The Only Politician on the Horizon that can take on a leadership role after The Christie Empire went down in Flames is LBT. Lets face it, like her or not. She is loud, opinionated, powerful, a Woman, and I'd say the least tainted by the rampant corruption in our land. So not the worst choice. As to Minnis - he found his Brutus, clearly he overdid it a long time ago as Cesar. This is for the best of the Bahamas.
I heard the FNM ran out of backbones for Minnis. He needed at least one new one per day. This FNM will not win. Not with this team. Good luck and good night Bahamas.
Statements like the one of the Governor are a reflection of a thoroughly corrupted system. I am not saying the Governor is corrupt, but it shows that the dark side has so much influence by simple means of cash at hand to erode the government, the whole of the public servant body and attack legitimate businesses. The anything goes and catch-me-if -you-can mentality of influential groups in the Bahamas will throw this lovely country further back. Open eyed. We just had our Atlantis with the Baha Mar, what else does the Bahamian People need to see that this country is right at the abyss.
yes, it is class warfare in the Bahamas. the Have's will kick the government's ass (whatever side it is), the have nots have to suck it up, as they cant afford the lawyers. So that leaves the Middleclass..... hello!!! middleclass? anybody home?.... long gone.
besides the usual bipartisan bickering, the Government is doing the right thing. Its looking and going for the money where there is money. Why should the government go after cash strapped property owners that never paid RPT (with or without invoice), all you create is homeless people and a bunch of undesirable real estate on the bankruptcy pile. So much for that. What this Government did wrong was to announce the initiative. It finally does what it should have done a long time ago. So nothing new here. However, the way it is presented It sounds like class warfare and that is what they will get. The good thing with people that have money is they could pay the RPT, the bad news is they also have money to hire all the lawyers they need. Just take a look at the reliability of the Bahamian postal services and 50% of the claims will be contested on the basis of never having been properly served. So good luck with all that. Other than that, I agree with most of the above said. Please Dear Government, stop the bleeding. Stop throwing money of the bridges and shredding it. No rocket science. s p e n d l e s s m o n e y.

Not a friend of B. Roberts - but this time he was right: Democracy can be messy at times, and most of the times it is for the Good of a Country.
