"*I will do what I have to do to get Grand Bahama on the right track,”*
This kerfuffle may all be about election campaign messaging. No change in Grand Bahama so find an evil villain to blame.
The problem for the PLP is, Freeport is not Grand Bahama. And you cant hear a peep from Kinsley Smith *fighting for his people*. Looks like he's going to be another convenient scapegoat.
Our money woes are all linked to decades of corruption with overpriced contracts, contracts for shoddy work, contracts for defective products, ovetstaffing and hiring of unqualified supports, kickbacks, forged documents etc etc etc
"*three young men had fentanyl in their systems when they died in the last six months.*"
He's right, this is very bad. The people at greatest risk likely dont read and have no clue how this drug has ravaged the US. They get advice from their friends on how *good* this drug is. It would be good if they could give us some real data like were there other drugs in their system?
Next week our govt tables the marijuana bill. The first argument in favour will be how much money we could make.
Cocaine. Normans Cay. Island for sale. How much money we could make. Oban. How much money we could make. Adelaide 200 sq acres of mangroves. How much money we could make. 5000 kickback for each low cost home built. How much money we could make. Nygard. How much money we could make. Kiddie carnival shakedown. How much money we could make. Forged identity documents. How much money we could make. Let a customs shipment through without inspection. How much money we could make. Illegal gaming. How much money we could make.
"*While the Government’s main revenue agency is asking the system’s developer to provide “more bandwidth”, so that it can better cope with use and demand at deadline time, he added that too many companies “wait for the last day” before they pay their VAT and other taxes.*
*And Mr Fernander said complaints that companies cannot pay online are “not a good excuse” when they are aware that two other options - wire transfers or a physical visit to a Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) branch - are open to them. He promised, though, that the Department of Inland Revenue will address legitimate concerns with the functioning of its new tax portal system as they are brought to its attention.*
This is a bad explanation. First a deadline is a deadline. If you complete 2 seconds before the deadline you've complied. If you want people to comply earlier move the deadline up. Secondly, if all that is required is a wire transfer why have the system? Third, the govt knows exactly how many users will access the system, it's some 45,000 businesses or so at the upper limit. In terms of systems, that's a very small number. All 45,000 should all be able to complete the same transaction at the same time.
The statements from Inland Revenue attempt to whitewash the real problem and shift responsibility for the bad decisions made by leadership to a convenient scapegoat
Finally, dont wait for someone to tell you something doesn't the work. Allocate resources to perform the testing that wasnt done.
Well the Speaker sent the matter for review to some parliamentary committee, so it's not "solely" up to Brave. If the committee finds he did violate Pintards privilege, I guess he could refuse to apologize, I dont know what the remedy is for that. Would they bar him from the house?
He did not say the Commissioner "*is a liar*" as Brave Davis stated in the House, why he "would" say that is beyond me, and he did not say "*the **Commissioner** lied*" as you stated. He said, "*we believe it's a lie*". Now you can conclude they're all the same thing, a court will likely not. Because his statement was **targeted at Mr Johnsons claim** that the FNM leadership orchestrated the attack on him.
It sounds like Brave Davis does owe him an apology
"*Trevor Brown, the manager of the gas station, said he was in his office when the teen was shot.When he went outside, Forbes was bleeding on the ground.“**I was hoping he didn’t (die)**,” Mr Brown said yesterday.*"
This is the correct response when anybody is hurt.
"*they say they may have to transfer him to ICU and give him like some medication for the swelling of the brain because the brain isn’t really damaged,” she added. “It’s just a bruise, and they don’t even want to do surgery to do damage to the brain.*"
I hope she reported the medical feedback incorrectly, brain swelling is very serious and never "just" "*a bruise*"
