concerned799 - you are wrong. Your statement "Give people a job, and a hope, and you'll see wonders... " - should instead be "Give people a job, and a hope, and you'll see more babies."
Mr Markantonis, what do you mean you are working with Government on the crime problem? Have you offered to build ONE or two new court rooms? That is what we need. There is a backlog in bringing cases to court that will NEVER be addressed unless government officials start seeing Judges sitting on the bench with no defendants before them (ie. the Registry didn't schedule any and the room sits empty but the Judge gets paid).
As of now, it is just the opposite situation.
We need more Judges and more court rooms !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
We also need to REDUCE sentences for simple possession of marijuana so that jail cells can be free to house actual criminals (like the ones that rob tourists and make headlines in the newspaper).
That will only happen when the Christian Council supports such a move. If you guys would let it be quietly (and unofficially) be known that you give less consideration to employment applications from persons who attend churches that are members of the Christian Council - that might make an impact. The reason you would? Because the CC keeps the jail cells full of non-criminals by virtue of their fake virtue.

So is Butler suggesting that these abuses did not take place while they were in power? This is a new thing altogether in the Bahamas? Funny.
That doesn't make it right - BUT, she should say what they will do if the are given power again.
