"...leaving “very little funding” for the maintenance and renovation of the country’s healthcare facilities."

That's what happens when you remove VAT from bread-basket items in order to pacify Haitian voters. Ya gats no money left.

Too bad. Too sad.
Time to change the flag.

"Earlier this month Dr Munroe revealed his union was seeking a strike certificate ..."

Thanks to Ingraham's legislation in 2006, negroes now need permission to be "uppity".

he told The Tribune. “They are complaining about Disney’s plans, but we are looking for a way to feed our families and keep our kids here.”

NO. Only conch slop fa yall. The environmentalists say we must starve to protect the environment and the church says you must have more children to starve along with you.

“I don’t want to say where I told them to go and how deep, but the government made it clear, Mr Speaker,"

Right on Daddy-O !! Chase them crazy baldheads outta town!!!

"Obviously something is happening between him and the executive that has rattled his nerves," Mr Davis said.

LOL. Typical PLP thinking. To them, their PM is a king replacing the old King of England - not to be questioned, not to be opposed. That's why they were forced to run Christie in the last election even though Stevie Wonder could see he would lose.

That's why no candidate for leadership was allowed to speak at convention before the vote. That's why the delegate contact info was kept secret from Christie's opponent. That's why Christie was allowed to appoint 300 delegates of his choosing just weeks before the "vote".

In the end, though he failed.

If ideas like those of the Speaker are not given serious consideration though, eventually true dictators will find a ready made Heaven for them here in the Bahamas.

The Speaker is correct.

Another way to have more backbenchers is to increase the number of MPs. We have had about this number for too long. From back in the days when you could get free conch slop at Potters Cay.

More MPs, harder to keep secrets, easier to distribute the workload by department, easier for citizens to meet with their MP (I mean after election, we all know you can yuck up wit dem during campaign).

BahamaPundit says "How do we know the Lucayan Hotel purchase is not also a requirement included in the Baha Mar deal? "

That's one of the scariest things ive heard yet.

Where is Senator Henfield when we need him?

Economist, yes i know thst. I understand they are ironing out an agreement.

Just focus on the shackles though. The percentages and stuff are useless details.

The shackles. Im guessing you love the idea? There are kinky gals you can pay for that - you dont need to enslave the rest of us just for your fetish.

The PLP don't play Roots on CBS at election time no more. Maybe Jeff could add it to the curriculum required for graduation.

The WTO making demands and we ain't even a member yet. Wait until they get the shackles back around our necks. Then the whip gah come out.

You can't tax the Chinese - dey gats ball-head and deys do kung fu.

I guess when you cant solve the big problems, you go play in the sandbox with the kiddies.

Hey, PM, if you lost your priority list of top ten problems, give me a shout. I can fax one right over to ya.
