Sadly Soap Opera format, just simmering, rotating, escalating extremely costly situations, sad situations which can be seen by public with easy ready solutions. These formats just seem to prolong and in year of election campaign then BINGO...!!!...After the long painful era ...solution...!!! ...along with garbage trucks twice a day, areas clean up, promotions. Then the usual that the voters way back done know and throw their vote for the next side just going on last 25 years now.

Tru politician.......audit still going on....it has not yet released.....govt has not yet made a decision whether rates will increase....he has not yet have an opportunity to speak to his colleagues ...so he cannot tell you ...that it is going to increase...blah blah blah.
He just need to say audit going on an he cant say nothing. His speculating just adding fuel to fire and misery an plenty employers now considering negative actions to avoid increasing losses doing business.

Very good points.

All the shortfalls, failings, suffering of the entire island is to be remedied, enough and fully within ultimate powers of Government of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.
Actually the entire Grand Bahama islland fully voted for all seats for largest held Govt seats of 35 members. It is way past time that Respresentatives of these continued sufferings have the testicular Fortitude to remedy.
Thry should have called in Defence Force other manpower, utilize the Defence Force Cargo carrying ship have lamp poles and started erecting poles to east end instead sitting on dere hands. Action is needed from the politocians, not issuing to people sentenses with yard long words. While they are in east end the govt should start looking at feasibility of former US missile base airport and dock to reuse.

great big travesty......Brothers an sisters Bahamians in dire straits, and top leader the Governor General from Freeport, Deputy Prime Minister, half the Cabinet, portfolios like Minister of Finance in power....so when are things going to get better in Grand Bahama..?????

"We've got to make this utility a lean, mean fighing machine." by a union leader.

The world and Bahamian public done know this past history having person guilty of bribery. Done know of bloated overstaffing. And as to fighing that does not happen as dey pulls out the special list of people politicians who racks up bills an don't gets cut off an in return politicians just empty millions of taxpayers money to repeatedly prop it up and make space for employment by politically appointed Board for family, friends, lovers.

Good point. Best and only option in light of weather realities. And jobs created will have reviving employment. Govt must spend inject good paying jobs, not stenching like past Rulers economic controllers and Pleasantville Burma Road.

All females having abortion pills available. Part of the equation is the male and if the female must be at stiuation to go through the hurtful forever scarring life altering event life taking, then in all fairness then the male must be made to take the same pill, perhaps his pee pee will drop off and others knowing will be more careful better putting their peepee there and with commitment to raising offspring even by himself.

The headline "No Degradation of 51 Bodies Kept In Cooler" should continue....." Only Degradation In Heads of Politicians"

Seeing this temporary Mortuary of these unclaimed victims in large temporary refridgerated trailer day after day after day in sight of Abaco survivors must be most demoralizing, repeated continued sadness, ominous presence of Deceased fatalities, reviving horrible vivid memories, pain and suffering reviving daily persons passing back and forth. This Mortuary should be sent to Haiti with local directions advise from local Haitian Embassy. Bodies must not continue to be bandied about with politics but must greatly wanted back by relatives, sons, daughters, their families.

Clearly local Bahamians and endless Bahamian Authorities have not claimed the deceased as their loved ones. The highly visible should not be constant yaddering, mabye looking for votes. These deceased must definitely have loved ones in Haiti and their relatives would definitely want loved ones to be buried in Haiti. These sad deceased ones should not be continued to be held, kidnapped by authorities for talks but be forthwith sent back to Haiti for burial by their loved families and Haitian peoples.

beyond belief..!!!!! Didn't the same Customs Department been in existance for decades. They must at least all the listings of goods prices by manufacturers, wholesalers retailers on computer an to determine duties. MY MY MY didn't the Mr. Marlon Johnson even went to anomalities wid invoicing being understated by holding companies to see problem. Didn't the senior Customs Official ilement a better computer system to gather efficiencies and obviois defects etcetc.???

All this new fangled latest program by foreigners forensics just seems to pass more time, a warning to cheaters to clean up their act instead of the Govt having the indelicate task of prosecuting likely political doners and embarassing or veiled accusing Customs staff despite their latest profound changes. Lol.
