What is a "tax-free zone"?????????? We have Freeport and look at what that has come to after 60 years.............. Grand Bahama has become more dependent to government thn most other Family Islands.

Doc Minnis and Peter Turnquest need to strategize how to convince Bran to rejoin the FNM. The FNM cannot win as long as the DNA exists as a viable option to 8-10% of the electorate.. Either that or they have to attract at least 3 sitting PLP MPs to join them............ thats a real possibility right now.

Either reach out to Bran or undermine the PLP ................... their message can do both.

Give all BEC workers presently under contract severance pay and send them home like Bahamar.......... the precedent has already been set.

Then start afresh with a new set of employees who are willing to work in the best interest of the country. The BEC millstone has to be broken from around the necks of Bahamians.

COB students today are wimps .............. mamas boys and DIVA chicks ... they need to understand that they are the future leaders of the country because the 20% that get overseas scholarships dont come back anymore.

If the present COB students do not have anymore fight in them........... the future is DULL. They cannot expect their future to be BRIGHT if they are so laid-back and reactive ................ like their parents.

This is the sad down-side to giving civilians the right to bear arms.......... innocent kids die and there is no better public safety.

Last year Britain had 50 murders and the top US murder city with millions of people had 300 murders ....................... we had 120 murders with 400,000 people................... SAD

Birdie & Tal .................... yall talking bullshit. This whole country knows that LBT is a resilient politician that will play a major role in the 2017 election. This is just a bump in the road for her in a long political career still ahead of her .......... she is only in her early 50s.

The FNMs are in good shape for the 2017 election with solid deep-bench transparent leadership and a visionary chairman ................... as compared to the dinosaur/corrupt PLPs and wishywashy one-man-band DNAs.

loretta demonstrated the spirit of true democracy. a loss in a party election is not the end of a political career. she is a powerful voice in the fnm.

the delegates donot speak for all voters.

study political history ........... e.g. abe lincoln

Pintard is the ideal young Bahamian who can galvanize the Bahamian youth (under 30) to begin to shape a long term vision for the post-Pindling Bahamas (Christie & Ingraham were Pingdomites).

This vision must break with the political and economic status quo of the present Bahamian society. It starts with legalizing marijuana, introducing income tax, land tenure/ownership reform, island-specific diversification (each island with its own unique economy), real local government & tax retention, education reform, widespread use of renewable energy and constitution reform - create a republic, gender equality and restructure the branches of government to create more openess and accountability.

That is where Pintard needs to take the FNM in the next TWO years.

The FNM has replaced a good Long Island woman (Loretta Turner) with a good Long Island Man (Peter Turnquest). Its still all good!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peter has the perfect disposition to be the right hand man for HAM. He doesnt have to compete for the limelight ............. like Brave

We gat ur back Peter!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its the judicial system
