This building will be a crack house in 10 years.. a delapidated, rundown, shabby monument to the government and people of the Bahamas just like most of the other government buildings. Of course, such a situation would then provide an excuse to give no-insurance, BAMSI type contractors, some handouts...
It should make any right thinking Bahamian pissed that apparently our elected, sovereign government can't decide whether there should be a tax system in the country, and if so, what manner it should take. Apparently, OECD, EU and other special interest groups now get to make that decision without us even having the chance to vote them in. I say F"#k these arrogant bastards...
Why did Rollins show at this meeting? He is not a LI resident/voter and he is not the FNM candidate. Rollins has a pattern of operating like the mob.. go my way or I come and burn down your house type mentality. This guy is dangerous.. he can become a dictator in the right circumstances....
well i suppose he is no less worthy than the straw vendors, taxi drivers and preachers who have been in one or the other of the 2 chambers in the past...
i wonder if its only me but why is it that whenever a bahamian loses money because a business collapses, the expectation is for taxpayers to make them whole again? i thought in a free market style economy, u are free to make investment decisions and profit OR lose.. its risk that supposedly goes with the reward right? BTW, insurance providers and banks can and do go bellyup just like any other business..
its a shame LBT's comments are filled with such an attitude of superiority and almost like she doesn't give a s*#t what the voters do.. i would expect more engaging and positive comments such as 'i have tried to serve the people of LI to the best of my ability' as opposed to 'i have been a stellar MP'. it gives me the i-am-doing-you-all-a-favour feeling as opposed to 'i am here to serve you all, if you elect me again'... but then again, bahamian politicians do tend to resent the idea that they are accountable to us, the electorate..
one really must question the wisdom of government, through NIB, loaning public social service money to notorious loss-making associated entities and also to prop up failed ones like BOB...
Sheeprunner12 seems I touched a nerve.. My comments are nothing personal toward LI people or for that matter the other inhabitants of MICAL. It's just reality that the SE Bahamas is the dead zone.. Blame all the previous governments who were either intellectually bankrupt or just don't care about all of you..
