"*Everybody is shaken up because he’s a well-known man here in Moore’s Island,” said local chief councillor Ganvia Johnson.*"

Grief doesnt care what the deceased love one did in life, but I ask the question, did everybody also know he was either dealing drugs or involved in human smuggling? Reminds me of the Binini boat captain who said to the Trubune that "everybody knew" about the human smuggling operations on the island, and anybody could get in if they wanted to.

**We have to stop giving respect and hero worship to people who gain uber wealth through illegal activity. This includes illegal gaming**. And MPs need to stop associating with them, using them in election campaigns to amass votes and as election financiers knowing the source of the funds. Every drug and every illegal immigrant smuggled for a dollar is another inch dug in your children and grandchildren's *too early* grave.

Why dont we amend the law to allow drug dealers and human smugglers to serve in parliament and cabinet? These people are also innovative, young and enterprising businessmen. Theyve also displayed the ability to influence vast majorities of people to get things done. And like gaming, theyve caused blight all over the country, seems like a no brainer.

It's weird how in the end, everybody wants the punky, "good name", no matter what they destroy to get it.

"*multiple Soldier Road feeders at the Blue Hills Power Station unexpectedly tripped offline. BPL attributed this fault to a gas circuit breaker malfunction tied to a phase-to-ground cable issue*"

For the un***enlightened*** public, exactly what does this mean? Is it common to have phase to ground cable issues? Did the circuit breaker "malfunction" or did it do what it was supposed to, i.e., "break" the circuit? Phase ground and breaker notwithstanding was this just excessive demand on the system?

Minister of finance of course. They could create a new ministry of illegal gaming

The abomination of desolations?? Is this it?

Oh Jesus

Get the small things right. Your systems simply arent stable. Every night there seems to mini outages. Two(?) months ago it culminated in a massive outage. I am lost as to why URCA hasnt demanded a public explanation for what is happening and not the useless We're "working on an issue, we'll let you know when its fixed". Are you unable to service the customers you have? Your support line is horrible. The "AI" cant decipher english language and frequently hangs up on you. You live support staff are passive aggressive.

Forget being Hercules. Just be a good serf.

Just like the fire brigade, the islands would benefit from a volunteer emergency response team, so that no matter where an incident occurs there is likely to be one or more persons with emergency response supplies trained to assist. Broken bones, blood loss, pain relief, resuscitation, But... if the hospital cant keep supplies in stock, could it work?

Wait to hear a ministry launch the new initiative they came up with.

Why? The answer is political. No politician questions the do nothing nonsense issued by any of the ministers who stand up to speak about the way forward. How many ministers of transport have now talked about how they're regulating the industry. Yet **every single day anybody with eyes can see jetskis and tourist boats scattered all over Montagu harbour where hundreds of Bahamians go to swim. It's an accident waiting to happen**. But someone in "politics" is allowing it to continue.

Pricing is a skill and a balancing act. Too often it appears that the only concern for the govt is how much money is to be made if they hikes taxes and fee-taxes 400% higher. Theres no balance in their act and they often enter the "*beyond the market can bear*" domain.

Where is the line between *not paying their fare share* and extortion? It's in the data. Unfortunately noone's given any.
