Government is suppose to be pressing for these most unsafe and unsanitary shanty downs to be demolished at the earliest possible time for obvious public safety reasons, and also to discourage future illegal aliens from coming to our shores to face ruthless exploitation as a cheap souce of labour. But the very misguided Sears is a great believer that these pathetic and very dangerous shanty towns should be allowed to grow and thrive. If Sears had his way, the complete Haitianization of The Bahamas would be just about complete by now.

The amount of bandits and terrorists we have in this country is amazing. And none get locked up. Hold the government hostage with strike threats to get your offering from the cookie jar and all of a sudden the gas dealers say everything is normal. And the Snake says they should be rewarded. WOW!

Did Doctors Sands ever want universal health care for Bahamians.? I doubt it very much he seems as if he was always against Universal Health care.
Bahamians will do well not to allow the doc to fool them again.

The former “Most Honourable Prime Minister” Dr Hubert Minnis, will undoubtedly go down in history as The Crown Land Prime Minister, if for no other reason than his largesse in this sphere. I don’t know if there is any register anywhere where one can discover what Crown Land any particular Prime Minister transfers, from the Crown or Treasury to private citizens and Corporations, but it would surely make interesting reading in this case.

‘Incredibly prohibitive’: Retail tariff cuts push
I once considered a business making jellies and preserves. But the glass containers were subject to 40% duty, and it is heavy to ship.
While mine was to be made with cane sugar, I would not be able to beat the commercial product made with high fructose corn syrup which is imported duty free.
So there are anomalies out there.

There is so much talk about reducing taxes and and yet we continue to drown in debt. For every dollar discounted, there must be a dollar realized. Where do we propose to find the money to cover the suggested tax cuts, and start paying down our debt?

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.

No one can believe anything the "No COME BACK" Minnis has to say, He lies so much. He seems not to wish folks from over the hill well
Careful attention should be paid to Flood lands Grand Bahama can speak to that,.

Fidelity bank chief Bowe says it would be unwise to reduce taxes on gas
He has some valid points, maybe not worded the best way, but he is simply saying the spotlight is being placed on the government when it should be placed on the companies fuel is being received from, the gov. does not control the price, suppliers do and the gov. did not raise the tax it stays current and is based on fuel price. We cannot control gas prices unless we are producing it locally.
