This is all expected. Successive gov'ts have done nothing for decades to arrest the steady slide into poverty. wasteful spending, overstaffing in public service, propping up failed state corporations like Bahamasair, ZNS, Bank of the Bahamas, bailing out everyone when private companies and investments go bad e.g. Clico.. Implementation of VAT has done nothing to help the situation just provide more money to throw away.. i predict it will continue to get worse just like it did for our cousins further south who couldn't manage their money properly either..

we've been screwed by successive incompetent government ownership of BEC for decades.. its badly run with crisis management and no forward planning.. there is no plausible reason for such crap service.. but management can only do what crap government allows and in this respect, both PLP and FNM have failed miserably.. what rubbish about overhead lines, cable fault, etc. as though we are the only country on earth like that..

i dont see any problem with Ingraham or Christie having their say.. they r still bahamians and they know more about these things than all the arm-chair analysts including yours truly.. what the hell, if you believe in democracy you have to support citizens' right to free speech, whether you agree with their POV or not....

still waiting to hear which civil servant (s) are going to pay the price for Hanna getting that contract with no insurance.. if it wasn't their fault, then they need to give up the politician(s) who gave instructions to award the contract.... its one or the other...

we really need an overhaul of our laws when the fiasco occurred here, but the FBI is investigating and going after the crooks.. shouldn't we be taking the lead in this a la BahaMar?? after all the crookery occurred here regardless of where it was planned...

I endorse everything Dean says.. it's just that I thought it would go without saying that when you challenge the Police, they will do their duty, whatever it takes.. if it requires shooting, feel free and don't waste the bullets, make sure they are 'on target'

Nice spin on it but this is what I read... "everybody thinks he won the election because of himself and the truth is they didn’t win because of themselves. They won because of the party and because the government got voted out, not because the individual was such a good candidate that people say, ‘I love him I’ll vote for him.’”. It's not a big deal, just my opinion which along with $5 gets a coffee at Starbucks...

i hope Gibson from LI reads this.. i think he believes he won his seat on his own.. If you are FNM you win LI.. simple Mr. Gibson. so sit small, watch and learn and all the others thinking the same way...

government does not collect a bond from foreign promoters of events just in case things go wrong, like this time?

like i said before.. there will be creative excuses and it will all go away. Laroda says in some cases its been 5 years since some filed, so it might take time.. so whose fault is it they weren't doing what they were required too by LAW?
