Reparations committee to be constituted soon
Should we not also go after the Africans who sold their brothers into Slavery? Oh, they have no money to sue for......... Slavery was, and still is a human disgrace, almost every race a some point or the other has been enslaved, Slavery still exists today. As to the modern day Bahamas, What better way to control your slaves than to have them believe they are free? Couldn't possibly be that those who claimed to have freed us, have also in turn enslaved us?

Davis quiet on bidders for BEC
They're not trying to sell BEC, they're going to split it into "Generation Co" and "Transmission/Distribution Co", and cut a deal for For private sector Management of the two resultant entities. Ostensibly trying to avoid being the cost cutting union busting bad guy, and remove themselves from interfering with the operations thereof, and cutting off the ability to turn power back on for non payers during political leverage times. At the same time, hopefully, a net metering or Net billing regime will be established, allowing consumers and businesses to go Solar. The delays are not a good sign however, usually signifies back room skimming and personal fronting deals.

Private firm to begin remediation work at dump
Brave Davis, Perry Christie and Kenred Dorsett now bear full responsibility for the toxic fumes spewing from the smouldering public dump, wreaking havoc on the health and well being of so many elderly and very young Bahamians. Their non-transparent back-room dealing involving Renew Bahamas will leave our public dump smouldering for many years to come, with hundreds to die a horrible death and thousands to suffer from respiratory ailments of the worse kind. These three are evil cruel monsters of the worse kind who should be made to pay for their horrific failings to extinguishing the existing dump fires and keep it fire-free; failings on their part that rise to the level of crimes against humanity that they should be made fully accountable for.

'Bahamas can lead region over reparations'
Ohhh .. I am so repressed. I need reparations and I need it bad. The wounds of slavery hurt me so much, I that I need a compress of cold cash to assuage the pain. I tink dat I grew a dred lock overnight, and I deserve a lil extra of da cash. Never mind dat the dredlock comes outta da bottom end, it is still a dreadlock and deserves the respect of my slavery heritage. It is a sign that I carries for my pore, repressed, enslaved people, who are much less deserving den I. Hell, I should get more money for being pure black -- ne-er mine dose reds who say dat dey is come from slaves -- dems liars and house slaves. I remember actually working the fields (in my repressed DNA memory) and pain of slavery hurts much. Can I get dat cash on my Flowers card?

NIA??? Don't make me laugh. I'm guessing that this is suppose to be the Bahamian version of the United State's CIA??? It's more like an inversion! What a joke. In case people haven't realized, there is nothing about this country that exemplifies intelligence. Especially coming from a branch of government. They can't even get a dump fire under control. Thanks for another good laugh Perry.

unlike government when I am broke I can not go to my boss and say, "well sir I have been stupid and spent all my money on all sorts of crap that has garnered No return so due to MY failure I will add on a %7.5 percent charge to YOU on my next pay stub". See that is not how the REAL world works, only stink ass politicians can say "we have failed to take care with YOUR money so now we will FORCE YOU TO GIVE US MORE TO SQUANDER". #bahamasgovernment=fail

Freeport ‘stagnated’; Cayman attracted $6bn
If you want to know what the Cayman Islands did, is go to www.caymanenterprisecity.com You will be astounded. They created businesses out of thin air with talented individuals and companies. Here is the package in a nutshell:
1) When you apply to join the special economic zone known as Cayman Enterprise City, they are mandated by law to reply in 10 days.
2) Applicants once approved are given a free pass for residency and work permits -- for free!
3) A free business licence.
4) Moving to the Caymans allows you to bring all of your stuff, household, work, car, etc without duty and import tax.
5) Free work permits for employees.
6) Office space, telephone, fax and receptionist
All of this costs the businessman about $1,000 a month. That is it. In Freeport, the application alone costs $1,000, the business licence is priced out of this world compared to Cayman and they keep gouging you by nickel and diming you to death.
The Cayman folks realise that you don't make the money by bleeding the businesses dry. You set them up with minimal obstructions, you let them operate unfettered, and they create massive amounts of economic offset, including jobs, spending, housing, contributing to the local GDP or economy, and giving the country a positive trade surplus.
There is a special section of the Cayman Enterprise City for jobs for Caymani residents only. These are jobs created by foreigners. Except they aren't jobs. They are careers. High paying, knowledge industry jobs. Look for yourself. They are high paying jobs (the Cayman dollar trades about $1.20, so a $36,000 a year job is about $45,000 or about $850 a week).
The Port has wasted its opportunity, by its sheer, bloody, pigheadedness and gouging. All businesses applying are seen as fresh meat to be bled dry and then slaughtered. If they just got a lick of common sense, and threw the place wide open with minimum impediments and a great ease of doing business, Freeport could be the place to be.
Will it happen? I doubt it. They have their heads so far up their rectal cavities, that their severe tunnel vision won't let them see past the instant gratification of collecting fees at every turn.
