Guess we finally found something we disagree on DDK. I think it is a very good thing. Bahamians getting an education that they cannot afford. Giving them a competitive edge to get some good jobs for a change. Unless someone can show evidence that there is a high percentage of Haitians in attendance at UB, or that the majority of students receiving these free tuition packages are from families that are FNM - then I see nothing wrong with it. Too many times Bahamians get the short end of the stick. This time, finally, they are getting something back for their VAT. Bear in mind that it is not just the students that are benefiting, but you and me are too - because these Bahamians will become good members of the workforce with good paying jobs and spend money here, helping the economy. Money circulating here, instead of being wired out.

It's only $19M. Small money bro. At least bahamians are getting it THIS time.

I support this move 100% and am saddened by the comments of my colleagues on here. for once we see the government doing something to help the average Bahamian. This must be supported. It will give us a better educated population. When i say better, i mean better. Maybe not exemplary.
It almost seems like it's against the law to help Bahamians in this country.
K.P. please keep up the good work in this regard.

First Transport. Now Soc Serv. Interesting plan, to say the least.

Oh really? What then can we expect as Bahamian citizens ... fresh air?

Good point except they flagrantly admitted they did not advertise locally but only in the Fiji Marine Magazine subsection on shark diets. They could have done better to inform.

I see no problem with this. It is a non-issue. Where do we stand on lowering our electricity bills? That is a real problem. Maybe some of these talking heads can offer up a solution to that instead of waiting until AFTER govt offers their solution?

I applaud this move which champions and celebrates our African heritage.

But just in case you think im the only one who overuses the slavery motif ... here is a clip from today's news

Yes. Good and amazing stuff. I hope Trump will soon give us an ambassador. Did i miss the report? I follow the news quite well but im not perfect. Does anyone remember a report of a radar being installed in April on Inagua? Glad it's finally there. Only been waiting on it since Roker days.
