If the reef is severely damaged it may take decades to grow back. In a country with well-functioning legal and judicial systems such as our Neighbour to the north, this damage would have resulted in very very high fines for the freight boat operator.

Phill up has decided on the NIB. But what Phil up decided we will have to wait and see. Maybe the Shameless one should be put back in charge, But he already got his, he is living rich and large. .. NIB can't buy no more ambulances now that Christie gone, ... Sixty four thousand dollar salaries sounds like a lot of fun, . . 'Cept that money is our pensions, Which many will not get, Better buy a number, probably a safer bet,

It is hard to believe but in other counties the power companies manage to continue supplying electricity even during thunderstorms. It can only be some sort of magic that they have access to. So does BPL have any Obeah men on the payroll, and if not, why not??

The plp politician P.G.Christie will be written down in the history of the country as being the cabinet minister who caused and presided over the shameful annahilation of Mr. Levy's Hatchet Bay farm and the most shameful referendum to legalize gambling, leading to the finncial ruin of so many and the gross enrichment of a handful. His legacy can never be changed.

The non existant problem does actually exist; not for the cititizens but for the State, The State wants to get 12& tax on each and every transaction and that is not happening at the moment. When all transaction are digital the State can better monitor them and collect more tax from the people and the business owners. Selling your car to your cousin? The State will want 12% of that price.

There has been obvious and egregious fiscal mismanagement in every administration since a majority rule government got into power, The elephant in the economy's dining room is the tens of thousands who are employed by the state, is it really 40% of the total workforce? . State employed workers do not create wealth in an economy, they only absorb the wealth created by the private sector. A better alternative, less bureaucrats needed, to income tax, is estate tax, what used to be called death duties. Simply put 35% of everyone's estate is remitted to government upon death. If this ever happens then I predict many more visits by wealthy elected politicians to Cayman and the Turks; that both are offshore tax havens used by rich people to minimize taxes will purely coincidental.
