This article is a little convoluted, It seems the Court of appeal president is confused as to what he is suggesting. In one instance do aways with jurors (and allow one person to decide; ripe for corruption). In another, give a choice between jury and judge.

Voodoo maths gone to bed by the minister. The price for carbon credits is $35. Yet, the minister says the Bahamas own can sell for $100. wow.

Then he says that UB is training a "suite of scientists." Kill me deal laughing. UB training scientists. OK.

Guess the minister is preparing for April Fool's day.

You would think that rather than giving people a piece of the pie, these politicians would try to give people their own ingredients so that they can make their own pie.

You are correct.

I agree the GBPA has not done all it could sine St. George passed. But what amazes me with these people who complain about the GBPA and want the government to step in, they don't look at the areas outside of the Port that the government has control over.

Left to the government, all of Grand Bahama would be like East End, EMR and West End.

I just don;t understand why people cannot open their eyes and see that.

On GBPA has not made GB better

First, it is not necessary to raise NIB. It is necessary to deal with all the wasted expenditure, the excessive salaries, the use as a slush fund, and the money owed NIB by government.

Second, if a business owes NIB, NIB goes after them and charges interest. The government owes NIB and nothing is done. Go figure.

Some people really put their heads in the sand.

First, the constitution does not speak to christian values. It is the preamble, which holds no constitutional weight, that references christian values.

Second, even though the preamble says christian values, it does not mean everyone practices that.

Third, how many Bahamians just horoscope, halloween, coco soup, and all other kinds of practices do practice obeah in the Bahamas.

Because one is a christian does not mean everyone else.

On Obeah not a cultural norm here
