The good part about living in a democratic society is we all have the right to make our own choice. If we are smart... and I believe we are.... noone will persuade us to vote outside of our conscience especially the vote yes or vote no "pastors". By now I believe that most of us have already decided. Both sides are wasting money. This is not an election campaign. Bahamians are too smart for that.
Lol. I was thinking the same thing. Why would you put a statement like that out there? Me thinks I really need to get to know my AG's in case I or a family member get in trouble and need some help. lol
What I don't like is the PM's constant resort to the old heads (mostly from the Pindling era who have already served) for these posts. While I don't question Fr. Moultrie's integrity I am concerned that our PM is not even trying to find young blood - and I am sure they are out there. How did the old heads get the experience in the first place? Didn't they have to start somewhere? And what will they do when these old heads die off and the new generation of PLP's have not yet been trained. Scary thought.
The whole thing reeks of hypocrisy. How in the world do you allow persons who are breaking the law to actually advertise it and while they are adverstising it, it is STILL illegal.
If Bahamians can be "bought" by this, then we deserve the repercussions!
Now real_talk, do you seriously believe that even after this so-called "audit" that if a case was found for misappropriating our (the Bahamian people's) funds, that anyone will be arrested and hauled before the courts? Me thinks not! History has shown that Bahamian crookedry at its highest levels is never ever dealt with. We are fooling ourselves if we think otherwise. But I leave a very tiny window of hope for this Government to shock me.
Historically, although the RPT Act gives the Government the right to place a lien on property for unpaid taxes (with the right to repossess it), the law is not enforced. All the Government has to do is enforce the law. Or perhaps attach the requirement to something that people have to pay like getting their buildings insured. Make it mandatory that insurance is not issued without proof of payment just like some of the banks do who do not give you a Satisfaction of Mortgage without proof of payment of taxes... just an idea, of course.
If you ask me they are all darned crooks! The only idiots in the middle are the poor and hardworking taxpayers. Gone are the days when good citizens actually entered politics to HELP the country. It's more a case of let's help ourselves!

Isn't Ms. Hamilton the former the President of the Nurses Union? If so, she should be able to answer these questions herself.
