Really Shane? I actually think a psych evaluation should be administered to all potential voters to determine their eligibility. If you are easily bribed, live in an era long past (see 1960s to 1980s), and are not grounded in reality, believing in this circus that is the modern day PLP, then you should not be allowed to vote. How many of us lament that it is people like these that have landed us in this mess, giving up their vote for so little to hand power over to your corrupt government? You also need a psychiatric examination if you, your leader and the cabinet think that all this smokescreen bull is swaying the thinkers among us. Shut up. You all have destroyed this country and every time I think it cannot get worse you people find a way. Are you all even thinking about the long term ramifications for this country and those of us not on the take by the actions, stupidity and power tripping you are displaying? Just how will we recover from this? We went on a fast ride to hell when you all came to power, with a minority of the votes. Even the pre-1992 years, marked by the shame of this being a corrupt, drug infested nation, doesn't seem as awful as this. Question is, who will do the clean up for us now? Twenty three years onward and you all have managed to undo the cleansing that the first FNM government achieved for us. You of all people, with your track record, should not be speaking. Good God please deliver us.

You know...if all the taxes collected from Freeport specifically remained on the island of Grand Bahama, and if the principals would stop enabling the power company to price gouge businesses out of existence, control their own greed by holding themselves back from trying (along with government officials) to finagle a cut out of every investment proposal that tries to come in that place, and most importantly re-invested a large amount of the over exorbitant profits they garner into the city and its future as opposed to squirreling it away in offshore accounts in the Cayman Islands then maybe, just maybe that place would do better. We are all exhausted hearing and reading flowery words. The time for positive effective action has long passed. The GBPA ought to be made to fulfill its mandate. One of those old guys even was a benefactor of a football team across the pond, a most generous contributor if reports are to be believed. Freeport did not receive that same treatment, nowhere near it. There is no reason that Grand Bahama Island should be suffering the way it is. The government is no better; they collect more than $100,000,000.00 in taxes from there every year and give next to nothing back. None care. Minister of Grand Bahama, where are you by the way? I passed by the courthouse there not too long ago. What an absolute disgrace. Didn't perry just give you another thirty mil or so for that "ministry'? Where is it going? As always, no accountability in anything. Could you and the joker from West End stop telling tall tales about how that place is booming? Nothing could be further from the truth. The only ones booming are the two of you.

Not just resign, they must be made to go. Now. The country cannot last another two years under this foul, self serving, disingenuous collection of inept politicians.

Been afraid since the day this crew assumed control of this country in 2012. Appeal, appeal, appeal. Perry Christie and Crew, your EGO is taking the country down. Country first, idiot, not your damn hurt feelings!!!

And take that garbage cabinet, especially Maynard-Gibson with you!

See also the Masters of the quieting of titles and loss of poor people's property, the folks who "developed" the flooding gardens in Nassau, among others. Or did you conveniently forget as always? We don't. But referring to what is actually germane to the article, Mr. Symonette is quite correct. The Minister's utterances are unbecoming of a person in his position.

Can we use this as a starting point for investigative journalism as opposed to the reporting that goes on this country? Athena Damianos and Nikki Kelly are missed. What do you say, Tribune?

Is there any reason why this cannot be once again named the Nassau International Airport? This man is such a divisive figure in this country, and for the many persons who were victimized by him and his Cabinet throughout much of his twenty five year reign of tyranny, both the naming of the major gateway into this country accompanied by a statue in his likeness is an affront. If one was to change the name to honor anybody it should have been Sir Stafford Sands, the Father of Tourism and Business in this country. Without his genius, the Bahamas would never have been on the map. Why wasn't it? Because he himself was a divisive figure, I suppose. Keep it neutral, and a source of pride to all Bahamians. Return it to its original name please, Nassau International Airport, and stop revising history to suit what makes some among us feel better.

Thank you for this. I thought was only me who felt this way!

I do sincerely hope they knock this woman down, and hard. She needs to be removed from the position of Attorney General post haste. She is nothing but a total disgrace and embarrassment to us.
