POLICE prevented FNM leader Michael Pintard from restoring the Pineforest Subdivision Park in West Grand Bahama on Friday.
The park has been neglected for years. Mr Pintard said that while campaigning before the by-election, residents asked him to restore the park.
He and his team secured heavy equipment trucks to assist with the clean-up and the installation of a basketball court. He also acquired basketball rims and poles. “We will not stand down,” he told The Tribune after police blocked him. “Our job is to stand with residents in defiance of nonsensical ideas by political operatives. The PLP government has failed to remediate the park in Seagrape and the park in Pineforest Subdivision.”
One resident said: “It is a crying shame they are stopping the progress taking place at the park. It is about politics. They have not done anything, and it is a failure on their part.”

The Gubment refuses to fix up a park and the police stop citizens from attempting to do so themselves. Gubment really likes nasty hey!
What's it tell us? Y'all live in nasty conditions while we jet setting and handing out contracts to family and friends.

Because other countries don't say it, it makes it alright to spend millions on entourages instead of feeding citizens? Nice logic.

They are not on holiday. They are showing the face of the Bahamas. There is nothing to compare with being in a place in Person. Flesh and blood heart and spirit. Touch and feel. Not like that fellow who only went to call the Bahamas corrupt. That is who you all are. Dumb and dangerous.

The citizenry cares not who or how their park is repaired or maintained, just that it actually happpens. Politics is a means to get govt action out of those who ignore you during most of their term... so be it! What are the others offering? step up!
