EDITOR, The Tribune
IT IS absolutely incredulous that the ultra-hypocritical utterance, by Bradley Roberts at a PLP campaign rally in Hatchet Bay, could so swamp both The Tribune front page and Business lead page, over an FNM candidate owing some $9,500 to Bahamas Customs.
Not to see Bradley Roberts, two feet firmly in his mouth with this, blows my mind. I would have hoped you would have asked Mr Roberts for any feedback he could give on the Road Traffic Department’s missing funds, or the Post Office Savings Bank malfeasance fisaco, or any of the other hundreds and hundreds and thousands and thousands of cases of public money that is still unaccounted for, and very likely stolen, on his PLP Prime Minister’s watch.
And then, what the devil does that say about the proper running of the Finance Ministry’s Customs Department, that, with an established and uncontested debt on its books, for nearly four years, it has allowed Mr Mackey to “forget” about it. Yes, on Mr Roberts’ PLP Prime Minister’s watch.
How much more money is owed to Bahamas Customs, if I might be so curious as to ask? And how much more money is owed to the Real Property Tax Department, and business licence, and Bank of Bahamas? And how much other money has Mr Roberts’ PLP government wasted of the Bahamian taxpayers’ money.
And Bradley Roberts has the unmitigated gall to castigate the FNM for a candidate’s paltry (by comparison) debt to Customs. With all due respect, I think it would have been far better to leave blank spaces in your paper, instead of spending money on ink on this matter.

Mr. Raine sounds awfully sympathetic (presumably for desperate political reasons) to anyone who would conveniently forget they have a past due debt of $9,500. I suppose we should all thank Mr. Raine for warning each of us to think twice before we ever extend him any credit.

Wow! You REALLY missed Mr. Raine's point. Perhaps you should re-read his letter and, if so inclined, reconsider this post.
I, more often the not, give your posts a thumbs up; but this one deserves a thumbs down.

I don't think Mr. Raine is excusing the candidate's 'bad memory'. The points he raises about monies owed to Government Agencies and wastage of the People's funds are very valid ones, don't you think?

You obviously have not read many of my remarks about McCartney posted to this website over several years. Pity because I thought you made it a point to read all of my postings.
