Right! Thank you for keeping me focused.

"*Dey comin!*"

Said previously, drug incidents and murders have been increasing in Grand Bahama for a few years now. Was not aware that Metayer revelations had a GB connection

**This is ridiculous**. All because somebody simply couldnt select a new name. **Storm in a teacup**.

**Who is the high ranking politician alledgedly running a cocaine transshipment enterprise and is JDL handling air freight some of which given the claims in the indictment, could be cocaine before Customs has eyesight of it?**

"*contracts awarded to DigieSoft Technologies to develop an alternative boating fee portal*".

Well?

What does "*not providing access to the SeaZPass system’s back-end process.*" have to do with anything. I've never heard of such a thing before. I wouldnt give anyone access to my "backend process" to mess up configurations. Give them a dynamic report, so they can see activity in real time, that's it.

"***She also said that while the chief counsellor had reported the water supply wasn’t the issue, the fire had spread quickly due to the wooden structures.***

**This doesn't appear to be correct**. The gentleman said he saw smoke and went to get water but there was no water. He was able to walk in the kitchen when there was only smoke and there was no water.

Sounds like "no water" was the issue with preventing a fire.

Was there even enough time to do a forensic audit on the selection? She should have been made Acting Commissioner in light of the resignation and all the necessary checks completed in a 6month window before confirmation. What's to fear? If she's qualified, she's confirmed.

**When she's *qualified* **. And that could be today. We dont know because the first step to making that determination is a list of concrete skills, qualifications as nd qualities that a first world country would demand of a police commissioner. Not a vague list of *years of experience* that qualifies anybody, even Superintendent Curtis, Michael Johnson, Sonny Miller and Symonnette.

Once you have the list of objective concrete criteria, you compare it against anybody's resume, not just the next socially promotable person.

We need to stop this guessing game of leadership, followed by "give them time, they never do this before"

I see prodigal sons and music makers are 2 and 3. What's the point of showing up at 9PM? The junkanoo community needs to be realistic.

Are the costumes finished? Will gaps be filled with hours of non-entertaining boring scrap groups? Will anything change?

The problem with scrap groups is the fun is only in the participation, not the watching. You cant ask people to pay for a ticket to be "entertained", show them hours of *scraps* and then say, "*well, junkanoo for us*". Scrap groups should be moved to their own, "*bring your own costume*" fun rush day. Bahamians who dont want to spend months pasting but love junkanoo and tourists would love it. They would also love a true marquee event junkanoo parade now free of low quality "noise", with shorter viewing time, and goal of "*spectator targeted **quality** entertainment and pre-inspected costumes*". Nobody want to see the music makers or prodigal sons with one finished costume. They can be part of the fun rush. You cant argue that you have to be a part of the main parade if you have no costumes.
