There is little mentioning of the Police Training College of the Bahamas.

At this Training School the curriculum should be and must be thorough encompassing the trainees recruits to deal with these situations. Trainees recruits must be able to pass all these conflict situations before graduating them and putting them on the streets.

Quite horrifying to have these officers in these situations with harm to alleged culprits in public AND also to harm which can also occur to themselves.

Time to immediately suspend and review Police Training College curriculum and teachers training and withdraw all students, graduates to have reevaluation and re-education before incidents like this happening again.

Instead of trying to raise all that huge $670M perhaps he ought liase wid the Enviromental people for advice.

Soda cans and plastic rings are more polluting beach than plastic bags and as a medical Doctor he knows that suggary drinks are the major expenses and diseases of the hospital.

Simply needs to have a 25 cents cost just like the plastic grocery bags charged on the soda can sales and levy tax on known cause illnesses by suggary drinks.

Tax or fee on suggary drinks lowers people getting sick filling up hospital and lowers pollution of discarded soda cans.

Instead of months and months going by wid comments by Bahamas govt official perhaps photos and particulars of loved ones, height, etc. be collated by govt officials in Abaco wid a camera in phone and sent to Haitian Embassy on Shirley St. by Sears Rd. Nassau to utilize its expertise and contact contacts in Bahamas and in Haiti to bring closure to families loved ones.

The ADS-B the Automatic Dependent Surveillamce Broadcast system is not only a mere tracking technology system by the US FAA but offers a host of safety features to ensure the safety of passengers in air and on runway. Offers situational awareness to pilots better greater knowledge the equipment gives numerous better safety awareness of its location etcetc.

Operating the Bahamas jets with passengers over expanse of wide open sea, deep waters and high traffic air Miami Airport and others will greatly make air travel safer.

Just a breaking of this story travelling Bahamas jets and parents, grandparents, spouse, little children, babies, tourists, friends, children travelling to colleges,politicans, and all beloved travellers having exposed to this horrible horrible lack of safety equipment warrants fullest prosecution of putting all of us in danger.

Thanks the Reporter for exposing this danger and FAA for looking out for the Bahamians and guests safety.

Passing of the Campaign Finance should be known by the Opposition leader to have been by overtakin an passed by events.

Some $500M to some$200M annually in corruption and who get jailed? Ferreigner influence peddler bin throwing parties while the piece of beachfromt property doubled in size without lawful permission and after decade? Still aint noone in jail. Recent alleged charges involving politicians an money cleaning contract, an shingles been on an on and noone ever found guilty, Sooooo whats da big deal when entire public done know what time a day it ain't likely gettin or finding anyone guilty....an like sooooo when last taxpayer paying salary Mr. Laroda even manage after years to find out an do audits on politicians anmual assets...?????

Former Governor of the Central Bank of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas "...warned that speed of Abaco's.post-Dorian Reconstruction could be undermined by the government deporting much of the necessary workforce back to Haiti."

Well this is quite normal expected role the govt of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas is carrying out the laws of the security of the nation, in deporting illegals and the former Governor of the law abiding, Financial Regulatorr of Banks, Financial institutions Central Bahamas equates these illegal migrants deported as somehow necessary reconstruction workforce for Abaco, an island of the Bahamas and just across the borders of the US.

Bahamian public including the former Governor of the Central Bank knows Central Bank publishes quarterly CB reports detailing Bahamian Construction activity of Legal construction worker employees who are not to be deported, compiled by Central Bank and fully knows there are well trained experienced construction workforce in the Bahamas.

So prominent realtor wants ventors not to over price homes for sale pointing out " average " selling price can be 40-50% below initial listing.
So selling at half price.

Prices are based by buyers, lenders, lawyers, salespersons, in the industry using Appraisal Valuations by Certified Appraisers selected by professional education, experience etcetc. by Banks, Mortgage institutions to do verified values for the market.

Now knowing that selling prices being reduced by half price to sell is even worse than Verified Appraisal Report with Market Valuation, Replacemevt valuation
Forced Market Valuation etc used by banks who themselves list for salle properties and would be a major concern to banks lending funds and holding presently Billions of dollars real estate as collateral.
