I totally agree with the first part but I am sure the last comment is said tongue in cheek.

I have a BTC house phone which rarely works especially after rain. My cell calls are ofren dropped. Not employees fault just like W and S lack of investment just the third world attitude of spend and waste.

Most principals were not promoted on ability and a good Principal is hard to find. They suddenly know everything and often will take no advice or suggestions as they see it as a threat to their authority. Staff meetings are replaced by so called staff briefings meahjng I tell you what will happen and you do not ask questions. One current Principal in the system failed teacher training, was moved out of his chosen teaching area because of incompetance and still was rapidly promoted.

Oh yes Birdie hide everything. Come to Palmetto Point and the huge mountain of curry excavated at great cost to provide a level surface for the " hospital". Not only that but it was purchased from a prominant ex PLP minister when clear title is now under debate. Of course no hospital., no tenders, mind you lots of ground breakings at the taxpayers expense. Remember the old adage " to forget history is to repeat history".

Anothet scam is the use of a friends name who is stuck abroad had all their possesions stolen and needing the cash to get home.Then consider these televangelists begging money and living like Kings. Petet Popoff advertizes on TV with his miracle spring water. Absolutely free. No its not you are then on his mailing list for begging letters. What is even more interesting is that this scammer has been bankrupt, investigated by the FBI and proven to use a hidden earpiece when able to diagnose a person in the audience that his wife had questioned. . They are greasy well oiled scam artists. Just like the others

Try Eleuthera where total or partial lack of water is so regular that one greets H2O coming out of the tap like a long lost friend. And the local manager is nowhere to be seen .

Keep going with your anti foreigner attitude. You deliberately minimize the benefits of foreign owned and operated businesses. On Eleuthera Pinaepple fields and Tippys give a great deal to the community and spend a hell of a lot on tradespeople, staff and worthwhile causes. 1648 or French leave is a professional business that employs all Bahmians who are excellent at their jobs. All the substantial construction which is ongoing was done to the highest standard by a totally owned and managed Bahamian construction company. Windermere employs many from maids ,local landscaping companies, club staff and the list goes on and on.Ironically the least sucessful hotel restaurant is totally Bahamian owned. Ask most tradespeople and they will say they like working for foreign home owners or companies because they get paid and paid on time. You conveniently forget Buckaneer, Daddy Joes,Sammys, and many other Bahamian owned and run restaurants that are sucessful. Eleuthera woild be a basket case without all the foeriegn income and involvement.

Brave you obviously have memory loss. Your corrupt lot hired over 2000 persons just before the election when there were no positions and simply to garner votes. Job losses are tragic yes but most ministries are still way over staffed and paid for by our taxes. Still you have to find something to bitch about in a vain attempt to claw back any credibility for the PLP. If you had been re elected then the country would be in an almost bankrupt spiral

I agree but but the Finance Minister must have a desk.

The corrupt and politically inefficient tax system of the Bahamas since independence have left the country in a position of high taxation and high prices. For years I observed a prominent PLP Cabinet Minister and his wife sail through customs only for the next person in line to be searched and pay duty. Merchants are saddled with taxes at every corner, high power bills and have to pass it on. Shopping in Mia is always cheaper and high taxes encourage the public to defraud the government.
