$55,000 plus perks for a part time job, is this on top of a pension ?

Wish on. Accounting of any sort from school funds , fund raising events and Government expenditure is a dirty word.

No supporter of Christie and the damage he has done but that comment is nasty and not warranted especially coming from a supposed Christian.

The PM and his followers visited central Eleuthera on Wednesday to assess what? They looked at the sink hole on the road leading to Cupids Cay which was damaged way before the Hurricane then visited the site of the proposed new hospital in Palmetto Point and then had lunch at a local restaurant where I am told over 80 people got their noses in the trough. Apart from the cost of such trips are there not more important islands (Andros/Freeport) that need his undivided attention.

Funny counry this, love donations from other countries of equipment, cash from winter residents to allow voluntary groups such as family island ambulances and fire engines to operate, assistance from free dental groups, supplies to the clinics but "we don't want foreigners". Get real Mr Miller this tiny tiny country needs all the help it can get and can easily be by passed by more efficient countries. Most developed countries have long realised that one or more qualified individuals from whatever country can often run local industries efficiently and therefore provide more jobs. If devaluation and downgrading occur which is looking more likely you better hope Mr Miller that you and your mindless cronies know where turn for help.

Has he paid his BEC bills yet ?

Jobs will be given to the party faithful, there will be no estimates or competitive bidding and as for accountability, these guys couldn't get pay for a round of drinks without loosing track of the cost. Carnival-looses money two years on the trot but now we hear it was never intended to make a profit, and the list goes on and on and on.

Absolutely a bunch of amateurs running this country. They should have been prepared years ago given the geographical location of the Bahamas. I bet that there will still be no clear cut draconian plan to get things back on track. What a pity that grass root Bahamians have absolutely no idea of the precipice that this country balances on and how todays expensive cost of living will seem cheap compared to what will happen with devaluation and downgrading. Unfortunately the politicians use this ignorance to their advantage.

On the other hand surely responsible adults and professionals like teachers should be able to adjust their spending and borrowing within sensible limits but to often they purchase to have that shiny new expensive car or the annual cruise before paying their bills. Granted easy loans cater to the less fiscally minded but the banks can't be entirely blamed for consumer overspending.

You have to laugh at the pious tv appearances by the PM and others with their sad faces and please for donations and financial help when they are reaping what they have sown with blatant mismanagement of the public funds,and no accountability , then expect the business community and public to bail them out. And guess what, of all the excellent suggestions listed by Mr Gibson the PM and his cronies will take absolutely no notice and carry on as before.
