No MP raise in over 20 years in which time other public services have had countless pay rises notwithstanding a regular backbencher earns less that a experienced teacher.

This was set in motion way before this FNM government.

What nonsense. Any salary increase is a drop in the proverbial bucket.

Whist agreeing that the present government should not dwell day in and day out about the PLP mismanagement it is necessary to expose the names and crooked deals so that we can keep the public in the picture when people like brave davies, leslie miller, and fweddie spout their nonsense.

The reality is that these junk old cars arrive in excellent condition and at a price most of us can afford. When I bought a new Ford Ranger the cost was 0ver $18000 (14 years ago)yet the same vehicle was available in the USA for just over $8000. Added to which if you live on a family island and need guarantee work done then you face high shipping charges. I feel sorry for the Dealers ,they have an uphill battle but successive governments have stuck to these beyond stupid import taxes added to which we now have VAT which is self defeating as the average Bahamian cannot afford or wants to pay these exorbitant prices.

Yes a little inopportune to mention an increase now, but regular MP's are woefully underpaid compared to teachers and the like. Having said that Glenys should explain why most but certainly not all of the persons terminated were suddenly hired just before the election. These PLP hires were placed in positions where there was no real need and were not replacing genuine open vacancies or retirement positions.

Yes Mr Davies, that that huge salary increase to a nurse often working 8 -20 hours a day for a 10th of Baltrons salary. Tell us Mr Davies what exactly Baltron did in the way of using his skills to benefit the country and why and old fart like him, way over retirement age needed such lavish perks ? . I sure as hell know who actually contributes more and it is not Baltron.

Didn't you notice Hubert is not Prime Minister, but maybe you need to consider the disgusting corrupt state the PLP left and you expect it to be cleaned up overnight. Just the $800,000 not withstanding the car and medical will pay for a lot of medical supplies instead of keeping an aged doddery senile greedy person like Bethel in place.

So unbelievable that it must be true and the same fools who dance around at the PLP convention and struggle to pay their light bills still believe in the PLP. If Davies was re-elected don't these fools see that the same cronyism would be put in place. Good on you Mr Minnis,time for this bullshit to stop. And these Ministers and overpaid employees couldn't come close to the hours and hard work that our teachers, police officers and especially nurses do for a pittance when compared. Good riddance Mr Bethel, how about getting rid of the Director of Education who is 67 whilst your at it cleaning up ?

Many good points but as a long serving teacher in one of our High Schools , I and several others refused to go into the dark hall with booming music (all in the guise of fun/fund raising day) because there is a difference in sensual dancing and what amounts to sex with clothes on on the dance floor made all the worse by believe it or not young Bahamian female teachers cheering on this behavior. Then the same teachers in the cold light of day in a normal classroom setting suddenly get all moral and critical of the girls for a slight uniform infringement such as a skirt a little shorter than normal. I am not a prude for one moment but condoning this behavior in schools only gives consent .
