a lot can be said about Rollins and his lack of political smarts, or if you prefer, what needs to be done to survive as a political creature. nevertheless, i now wonder with him and LBT out (yes she will lose her seat or be an Independent, means the same thing in our system), who will say the things nobody else is prepared to do, as the rest play the survival game?

most likely GOB (gov't of Bahamas) will pay this, meaning us. the strong-man, 'i'm above the law' politician mentality is ushering in a new era.. check Turkey, Phillipines, Trump now Christie.. all want to ignore and/or direct the courts. the line between democracy and dictatorship is becoming blurred..

Socrates says...

we're all familiar with this kind of BS talk, but come on man, FOCOL investing in the national interest? sounds like these connected jokers have now become victims of their own propaganda after spewing it for so many years..

Socrates says...

the loss or otherwise of this plane is probably a blessing.. collect the insurance, pay off some debt and do what they have been doing for decades, sell the tickets and put you on Pineapple, Southern or any of the other peripheral operators...

remember they r only consultants.. give advise, then we throw the report in the bottom drawer of some desk on Cable Beach, and life goes on. 30 years not fixed, i wouldn't hold my breath, no pun intended, hoping for a fix now...

again Robert 'John the Baptist' Myers is on target. we have been cursed with successive intellectually challenged governments and that is the reason we should not expect any change.. i didn't know waste management was a mystery, but apparently here it is...

Socrates says...

its all about profits.. more fees, less service.. use to call themselves the 'helpful bank'. i guess that means help themselves only. shame all of this. pretty soon we will be back to the days of the fly-in bankers like in LI and Inagua. once a week. keep ur money under the bed 6 days, bank 1 day. country going backwards and looks like there is nothing we can do to stop the slide...
