Trump: US, allies attacking Syria to stop chemical weapons
Don't know what world you have been living in ...... USA has been meddling in governments from the days of Teddy Roosevelt in Cuba and Puerto Rico ...... to Israel ....... to Vietnam ...... Who orchestrated the election of Hubert Ingraham?????
So, if the USA would not remove Assad, that is a political decision beyond the SEALs .... and it has little to do with the Syrian civil war.

BPL unveil job cuts
The Government will make headway with BPL ........ Bannister is a bulldog Minister.
The Unions might as well accept this fact and shutup and prepare for downsizing......... Too much deadweight, overheads and national financial liabilities for 1000 workers at a BROKE public entity.

Unbelievable company. Bills 2 months behind. Cut you off even if your credit limit exceeds the amount owed by $500 and raised the rate of $19.99 to $29.99 without my consent and now have raised it again to $59,99 without my consent or informing me. Bloody shambles.

Maybe the Bahamas Law will also include that any Foreign registered Child Sex offender be placed on the Bahamas Immigration stop list. Lets make a difference not only in the Bahamas but in the world.

There you go again playing that tired old racism card. All you're doing is giving away your age. Younger Bahamians today (the under age 55 crowd) are not fooled by the evil ways in which elitist politicians manipulated our grand parents.

Labour Day tragedy: PM gives national address (video)
@bogart I agree 100%. I've made so many mistakes over the years in any number of areas and you can just put yourself in someone else's shoes and imagine how in one second any one of those mistakes could have taken a turn for the worse. I empathisize with the gentleman, he is in trouble, I pray he's able to deal with the consequences of his actions, at the same time I sympathize with the families and friends who lost loved ones or have family members with serious injuries, possibly bread winners in the family.

Why does the Government not sell off each BPL island facility and let them privatise it??? ...... I will bet that a privatised Abaconian BPL facility will be more efficient than a public corporation that is burdened by Unions and deadweight workers. ...... at least think about it.

MOST Abaconians are hard working people with a good thing going in a very special part of the Bahamas. Isn’t it so very sad that the few things that Abaconians look to the gov’t for, FAILS them? Security, safety, and electricity.... Gov’t has it’s hands full in Nassau,but please support the needs of our Family Islands Dr. Minnis.

He says ""We are going to have to look at that to ensure we don't cause significant shocks to..."
Sir, you don't have to "look at" anything. You ARE the Min of Fin. You can make a regulation that no property tax bill be more than double what it was the previous year. Then it would take 3 years to reach 8-fold instead of immediate. That would give "the people" (who's "time" it supposedly is) time to catch up instead of the valuation system being given time.
Which is more important? People? or Valuation System?
You have the power to decide.

The taxman deserves every bit of bullying. He or she is a fiscal parasitic lackey secure in his or her government job living at the expense of every tax paying Bahamian. Constipated petty bureaucrats are the lowest form of social life, right alongside corrupt politicians and predatory pastors.
