The wheels of Justice grind slow but exceedingly fine. Why anyone supports his naked political ambition is a puzzle.

Who remembers plp mp obie wilchcombe going to T@C to attend his "cousins" wedding to some movir starlet? This was before the Johm Travolta disgusting debacle, or his infamous text from the jry room. These plp's somit else, I tell you.

The writer says; "The concerned and honourable medical and pharmaceutical fraternity,". It should also be noted that this fraternity is extremely lucrative, those involved are very much invested in protecting their exclusive franchise. This is the basis I suspect of their opposition to anyone else but themselves having control of dispensing medical marijuana.

It would be so good if one of the mega-rich gambling oligarchs was not given the contract to organize this, however one lesson learnt from the corruption smeared Christie plp government is that money given to the right people can buy you future wealth.

If your paycheck is controlled by the circus master, and you are offered the position of vice- putty ringmaster rather than clown-car-clown then you gonna take the opportunity. With very few exceptions people's decisions are based on power and money.

Much of what happens in the political arena occurs unreported behind closed doors. Suffice to say that it may be interesting to see if Robert is granted the government contract, that he has tried to get for so long, under the next administration. sigh.

Please note that no suggestion of a 3 member HOA was made. As for the senate, it is a powerless toothless tiger, and a complete waste of our taxpayers money. The House of Lords in the UK is a ridiculous anachronism. There is talk of major adjustments to the way members are selected.

The political system in the country is based on the UK'ssystem of parliamentary democracy. The typical size of an MPs constituency is around 38,000 voters. If the Bahamas had a similar ratio of MPs to voters, then there would be 3 members only in The House of Assembly. Like most all government entities the HOA is grossly overstaffed.

An unrealistic goal, every new constituency costs the tax payers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Why not give Guana Cay it's own MP, and Green Teurtle, Man'o'war, etc., etc.?

Well, rosiepit, the figures that you cite just do not seem correct to my cursory reading. Perhaps they are based on data suppled by Bahamas government entities which is just about as good and trustworthy as it should be....
