Every year as far back as i can remember, its been the same tired excuse, high demand.. why was this not being planned for 20 yrs ago for example when they were saying the same thing? our. govt tells us cooperate with the census takers because we use that data to plan. but reality sadly is there is no planning and never has been by either govt. they know we need more power when they can't meet demand. this is one example of why 3rd world countries remain 3rd world, no planning.

exactly what i would expect from a Union leader. Unions in the 3rd/developing world guarantee one thing, you will remain there.

I agree with previous post. until we have FOIA passed, we have no way to verify anything. dont trust your government without the ability to verify.

Surely this won't be news to the gov't. and local banks will not jeopardize their ability to do business overseas. so what's the solution?

Socrates says...

regardless of fuel used or reduction in transmission loss, etc., our rates will always be high because of generous, some say excessively so, labor agreements and the socialist policy of providing power where it is nowhere close to economic to do so, forcing everyone to share the burden. the recent GB Power acquisition is a recent example.

There is no need for Pintard to resign. we have never observed the "honour" conventions demanded of the Westminister system. its a non- starter.

Socialism will sink this country yet. maybe not this generation, but some future generation as the handouts continue.

Agree with previous posts. Clinics everywhere properly equipped and staffed is unrealistic and unsustainable in a country with our resources. we have to kill this mentality that expects Rum Cay, Ragged Island and other less populated and developed areas to have infrastructure like Nassau. there are better, more realistic options.

nice ambulance for photos but when they put you in it, where are they going to take you and what care will you get there? is there a hospital with trauma center at Mayaguana?

i don't see any control towers at the airports mentioned, so its up to the pilots i guess to pay attention. even in america with all their technology, they have close calls all the time.
