They haven't started yet to nothing to report. I'm sure they've already started receiving their salaries though. Maybe they will be going on strike soon as well looking to get an increase. ; )

when I was a child one of my friends fell into one of these poorly covered drainage wells - about 10ft down - and they were in there for over 3 hours.

and if that well happens to be bone dry in-between downpours, I hope they have a VERY secure cover over it because if someone falls down it there is no surviving and little chance of retrieving the body.

I'm pretty sure a 10ft well which is always full of water won't hold anymore water than a 600ft well that's always full of water.
Unless they find an area in Pinewood that is 600ft above sea level or a big empty cave hole, I don't think this well will make much difference, no matter how deep they drill it.

His thinking cap fell off after the election. Someone please find it and put it on his head so that we can end these stupid masking rules.

Haiti? Would make sense since the only kids paying attention in class are the Haitian children.

Criminals don't follow the law. Politicians have too much clout to be penalized so they will only change the rules when they are sure they will no longer have a position or clout.

Surely interviewing and documenting every crime and criminal (including close relatives) is what needs to be done BEFORE any crime **prevention** measures can even be signed off?
We should have pages and pages of details on each crime on file for all to see. We should have University of Bahamas students and department heads and psychiatrists and psychologists writing papers about their findings. But we don't even know the average age of these criminals or if they come from broken homes or if they're poor or what percentage are white. Or their average education level or how many are repeat criminals or gang members. Are the murders mostly gang related or are they domestic.
Every time a question about the criminals is asked the answer is '**we don't know**'.

Okay then let's get rid of the privy council and make our own decisions. If we need to change the constitution then so be it. Many countries don't allow bail for very serious offenses. I believe the majority of us would be in favor of the ability for the courts to deny bail.
Let's think about some of the horrible things that have happened in other countries over the last few years (mass school shooting, people intentionally plowing through crowds with their vehicles, snipers shooting random people from windows and roof tops). When people like this are caught in the act or there is soooo much evidence pointing towards them, then do we really want these people to be able to be released on bail?
We need to stop focusing on the 1 out of 10,000 innocent people that get caught up in the system and instead focus on the 9,999 out of 10,000 that are animals who have the ability to roam throughout society.
