Ms. Wilson should get her members to concentrate on educating our kids.Raises should be based on performance when the kids grades go up then I would be with the teachers asking for more money,but with these low grades they should probably get a pay cut.

All these bills seem all fine and well but we have far more important issues than this right now.Let's get crime under control,let's get employment up and give Bahamians access to all the wealth that's here in our great country that is only being brought down by our leaders with no vision who are still stuck in yesteryear.

This is total foolishness, we as Bahamians are so stupid, how can we allow foreigners to come into our country and do something that we can't do this makes no sense to me I don't care how anyone try to justify it. I don't gamble but I don't believe anyone should do something in my home that I can't do.Our elected leaders need to lead and say to hell with the Christian Council because they are only interested in fattening their own pockets they are a bunch of hypocrites.If it is illegal for one let it be illegal for all plain and simple,AMEN.

This is corruption to the highest order Mrs. Gibson and Mr. Fitzgerald should both be prosecuted but we all know this will never happen when will this same old bullshit stop.

countryfirst says...

Both administrations are to blame for this because they pander to the lazy who want something for nothing and have overstaffed the public service and allowed unions to have too much power. I say disband all unions immediately and let people get raises and promotions based on performance not length of service or seniority.

If the government simply collect it's outstanding real property and other taxes we will have no need for V.A.T. and with their bad track record of collecting taxes this tax will not work and only the small man will suffer. Why don't they consider lowering import duties which will increase volume and in turn generate more revenue, these are suppose to be smart guys this is simple math lower taxes equal higher revenue because of higher volume.

countryfirst says...

V.A.T. will have Bahamians smuggling to America just like Haitians and Jamaicans in a few years.Only the politicians and there cronies will be able to survive,if you think crime can't get worse wait until V.A.T. is imposed upon us,as if customs duty is not high enough.

This is bullshit nothing will be done criminals will continue to do as they please. Mrs. Gibson just let some of her clients go free on a weapons charge not long ago.She should of been relieved of her position and facing charges herself,but this is how deep corruption runs in the bahamas.
