**Anyone found to have moved money from a trust in their care should be legally barred from oversight of any third party fund for 50 years. That is how serious that offence is.** This is one of the biggest issues I have with high office seekers, when caught in these situations, they want to say "sorry" and immediately be given oversight over another large pot of money, the biggest of which is the public treasury. Wise men and women should strongly object.

"*One required him to hold $40,000 in trust for three years with annual interest payments and an option to invest the funds... Ms Rolle alleged that she never received the money owed to her under either agreement*"

"*Mr Bain denied the claims, ...His co-defendant, Keno Symonette, testified that he had forged Mr Bain’s signature at Ms Rolle’s request. However, the trial judge rejected their account and accepted Ms Rolle’s evidence.*"

I noticed the article references an "account" from Mr Bain and Mr Symonette as opposed to "evidence" from Ms Rolle. I wonder if that implies they just said "we paid her" but she brought hard copies akin to correspondences and bank accounts showing repeated inquiries for payment with promises to pay but no transfers. Would be good to know.

"*his clients are burdened by the “draconian” covenants placed on their properties decades ago that restrict them to just single-family residential development, and would like them lifted to increase their land values and have the ability to consider future commercial ventures*"

You are correct, in 20 years you will have a liquor store next door. Our poor country, starved of resources for decades our people will sell their souls for a dollar.What is happening at junkanoo beach, Goodman's bay, carmichael road, every island ... we'll have shanty buildings everywhere

Or proofreaders...

There are a number of errors, but to be fair to Mr Stubbs his value is in his sports knowledge. There are likely only a few people who could rival him on that. The grammatical and content review is really the domain of the editor (or assistant editors, I believe?). Then that opens another rabbit hole, can one editor realistically review every single article on a daily newspaper in a small population where the readership really doesnt provide adequate revenue for staffing...

You noticed.

"Sounds" like the family is being extorted. Never heard of police/authorities charging to remove a dead body from water

"*Thompson said he was “fully aware” of Norman’s Cay planned downsizing having been informed of it early last week.*"

Odd definition of "*fully*".

"*Mr Thompson said when calls are made to the impacted persons, he will further inquire about the allegations of police presence and the short period of time provided for persons to gather their belongings.*"

So... nobody who was "*fully*" informed and responsible for ethical treatment of workers asked how the staff would be offboarded?

"*Chef Osoria said he holds no ill-will towards the developer of Norman’s Cay nor are his comments “rooted in anger. It is **particularly disheartening to witness fellow Bahamians, entrusted with positions of authority, seemingly complicit in actions that disenfranchise their own people**. The recent mass lay-off under the purported leadership of the current island manager, a Bahamian national, exemplifies this troubling dynamic,” he added.*"

It's another odd phenomenon, enslavers often use people of like kind to dish out punishment to victims. The punisher is either disdainful of their own kind for not having the "whatever" to ascend to their level of achievement or is too afraid to fall into victimhood and is all to willing to dish out the abuse. We see this often in Parliament.."*if I'd said something I would have lost my own job*"...so let the people drink Rubis oil for one year or more and die of cancer.

Because"

"*the resulting fee uncertainty has lingered “for months’.*"

Apparently this gentleman and his local contact have been going back and forth to officials trying to get an answer, and after months, he could not get confirmation that the 150 outbound was only for private planes. It was only after he contacted the Tribune that a definitive statement was issued.

Seems like he was caught up in another shortsighted policy change vortex. The poor officer who's now blamed for having "incorrect information"

"*Davis called for the Caribbean to maintain digital sovereignty by investing in data storage infrastructure, regulating foreign digital actors, building platforms and working together to establish a regional framework*"

This is so ironic when the CEB was designed to hand over the industry to foreign control. And every administration falls over backward for the big players, be they foreign investors with massive resources or the few local oligarchs with tentacles around the cabinet.

I wish the speech writer was not so talented because there's nothing behind the words

**Noone should forget that the will of the people was against illegal gaming. The people did not consider it a "good" thing**
