"*Nasty*" has nothing to do with political chairmanship. It just means dont marry that person. Until we start examining job descriptions and matching qualities people possess to what's required, we will get what we got.

I cant imagine who's advising Dr Minnis or why he continues to listen to them. Maybe its himself.

"*least able to pay paying more than large businesses”.*

The least able to pay is everyone. We hear all the time that revenue doesnt equal profit. So how can anyone determine who is "*more*" able to pay ridiculous electricity rates?

In the ammendment the tariffs have to be submitted to URCA, does IRCA have the right to reject them?

I'm not impressed by the minister at all, she speaks clearly but never appears to know anything. Whose fault that is, I dont know. The fuel hedge argument was a totally different argument to this one. The rates hikes post fuel hedge were supposed to span a few months and then lead to a return to "*normal*" rates, now here's a whole new plan that suggests "*some*" people might get some really altered, assumedly higher rates. She came to parliament to discuss a "*new plan*" 2 months or so ago, then when questioned about the rates suddenly we hear nothing's worked out yet and they have to go back and reassess... but you just presented the new plan(????)

"*He simply signed the LOI.*:

Generally speaking, it's high time that officials and govt board directors take their title, their fiduciary duty and their name seriously. Theres nothing "*simple*" about signing a document that binds the govt or a corporation to anything.

"*Stellar, in its original statement of claim, laid out multiple allegations. It described Messrs Allen and Forbes as government “agents” who promised then-prime minister Perry Christie would arrange a $40m guarantee for the project, and bragged: “We hold the key to the kingdom*"

Do secret agents of the govt exist? Are people running around telling investors "*I have direct access to the PM*? And do they? If they exist, what rules govern their behaviour or their access? There is that private company that claimed to "*facilitate*" the business permits for the Christmas kiddie carnival. In some really strange arrangement the political party "*in power*" gets 200,000 dollars from the owner. The "*in power*" part is beyond strange.

"*Neither himself nor any of the principals in the Christie administration, some of whom are in Cabinet today, have ever explained the events that occurred.*"

*This newspaper obtained a May 26, 2014, letter written by Michael Halkitis, then-minister of state for finance, to the Inter-American Development Bank’s (IDB) Bahamas country representative stating that “the Government has issued an initial LOI” to Stellar Energy.*

*That letter was dated some five to six weeks before Mr Wells signed the LOI, suggesting key members of the Christie Cabinet knew of its existence in advance and of the Government’s intentions - at least at that point - to sign it. There is nothing, though, to suggest Mr Halkitis did anything wrong*

Which begs the question why did the PLP administration allow this to drag through court? This isnt national security. Or is it?

After listening to a slew of Bahamian men justify marital rape... correction, reject that there can be such a thing because a married man owns his wife's body and can do whatever he wants when he wants even if she's not willing... God save us all from monsters.

This would be truest in the case of a one time incident. This rape charge alledges a pattern. Witness testimony can be compelling especially if there is contemporaneous evidence to support the testimony.

The "physical evidence" he spoke to were the pictures of bruises to the neck and damage to the eye. It's pretty hard for someone to choke themselves with sufficient force to cause bruising. Interesting that Cornish accompanied her on the eye visit. More like "odd". Partners accompanying on a baby check up, moral support when hearing an opinion on mysterious symptoms, or to assist with mobility issues, sure... Eye exam? Not so much.

Sometimes it's a blessing to be stopped in your tracks before unbeknowing to you, the cost becomes too high or painful to pay

Perpetrator can say anything, if "*I didnt do it*" was sufficient for an acquittal, the jails would be empty. I'm not so certain if even the most hardcore sadomasochist would ask to be poked in the eye with sufficient force to cause serious damage to the eye

The worst feeling anyone can have is that of being trapped with nowhere or noone to turn to. That is feeling that many women in abusive marriages must have.
