Meanwhile, "litter the road verges with garbage day" was a resounding success!
Incredible the amount of crap spread along every road side in celebration!
Could have paid the national debt down by a few million if Cops actually did their damn job and Fined the Offenders, on this one day alone!

The only statement we should be hearing from Leslie Miller is how the Government back tracking on the paint duty rate drop makes him so grateful that he has paid his Power bill arrears in full and will forevermore stay current!

44 years on, when we gonna start this "nation Building" stuff?
When there is nothing left to destroy? Soon time.
Funny how they so love the pomp and pageantry, but totally corrupted the backbone of lawful society.

Do the residents not assign their NIB pensions to the home?
If so it would see like a look at the books may be in order, if only to show how under funded they are.
It is fine for a one off payment to be made for them, but how can they possibly stay current?
Who will step in next time?

Totally conflicted. Like former drug lords "looking after" their hoods.
We are so far gone and lost......

Licensing Bahamians is no damn faster, nor any less complicated.
I recall the current Prime Minister saying pre-election it should not matter who's name is on a license, only that lawful requirements are met. I agree, but we are so far past that, insofar as almost every Government dept seems to think they have some veto or power to deny, modify or highjack applications. The Port Authority is no different.
In other words, civil servants (and Port employees) aught to be rubber stamping applications etc, not sitting on them, meeting over them or stone walling them.
Never mind stealing the business opportunity, which has happened often.

Except you don't crawl out of the dumpster or cesspit to talk ethics and morals and be taken seriously.
Any of them. Stop giving them a podium to spew from.

Government Programs don't arise because the people demanded them,
or because the free market cannot provide needed services,
They arise because the politicians find them to be a convenient way to buy votes,
with other peoples money,
a convenient way to enlarge their own power,
a convenient way to reward their political cronies,
and a convenient way to keep the people dependent on
Government.- Harry Browne.

Hutchinson could buy the National debt with one years global Net Profit.
While the Government has said they will repeal or replace the Dis-Incentive act that Gave Hutchinson and the port a 20 year blanket exemption, they are still advising the registration period has been extended to Jan 2018 for Licensees.
So which is it? Repealed or continued? We know the PLP were going to cherry pick beneficiaries and penalize the rest. It is the Port that needs targeting.
I say repeal it, the Port shareholders will crap themselves, Hutchinson won't care or pay it.
Licensees in good standing aught to be granted the exemption in 5 year increments.
No political meandering or sucking up to the Port.
Grow a set and keep the Port at arms length and turn up the heat.
Don't be satisfied with a few computers given to a government school, hold them to their mandate, their obligations, their responsibilities. That would be a first since Wallace Groves rolled out.......

Preaching about something he knows nothing about? Humility?
What, slow news day?
