"*at the expense of lower electricity costs*"

Nobody especially Jobeth Coleby Davis has explained yet how this will bring lower electricity costs. I believe the opposite will be the case at least for a few years, why? Because they told us so when they brought Power Secure the first time. The same manager, Alstrom(?) whom theyve said was key to crafting the PowerSecure businessplan is back, and by their explanation, was key to the proposal requesting a rate increase out the gate. Nothing change. Now, a rate increase might be needed to turn BEC around. I am saying stop the obsfuscations. Stop selling us dreams of lower costs to sell us election lies if you are fully aware the first thing you plan to do is increase prices. Because we all know what increased electricity rates will bring. Hellfire. Prices will increase everywhere on top of prices that are currently ridiculous, based on nothing except govts riddled with kickback corruption, inability to think and obsession to stifle all innovation they dont personally profit
from. They cause this situation with their greed. So dumb, now they paying high gas, food and business license fees and living in the same land of their creation where their 15yr old grandchildren could get murdered at any minute from people (incorrectly) trying to survive

Obie Wilchombe was a sitting cabinet minister and at the time of his death could not get funding for infrastructure work in grand bahama.

Local govt is a nonstarter if you're expecting funding from the govt. They will give and take to suit their political purpose which will render any islands local govt a political tool. This will be unless local govt has funding independent of the govt.

You have to remember that their power comes from offering money to communities, not from leadership ability. look at Braves pitch during GB bielection. They will not give that up willingly. Look at the contracts headed to Exuma and Cat Island.

I had a thought similar to this when I read the title "*Davis man on fire*". I thought KB's *hold dere feet to the fire* had somehow spread to butts and other regions

On PM Davis is a man on fire

"*Further, in line with the seasonal demand for foreign currency, external reserves declined over the review period, albeit a moderation vis-à-vis the same period last year.”*

In the budget debate Brave Davis put great emphasis on revenue exceeding projections. And he should, that's positive news for the country. Extremely troubling though in light of that, with more money coming in than they expected, they somehow found two times as many unprojected items to spend it and nonexistent money on. This is a repeat of the VAT launch. They crowed up and down about one billion dollars being collected, they revealed that theyd had no clue they could bring in so much. Then it disappeared in another deficit.

Lately Chester Cooper has been making much about record breaking tourist numbers. Up to 9 million I believe. One of the benefits of a tourist visit is foreign currency inflow. According to the central Bank while we were experiencing Chester Cooper's historic 9 million visitors, external reserves fell. We havent had a hurricane, we havent had a pandemic...

Our outcomes aren't fitting the narrative.

One thing that baffles me is when people join groups claiming liberation and then end up enslaved by the new and always weird and crazy rules set up by the leaders. Notice this trend typically in radicalized groups be they religious, afro-centered or criminal

This is crazy. How did Papa Doc get before the world court? Somebody needs to exercise oversight of the abuses that keep happening with public funds while the country continues to decline and the wayward spending sends prices and taxes skyrocketing, happens in both parties

The reason they overspent on the travel budget taking money from the disabled people that they took credit in the last budget for giving more money to, then jetted what had to be the ~entire PLP party to Freeport on public funds to campaign (we dont know cuz they didnt provide details but 100k is alot) then started talks about a new Parliament building, all while the athletes say they need about 1million dollars for this years athletic caendar(?) The Betty Kelly swimming pool een finish, the stadium, who knows, boats burning up every other night at Potters Cay. The sewer system still smells awful there every other week...

they simply dont know how much there is to be done
