While I do feel the pain of those affected by Dorian, as I was as well, it is not the responsibility of the government to rebuild the homes of individuals. That is what insurance is for. We need to get away from this mentality that you build a home and it is destroyed and you expect government to rebuild it.

We must empower people to do for themselves. that is the role of government after providing essential services

Further, Pinder needs to note that the garbage collection is the role of local government and not central government. He needs to take that message to the local government leaders in Abaco.

Just reading some of what he said shows he has a fresh way of thinking and is about inclusion and openness. Starting off in the right direction on what kind of leader this country really needs.

Best choice in the lot that are offering for the FNM leadership.

SO the Minister of Health has now become the competent authority. Wow!

Spot on. The new rules are the same old rules in disguised, with the same health travel visa that they criticized so much. Oh, and where is the free testing?

PLP surely fooled the people with the New day that has the OLD heads leading it.

Only in the Bahamas we make it seem that BJCs mean something. The Minister just sounds completely dumb with his comments. Guess thats the D average coming through.

IS this the University of Wulff Road voodo maths?

In fact in Florida, there is no tax charged on food items.

not to mention lack of medical services

You really expected something different from the people who introduced this regressive VAT? Old heads don't have new ideas

That sadly is what people in our country like. We put the same recycled people in position over and repeatedly and expect different results. You will never get NEW thinking from the same OLD heads.

We need a new generation of leaders not tainted with fresh ideas and a willingness to go against the status quo.
