need to seriously upgrade it for it to be viable. In this day and age the Bahamian people can't keep spending so much on gas (a foreign resource) to get around, we are just poorer because of it. Eliminating it and replacing it with reliable and widespread public transport would help enrichen so many households.

So we need route maps, proper jitney stops, timetables etc, so Bahamians can trust taking the bus. Thus we'll end up with less traffic, less road wear, less expenses, less accidents, less pollution, more productivity.

I pray to GOD please, give the Government wisdom

We should make the House of Assembly the newest PMH Ward there is plenty of space in there.

Nah he is just the PLP's talking head. Unfortunately he'll learn that this administration does what's in it's personal interest first and does the harder but necessary task last.
