*In 2007, Minister of Labour and Maritime Affairs Dion Foulkes admitted that New Providence's main power plant is anything but environmentally friendly. He said: "The problem of oil spills at Clifton Pier is ongoing, as there is an old storage site which seeps. "There is a need to have sufficient equipment and trained persons to respond to the problem of oil pollution. We are planning conferences and workshops to train persons throughout the islands to deal with spills once they arise."* . . . **So let me get the above straight... It is noted that there is an ongoing oil spill, and it was admitted that the BEC plant is affecting the environment. And yes I know we need power. But if the old storage site is leaking then, get some pumps, pump it out, put it in a new storage tank or temporary tank. . Then all we get is, "there is a need to train people"????** . **Reading between the lines that sounds like, there is a need, but its not on the top of the list. And "Workshops and conferences"????? Get some people in some white suits out there with an oil pump, a generator, and some cleanup equipment and get it dealt with. We all know conferences and workshops aren't always the most productive, real work is. . Kind of rediculous IMO** . Definately something to watch.**
Wow with a name like BigD1 you woulda thought you would be more mature...guess not. And I guess you didn't learn anything from me or the journalist, your post should have read: "In other news some observers FEEL Islandboy242242 is an idiot and stands a strong chance of giving Branville Mccartney and crew a run for this title. LOL .
So its a strong FNM seat, that means we should accept whoever they put there I guess. Give the FNM representative a good reason to sit back and relax. Guess you'd vote for a Cabbage Patch doll if it had a red shirt on and could say FNM.
@BigD1 try not to be so sensitive, I don't see where it's a bold statement. It says some observers FEEL it could be a close race. And even if they had a quoted source, would it really matter, its all speculation until Election Day.
And just in case you need help, the journalist here has provided you with a name, and contact at the beginning of the article. "By khrisna virgil - #kvirgil@tribunemedia.net"
Sounds like the FNM is over confident and perhaps nonchalant, but Ben is actually willing to fight for the seat, and provide a bit of insight on his views, challenges, and mission. Would like to see the same for all parties, no matter the constituency.
P.s. Honda's getting stolen from Village Road like mad.
