"Clean up costs" are only a small part of the bigger issue. The real concern is the marine life. We live in a country with an abundance of marine life that can't be found anywhere else because of overfishing, pollution, etc. Remember, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill (BP oil spill)? Well...the gulf is STILL experiencing effects nearly three years later.
"the elected officials that lead our nation have absolutely no intention of reducing subventions to the College of the Bahamas that would cause a ‘reduction in quality or level of services to the public or any forced reduction in head count"
"Intention" is such a funny word, especially for the PLP. They intended to reduce crime (that didn't happen), they intended to regulate and tax gambling (that didn't happen), they intended to reduce the deficit (that didn't happen), among innumerable other intentions. These were great intentions, just no follow through for some and the others were POORLY executed. So when you, Mr. PYL say "[they]...have no intention", their track record speaks for itself...
Great Post! Dr. Minnis is doing great things within his own constituency and has always been doing great things there. We're talking about a wealthier area than most but one where Bahamians (born and bred) are of the majority. He has monthly newsletters to update his constituents and recently launched CCTV to curb housebreak-ins, car thefts and other such crimes and this man can ALWAYS be reached!! If you live in his area, you have direct access to his personal secretary who ALWAYS gives you access to him should you have any issues.
Can someone tell my why the government of the day cannot also install CCTV on the streets???? I remember former Minister of National Security, T. Turnquest started this...but when this will continue or has it also been stopped??
In the past 3 months alone well over 30 homes were broken into in the Fort Charlotte constituency yet that lousy MP...gaming board chairman, has done nothing!!!!! Thank God the police have increased their presence...but that area can seriously benefit from CCTV!!! Instead he wants to have a "luncheon" to commemorate what Alfred Sears has done. Granted Mr. Sears has done a whole heap of good for that area but this can wait!! smt...i flicking VEX! (sorry for my rant)
1) Saying that the real estate is "affordable" in this country is a stretch... 2) Saying the people are "warm and welcoming" is also a stretch... 3) Noting the tax free advantages is a major stretch when you know we'll see tax reform in less than 5 years. Just saying...
You're not overreacting at all! The police were only across the road from my friend as they told her and other people walking on Fredrick street to "duck" while they shot at the car. Bullets don't have eyes...
