Close it down. Save the taxpayers pension money to pay pensions.

But you've been trying pretty hard, birdiestrachan.

arrest them for what? posting fake news? should the editor of a newspaper be arrested for writing something that is an opinion that those in authority disagree with? Social media has obvious flaws but is very important to counteract the inevitable abuse of power that our elected and appointed state officials have perpetuated in the past and will in the future. I value my freedom of expression and do not wish to live in a police state.

How did john rolle get to be governor of the central bank? Has he ever actually worked in the banking sector? Has he ever worked in the private sector? Has he only ever been a civil servant? No Qualifications. Empty barrels.

I like Hon. Pierre Dupuch cos he has always seemed to have said what he believes. The sovereignty of the Bahamas was sold years ago in order to borrow money to pay the salaries and fat pensions of the fiscal parasites known as civil servants. Fire all of them except for 350 police officers and 350 nurses.. One per hundred citizens. Cancel vat and duty, keep stamp tax and watch the economy grow faster than a politician's water bill. Cancel all state paid pensions cos only 28 of the thousands of recipients actually deserve them for doing their jobs well. .

Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door. These fellas business models are 50 years out of date. They only survived the past few years because the local clearing banks were eager to lend consumers money for such an easily reclaimed asset. The new successful business models in the country are the gambling dens offering the chance of something for nothing or the prosperity churches promising riches in return for tithes. Whoever you vote for, the government is always elected, much more taxes coming soon.

We just a mean people now. We kill each other everyday and cheat and lie like they going out of fashion. The best and smartest of us are elected to govern us. Look at the previous government's cabinet members and you can see just how low the standards of the country have sunk.

We should have a shuttle bus service running from the airport to Arawak Cay. Hotel buses to pick up their guests from there. Introduce legislation to allow Uber to operate in the Bahamas. The taxi drivers are finished and need to get a productive job. Problem is that most all of our governments are scared of them because they remember the Burma Road riots. Some taxi drivers are honest, drive a clean and well maintained vehicle and have had their eye sight tested within the past five tears however some do not fit these criteria, I heard a taxi driver rip off fair story yesterday from an ex-pat banker who the driver assumed was ignorant and was cussed out for declining to pay an outrageous charge for a trip to Cable Beach. The taxi driver drove off with his suitcase after threatening to shoot him, a passing motorist got involved and they were able to chase this friver down and retrieve the suitcase. So sad.

Is Christie amazed at having a bill with WSC or amazed at having to pay one? I'm not quite clear which it is.
