"*My personal life does not define my ability to represent North Eleuthera*"

Not true. It depends on what the personal life details. Now if people are trailing you to detail the day you go to the foodstore, the laundry, the movies, the beach, that's beyond the pale. But if the personal life details factors that are unethical, socially unacceptable, stains on character etc., then those are completely relevant. Just speaking generally, and not implying that any of those exist, I dont know what "personal attacks" have been levied.

"*Oour 900-plus customers in the Rock Sound and Tarpum Bay areas, we responded to all 15 formally logged complaint*"

This is irrelevant. If one person reported oil in WSC piped water that's a very serious matter. Recall the case of was it Andros where a BEC oil leak on someone's property went on for months. Same thing in Abaco where FOCOL's oil leak was left unresolved, never addressed, every single drop of oil from their former fuel station tank was allowed to leak into the ground... for months.

It gets worse...

"*Water coming through our pipes at the clinic smells like diesel, a mechanic’s workshop. Diesel sticks to pipes. How is this ever going to be cleaned? What health prevention is being done to ensure the people don’t get sick? Who will cover the costs of damaged coffee machines, kettles, clothing? From headaches, body rashes to diarrhoea... we’re seeing it all. Come on, Eleuthera needs better, we need essentials and safe.”*

"*It’s probably diesel. It smells like diesel. It was coming out like diesel..*"

That is not good for anybody. Just the odor alone could make people sick.

"*Robert Farquharson, the ex-Bahamas Communications and Public Officers Union (BCOU) president who is now head of the Ministry of Labour’s special projects unit*"

This is odd, the behaviour described in the article, accepted as factual by the successful action against Mr Farwuharsons sister, should render anybody unqualified to hold any senior position at the labour board

This is simple. You cannot stay in any country as a legal immigrant if you cannot afford to live there. And you should not be allowed to linger for years having children then claim a right to stay based on birth right citizenship.

It goes without saying that illegal immigrants arent allowed to stay.

"*the government’s mission must be guided by faith and rooted in divine purpose.*"

God separated church and state from Samuel's time.

"*they said, “Give us a king to lead us,” this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the Lord. 7 And the Lord told him: “Listen to all that the people are saying to you; it is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me as their king. 8 As they have done from the day I brought them up out of Egypt until this day, forsaking me and serving other gods, so they are doing to you. 9 Now listen to them; but warn them solemnly and let them know what the king who will reign over them will claim as his rights.”*... he shall take and he shall take and he shall take the best of everything for himself, his family and his generals.

Jesus enforced, "*render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's*"

To pretend that this nation that legalized gambling, took campaign money from Nygard, is about to legalize marijuana, has a potential high ranking politician sitting in Parliament negotiating cocaine transshipment for dollars that nobody in power appears interested in finding, is "Godly" is somewhat blaphemous

Would like to hear from Debbie Deal on the construction standards employed on the damaged houses. She did a similar assessment after Dorian to point out houses that could have avoided damage if basic standards had been applied.

Odd picture to show "tornado" damage, who knows. Looks like strong winds.

"*They have no money to rent house,” Bishop Louis said. “They don’t have no house, so they live on the street.”*

**We need a thinking adult in the room to develop a sensible immigration policy. It is not good enough to argue that "*we need immigrant workers*". Those workers have to have the financial means to feed, clothe and shelter themselves** or we'll end up with hundreds of thousands either living on the street, crammed into houses 20 to 1 and becoming a drag on the social system not to mention the nation's health due to unsanitary living conditions and inevitable elder care.
