So we back to the urban renewal way of being able to run urban renewal because you live urban renewal?

If Moncur was such a violence interruptor, then why has he not done it in his community and solved the violence? Why are we always doing the same stupidity in this country?. Hiring people who have no track record of solving the problems we are paying them big money to do. Another hand in the cookie jar getting paid for political support pre election.

You could not have said it better.

Don't understand these letter writers who will not look at their country's won stringent requirements and complain about that, but want to point fingers at our own which as you stated is more generous than theirs.

Well said!! You hit the nail on the head

I hope this is just a joke. If Rodney Moncur has been hired as a consultant on crime, we in serious trouble in this country.

But then again the government giving out all kinds of positions to people who don't have any qualifications to do the job, starting with the PM.

Sadly these ministers are brain dead. People who have never done anything before cannot be expected to perform and think fo solutions just because they get a position.

We need to put people in power who have a proven track record of performance before they come to political office.

Asked how government will handle the inflation Davis points to shipping costs one one company that no ones knows about being reduced? Where is that company shipping form? What are they bringing in that will have a radical impact on reducing inflation costs?

Just a bunch of hot air being blown by Davis. Welcome to the so called new day government.

Seriously? An appointment that is just a cushy job for protection? Only in the Bahamas this crap can happen. Besides, shouldn't this be reason for him to resign his "ambassadorship"?

Congrats to our swimming team. A job well done. If Davis had taken the time to look at what our Carifta teams were doing, he would have been with the team in Barbados, and not Jamaica, Then maybe again, it may have been better not to go to Barbados, as our team in Barbados may have had the results of the track team in Jamaica with his presence.

Would be interesting, especially as the government wants to name sailing the national sport, and event we are doing nothing with on the international scene, especially compared to the swimmers.

So who is there to go to? I'm open to honest dialogue on the matter.

While I understand what you are saying, at present there are no alternatives. We need a real leader who will galvanize people towards a vision that encompasses people to believe the Bahamas can be better.
