I guess someone must have paid Smith's fine for him. According to our swift justice guidelines, he would otherwise be in jail, not fighting for a PLP nomination. HA HA.

Freeport, and the island of Grand Bahama have been in a recession since the PLP won the government and achieved majority rule. Go figure.

Hatter, you may wish to consider the possibility that she lives in that area. In any event, she is a child; an innocent bystander, and I pray that she will recover from her injuries.

This is so sad. My heartfelt condolences go out to the mother and family of Kayden. May God give them the strength to overcome their loss.

If the PLP give Keod Smith a nomination, it will confirm the depths of corruption and disrespect for the country, to which they have sunk.

Tal, the "Red Movement" as you called them, have demanded these details in the House, and received a reply from the PM that "he was not at liberty to disclose particulars of the sale". We only recently found out that Fook will not take ownership of the Hotel until ALL repairs are completed. So if they can't get the details from the PM, and Fook is not the owner as yet, what the fook else are the FNM supposed to do?

Well maybe now that the Government's "Ace in the Hole" investor is complaining about the crime and city dump, something will be done. Just fixing the dump would be a major achievement. Fixing crime, on the other hand, a miracle. The system need to be gutted from the politicians on down through the judiciary. When the police arrest a suspect, the whole carnival of lawyers, rights, bail, and b/s,puts them back on the street. How frustrating must it be for them. Then the morality of the people, who believe that they can commit crimes and get away with them (which they do),needs to be addressed.
Anyway lets see if the big time investors words have any effect.

I too, think this is a great move, although a bit hypocritical as the Polymers factory in Freeport produces a large percentage of the beads used in the manufacturing of foam products worldwide. Is the solution to shut them down? Maybe we can look at recycling these items,, reducing the need to manufacture new product, as well as providing a source of revenue and employment that is untapped in our country. Then we will have to figure out a way to stop our citizens from littering with these, and all other types of hazardous waste matter. Big Job.

For years Banks have gotten away with:
A. Charging excessive interest rates on Residential Mortgages.
B. Charging outrages commitment fees on same.
C. Directing customers to use certain lawyers for legal work on the mortgages.
D. Having customers tied to using the banks approved appraisers for stage inspections.
E. Working in collusion with insurance companies/agents to gouge customers for life and property insurances.
F. Accruing late fees and interest on loans that have been designated non-current or non-productive, jacking up balances on mortgages that make it virtually impossible for borrowers to ever become current in their arrangements.
G. Repossessing, and selling off the properties of customers for substantially less than fair market value, and then going after the customer for balances left as a result of the sale, which were largely created by aforesaid late fees/interest.
I know that this bill will not address the entire scope of the lending process, but just getting these matters heard in court will greatly improve the rights of borrowers, and make the Banks' more accountable for their actions/policies.
Just my opinion.

Fantastic. It took two months for them to come up with these pearls of wisdom.
Same old excuses; same old B/S promises.
Better buy your generators now, because if, by some Act of God, Bahamar does actually open, the residential consumers will sit in the dark while BPL keeps their power on.
