The Adastra Gardens extension Housing project of a further 51 homes has to be economically questioned in the market there or is this pure political generation?

Almost in the same breath we heard in a Senator’s Budget contribution as to the negative position of the Mortgage Corporation and the many mortgages in arrears.

We all know the monthly “depressed property” list is long so I have to ask the sole purpose of this Government project has to be to provide homes to those probably marginal that can afford them but to the potential new owner the assurance that you can be in enormous mortgage arrears but bless government they do nothing.

Yes, new construction is an acknowledged method to pull you out of a deep hole but had we not better ensure there are 51 persons who have a good enough credit rating and do not have 80%+ of their salary deducted that may pass a litmus test.

The National Development Plan - did we receive the full version or did Cabinet censor the section on the latent problem within the country.... perceived high level of corruption?

Minister Rolle and Cabinet Office might consider rethinking the publishing of the full report as without the eradication of corruption our economic well being is enveloped in a terminal cancer. The National Development Report was a total confirmation that since 1973 successive governments of whatever ilk failed and failed miserably.

The AG comments to the reporters question that PM Christie should resign? Boy obviously Madam AG is scared of job security - it has to be asked: so government which is led by PM Christie pushed the agenda for equality as a major platform in their election campaign - they bring it to Parliament and then the People reject it - how can’t the Prime Minister, as Leader of Government not take the fullest responsibility? Baha Mar the same, he totally supported Izmirlian in 2005 and look what we have got?

Look around us everything seems to be collapsing - Passport Office, Road Traffic, Post Office, BAMSI, COB financial problems, Real Property Tax collection unrealistic policy for mortgage relief, the banks have to take some financial blame as much as the mortgagees - almost zero accountability but the list goes on and on.

What is frightening if the opposition parties, who collectively from the 2007 election retained the majority vote, do not see sense and agree to a coalition position we will be faced with enduring a further four-years of a PLP led, oh yes, accept it the PLP is not throwing PM Christie under the bus, by one Rt Hon Perry Gladstone Christie whether we like it or not.

The sale focus of the past FNM players should be gather the opposition together and stop this madness, power-playing and intent to grab if returned to office.

IDB confirms that Tourism is down…. my previous letters forecast that but what is really scary is that ‘stay-overs’ are considerably down.... our bread and butter.

It is time for all really national feeling citizens to understand there is a grave critical danger looming in 2017 which would set us back 30 years. Non-PLP’s get together and oust the PLP for the foreseeable future giving a new chance through rational change for our young people.
