its refreshing to see a business stand up to these special interest socialists. if they worked with as much effort as they put into defying their employer, maybe we would be the best little country in the world.

we need to learn lessons from this.. its taxpayers money.. why did it happen? what firefighting capability was at the station? can this happen at other BPL sites? was the equipment and other stuff insured? we dont need BPL upping their request fir alms from $500m to $1.0bn.

its the same old story with things government related.. neglect forever, then speak about it like it all suddenly occurred, like national insurance for example.. all these small countries have perfected kicking hard issues down the road.. whatz next, the big govt pension obligation?

he who is without sin, cast the first stone. Mr. Smith made great contributions to this country and at this time we should be respectful of that rather than mud slinging.

how far will it go? if a wife takes money from her husband's wallet without asking, should we now call that theft?

The real question is where does it all end? Will the Catholic church be next for all they did hundreds of years ago in the name of religion? then there is the other side of the coin. Do we owe the colonialists for the education, political and economic systems they gave us without which we'd be still playing catchup? its a futile exercise this always looking back mentality? let sleeping dogs lie and look to the future.

Mr. Thompson has to realize GBUC is not BPL. They need revenue to exceed expenses to survive. there is no gov't bailout waiting for them.

I agree with the sentiment that we will pay tax and get nothing for it. all that debt from silly pet projects catching up with us.

$38,000,000... thatz why your bill has to increase.

change just for sake of change... whats the point?
