respectfully, it would make far more sense to leave things as is but every traffic stop, have officers require to see insurance and DL like elsewhere. what happens to the gap of the other 6 months? it's more a bandaid solution.

Another bad decision that didn’t have to be made. The Bahamas more and more is taking a direction inconsistent with its traditional Allies. This decision is at odds with the constitution which says we are a Christian nation. How can we then recognize a group who among other things want to destroy a nation that’s central to the Christian religion? Our reporters need to do a better job of keeping us informed about what our people are supporting at the UN. We spend a lot of public money at that place and know very little about what we are doing there.

it speaks volumes about the state of the bahamian society when not one, but two of the people's representatives are facing serious charges in court. aren't these folks supposed to be of good character and an example for the nation? i know they are innocent until priven otherwise, but the mere fact that the evidence justify brinhing chsrges sats a lot.

If the same people who put BPL in this mess in the first place will still own it, how does splitting it up change anything? Their decisions and directives (GoB have it where it is now, another failed socialist experiment.

Isn’t it ironic that a country that boasts about being a leader in offshore banking can’t provide adequate facilities for its own citizens and residents?

See why you need the Freedom of information act? In our “democracy”, you only know what they tell you but you can’t independently verify anything.

now we know why all the trips to Africa.. getting pointers on how to run your country the Africa way... it will get you votes, but nothimg more.

Successive socialist administrations decided all Bahamians will have electricity and those who live where it makes economic sense will have to pay to sustain it in the majority of places where it cannot be justified. Given that policy, inevitably the rates will always be inflated OR taxes will have to be imposed and money handed to BPL as a subsidy.. bottom line, you pay either way.

there is a disconnect here somewhere.. more visitirs than ever, more spend which they usually say means more jobs but things are worse than ever for the average bahamian?

Privatization and sale of shares in a monopoly is the way to go. it brings equality to the labour/company relationship.. as it is now, government is liable to ransom and we see it every contract renewal but privatization forces acknowledgement of reality.. however, since govt has messed BPL up, unless they are a minority shareholder in any kind of partnership, we'll eventually find ourselves in this same state again.
