A classic outcome when Government inserts itself in the middle of everything, and yet
does nothing, understands nothing.
What should otherwise be simple will prove to be cumbersome, inefficient, and very costly to the private sector, the public and therefore Government itself.
Micromanaging without skills is by definition, our Government.

Dr Michael Darville, Minister for Grand Bahama, yesterday described this week’s disconnection as “a bit drastic and unnecessary”.
"Education Minister Jerome Fitzgerald also expressed his displeasure with the Power Company. Speaking at the BTVI graduation in Freeport yesterday, he told reporters that it was very unfortunate that a company doing business in the Bahamas would want to have a strained relationship with the government"

Drastic? $I Million? so how far i arrears were they? or are there 1000 drop cords running from the schools to area homes?
as to Mr Fitzgerald, who the hell isn't at odds with the Government?
Sounds like the relationship was strained by the Governments doing by not paying bills!
Arrogant twit.

Since when has the Govt had a higher Min wage than the private sector?
When introduced, min wage was lowered to $150 from the originally proposed $170 as the Government did not meet that minimum themselves.
The real issues are Lack of economic activity via Government strangulation and lethargic processing of required permits/licenses and all government services,
Lack of productivity in both Govt and Private sectors,
Lack of basic skills particularly at school leaving ages
high rates of pilferage across the board,
High utility costs, high fuel costs, high import costs
and the looming new costs of wto/imf/eu-epa compliances an rules.

Oh woah is me, do I go to jail,
or become legit overnight?
Oh the stress of it all!
Will I lose thousands? Millions?
Sublime, to ridiculous to the ludicrous.
Use the confiscated moneys (100%) to build the prison in which they should be housed!
Surround them with their ill gotten gains!
Let it stand as an edifice to corruptions proper end!

So, Perry Christie "rolls back" taxes that he had no authority to impose,
He claims he did so because of commitments to invest more given by the industrials of Freeport ?
What a mess.
BTW, what is useless there for, on the left?

Just Emera Flexin muscle because Perry ain't give them BEC yet!

Penalty? How about 100% of revenues and assets derived therefrom?
Let 'em all start from scratch, equal footing.
Quite frankly this is all bollocks.
Are not the proceeds from the other major illegal activity confiscated upon conviction?
Oh, sorry, another of our laws not enforced.
One National Lottery with the proceeds to national infrastructure,
NOT the general account to be slushed and wasted.

Listening to most of the elected is no different than listening to the accused in the Magistrates courts.
Excuses, blame shifting, denial, twisted logic, all completely justifiable in their own minds.
The same defiance too.

So they're attacking you Mr. Miller?
If so, it is you that have made it easy for them to do so.
You cannot stand on noble ground if you yourself are not noble!
"campaigning" for the poor man does not excuse you nor give you free reign.
Go fill some gallon jugs at the gas station, reflect on the error of your ways,
Think on your bad premise.
Pay your bills promptly.
It is the right thing to do.

Classic examples of Idiots doing the same things over and over but expecting different results.
They will never concede or defer to those who might actually know how to turn the country around.
Competent people scare them, and so are to be avoided, so there isn't any collective intelligence for them to even be exposed to.
