"*we do not to my (IR Operations Chief) knowledge, we don’t have any delays. We try to get them because it’s easy, quick revenue....
Acknowledging that he was not directly responsible for dealing with yacht charter VAT, he added:*"

Do the units work in the same building, attend strategy sessions to look at monthly numbers, have each others contacts? Why does the head of operation not have numbers on operations?

"***After starting out well**, he (Maury) added that yacht charter requests for TIN numbers were now sometimes taking as long as six to eight weeks to ..*

This might be the clue, they *started out* well, things have deteriorated and the Operations Chief isnt aware of what's happening in Operations.

Maintaining people with institutional knowledge past retirement specifically for this purpose is something I've advocated for for years.

It's not as simple as you're retired train this person. If the retiree is a bully, it wont work, if the retiree is only being given an income, it doesnt work, if theres not a plan on how the knowledge will be transferred and how the trainee will be assessed for their willingness to be trained and their assimilation of the material along the way, it will not work.

And theres more... theyll like announce what was said and be lost on the rest

"*The investigation **centres on** a $1.5m airport bank car heist from November.*"

And that's the problem. **If** the voice notes are authentic they hint at a history of miscarried justice by none other than the most senior officer at CDU and involvement of a lawyer. This is way beyond one robbery.

Seriously our moral compass is gone. Where is the 18year old prison officer who Brave Davis gave the low cost home, later charged with involvement in a murder conspiracy then let out of prison on some dubious medical grounds like acne (it was **not** acne, I cant remember the actual diagnosis at the moment)

Historically hurricanes affecting us come in Sept and Oct. Irma, Andrew, Joaquin, Wilma, Erin, Dorian etc. Hopefully we wont prove history this month or next.

The exercise might do the birdie brain good

"*gave BTC away*"

Assuming you're correct can you tell me how much was BTC sold for and what percentage shares govt received and how much was BEC sold for and what percentage shares did govt receive?

The most shocking thing to me was hearing a spokesperson for Climate Change speak so enthusiastically about what Climate Change was and its impact but literally clueless about current natural assets and any threat to them. Then closing the appearance as a cheerleader announcing Brave Davis had another speaking engagement.

**I honestly do not under Brave Davis. *Theoreticatlly* he knows protecting the environment is important but Our environment is being destroyed right in front of him and he's just pronouncing words.**

"***Lightbourne acknowledged deforestation is a common aspect of development but emphasised the need to balance development with environmental protection***"

**Please Mr Lightbourne give us a report on this "balance", island by island with maps**. How much forest wetlands beaches and hills are left and will remain undisturbed? How much of it will be free of mega development and available to the Bahamian public for eco exploration? And how much has been destroyed like Esau in the last ten years for a bowl of porridge? Please tell us.

As I read the article my first thought was, did they put out this information before? Maybe they did, but I didnt read the article, I certainly havent heard anyone speak on these details, even Zhivargo Laing who is very meticulous about things such as this. So to say they are disappointed with the knee jerk reaction... I dont know what other reaction anyone faced with a 6% increase on already exorbitant bills with no information other than there'll be an increase would have.

For GBs sake I hope what theyve projected is in fact what will happen. The projections are backed by a hedge strategy meaning theyll be able to predict fuel costs, they cant predict sales or disasters.

BEC on the other hand is covering up everything because they dont want to be graded. Including who this mysterious Island Power is. I see the Tribunes article speaking of performing internet searches, did the same last week and could find nothing on this company. For our sake I hope it's not FOCOL and Pike or some other friend of the administration who hobbled some white faces together.

"*Are they the same as Bahamas Grid Company*"

This is my big question.

Dramatically very very bad sign, since the failure of the first milestone of the plan, *end of load shedding with introduction of two new generators*, theyve not told us any other milestones. This means they dont trust the plan because plans for our infrastructure, under a 25 year contract, are not a secret
