I wonder why we haven't invested in any 'Air Power' yet. We cant afford jets and their maintenance, but in this day and age, Helicopters for both Defence Force and Police would be a great asset. The view from above is far more adequate, and a lot of area can be monitored. Imagine how many ships 1-4 helicopters strategically placed throughout the country can replace in terms of reconnaissance. The bird in the sky can effectively dispatch ships to right areas for interdiction. I mean why has this not even been considered? We cannot depend on just the U.S Coast Guard because when they leave our territory to observe other ones, we are actually blind in terms of proper defense. Has anyone seen those '206 Jet Ranger Helicopters'? They can of course be modified/customized for proper reconnaissance for example. Paint them a special color, with proper identification like they did our new police vehicles, they can even be armed in case of emergencies etc. The possibilities are endless.

''should up'' ?

I cant believe wikipedia, credits this man as implementing a Mortgage Relief Plan when it clearly failed. I know wiki is submitted by users and we all have the ability to edit this information, however, Im afraid if anyone tries, the Police will be knocking down their door in the morning for treason.

The cronies of course! No FOI or transparency. If we the people knew these kinds of things before hand many in government will not be there.

dont forget those grands of our money paid in Atlanta to be recognized for Civil Rights.

Very disturbing. We must be honest with ourselves that, Alfred Gray will never oppose Christie. He is part of PGC's government/entourage. They are just beating around the bush, talking about all of this 'good samaritan' bull skate. This is outrageous, why do these PLP's encourage the atrocious/embarrassing actions of PGC? Is he that arrogant that he cannot accept sensible advice from hmm, the 'people' that he 'serves'? There needs to be a limit to the amount of terms one can serve as head of a government. It is obvious the effects of PGC's stroke and age is now catching up with him, he's slipping. This government is narcissistic, plain and simple. It dont take a smart person to see where PGC is wrong, so why does he feel the need to engage himself in such trivial issues? If he is going to intervene and clear Lightbourne, there is no doubt in this world as to why he should not do the same for every last Bahamian citizen in the same position. You dont just select and choose who you help. You make decisions that is supposed to benefit everyone as a whole. Many persons are without jobs, that possess the same or similar qualifications as Mr. Lightbourne, and he could easily be replaced. If Lightbourne cannot take care of his own priorities, how does it make him fit for his current position in the Ministry? This is more proof that cronies saturate the government, and they will never give an 'honest' man a chance and they will never be honest with the people. All the PLP does is cover up their mistakes with lame excuses, and we are the alleged 'fools' that will never ever know the TRUTH because there is no FOI.

They're gonna raise our debt and increase our VAT percentage.

What is the actual problem with Bahamians gambling in casino's? We are banded but we were never given a real explanation as to why? All we know is it is against the law..

Yep, all the boungy he want right there too.

If you think Minnis talking foolishness in opposition to what the Prime Minister is doing in this regard, then you sir are oblivious to the seriousness of what the PM is doing for Lightbourne.
