Still don't understand to this day why Neil Hartnell or anyone else for that matter would give this bag of wind the time of day much less print any of the verbal garbage he constantly spews.
This sack of manure and his minions are one of the prime reasons BPL is in the state its in.

I feel sorry for the 54 employees who lost their jobs, but I don't think the sub contractor community will shed many tears as Cavalier is well known for short changing or simply not paying their subs, a Tricky Dick trademark, just ask the Flameless boys about the recent Hospital contract.

No question about it. If you, me or any other citizen not closely associated with either PLP or FMM were to commit such fraudulent acts we would be doing plenty of time.

Instead of boring us with more Union drivel while living off the fat of said unions and the taxpayers, why doesn't Mr. Pinder show us his pilot model by forming his own company and staffing it from the local talent pool?
Would be interesting to see if he was still in business a year later.

Talk about adding more needless red tape to an already beribboned process at the Port Authority, also a not so veiled attempt to butter their own bread. Do we boaters really need more harassment than we already get from the defense force? The jetski and go-fast boat cowboys doing foolishness in the harbor are generally ignored while the weekend pleasure boaters are routinely boarded. And they now want to complicate the very workable mailboat system, typical, if it isn't broken fix it.

When I look at the quality of those who are currently serving as Independents with all their personal agendas and oversized egos I can only shudder, if that is the way forward I'll stick with the devil(s) I know!

The other points that SP doesn't seem to grasp are that (A) many no skilled Bahamians feel that jobs like gardening or maids work is beneath their dignity, and (B) many other Bahamians don't feel comfortable employing them in any capacity because they're lazy and unproductive and they steal. Ask any Bahamian business owner what their attrition rate of staff is and their inventory losses due to employee theft, many Bahamian feel that stealing from their employers is their right.

And who will preside over this conglomerate of independent MPs? Are you suggesting governance by committee or will one, or some MPs, be more equal than others??
Pigs have a better chance of flying that a coalition of Independent MPs in this country effectively governing.
Be careful what you wish for, you might get it, in this case, anarchy!
