Wasn't he off flying somewhere on a speaking engagement just couple days before the budget communication?

Clearly the Minnis camp is trying to create issues as they see the writing on the wall.

Miller complains about Free Town association election going forward, and there is a letter addressed to him after they had met on the issues he raises stating that all the elections would be stopped, except that the Free Town association, as those persons were going in unopposed.

People like these, it is time for them to go.

These are allegations, not proven facts.

So how can you assume they will do this as a government.

At least get the whole story.

Is this the same Valley Boys that said they would never rush in junkanoo with the New Providence Junkanoo Corporation running things?

Name me one government enterprise that has given service and is not bankrupt, and always depending on a subsidy from government to operate?

Government enterprises are not the answer. It is political and no accountability. Prune for bad financial operations.

Again, all taxes that you mentioned.

And even when you increase taxes as you say on foreigners, they look to go where they can get the best cost. So now we start to tax ourselves out of the market for their services.

Someone please explain this voodoo maths to me please. You not cutting expenses, not raising taxes, but finding new sources or income? What sources of income has our governments ever had other than to raise taxes on the people?

If that is not the biggest joke. Please note that in 2012 people voted against Christie, and not for Minnis.

And that is the problem. It should not be about Minnis agenda, but about what is best for the country after dialogue with the people.

And I stopped listening to Minnis when he stopped having press conference and wanted to only do national addresses so he would not have to answer questions from the press.

Minnis needs to stay out of leadership. Hope Pintard beats the pants off of him and send him into retirement.

And Minnis excites people? This comment has to be a joke. Then again, a blind supporter would say anything without thinking.

Mr. Pintard doesn't think the voters hare Minnis, the voters themselves have expressed. If Minnis comes back, FNMs will stay home again.

This myth needs to stop. Hubert Ingahm came to power in 1992 with a country for sale and a broken economy. less than a year later he had to deal with Hurricane Andrew. ANd look what he produced in 5 years. Minnis just was a plain dictator with and was about himself. If he had listened to the advice of his won people, he would have fair way better in his 5 years.

I do not comment to foolishness, but this is the most unintelligent, ignorant, lack of common sense and blind political statement ever made.
