Why is it public holidays are "gerrymandered"every year? Used to be a perpetual calendar in the phone book, holidays for each possible could be decided and set in stone so there would be no more guessing. having to call the P.M's office a week before almost every holiday is ridiculous.

"Mr Symonette is the son of Sir Roland Symonette, the country’s first premier and leader of the defunct United Bahamian Party. Sir Roland was part of a group of white businessmen known widely as “The Bay Street Boys”.
"#Sir Franklyn was part of “The Sunshine Boys”, a group of black businessmen founded by the late Bradley Roberts in the 1970s. Mr Roberts was a former Cabinet minister, parliamentarian, and long-serving chairman of the Progressive Liberal Party."
And the former taught the latter how to do business. These two statements tell the story that nothing has changed, the latter has completely emulated the former. They have become the enemy of the people they so despised.
We undermine the rule of law, edifices, structures, but replace them with nothing. Anarchy is quickly filling in the void. No worthy leadership leading by example. Finger pointing, without the necessary mirror. We are all guilty of national negligence, with some guilty of national malfeasance.
Meanwhile GBPC/Emera have adopted the BPL "rolling blackouts" citing generation problems. Old #33 Kicked the bucket, so why the hell are they sending "units" to Nassau?
And so who is at fault in the above? The IMF? It was and is our political leaders who have borrowed on average of $50 million/year for 50 years.(number may be wrong, but who would know? They sure don't want the public to know!) The Lender now wants certain conditions met. Maybe they should just put us in default?
