BEC chairman Miller vows to lower bills
Positive, you are obviously the most important person here if you feel that you can order people off the stage. That is self importance at its worst. And it is not a boast, the point is too many people want that big 4WD or huge plasma TV that's bigger than their friends' - and they are using the public's (our) money to finance their lifestyles. Credit is a way of life in The Bahamas, an unfortunate inheritance of US culture.

Jury unanimously found Jessie Williams not guilty
I’m a bit shock by some of the comments made; clearly some were made out of ignorance. No one knows what really went on in their marriage. I know a lot of pretentious married couples, who act a certain way in public but behind closed doors their different. I’m sure their relationship wasn’t like that in the beginning; remember she said yes to him at want point when he proposed to her. My heart goes out to them both and their families; especially for her knowing that she has to live with what she did for the rest of her life. If her husband was so abusive, why didn’t she leave him? Her husband may have been a drunkard and abuser, but is that a requirement to end his life. He wasn’t born a drunkard something led him to it. Remember, God created all of us and He wish, “For all men to be save”, He also said,” Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay”. That is why He sent His Son to die for us, it’s because of Christ where still here today.

He was their lawyer but he is no longer their lawyer until he is their lawyer again. If it sounds eerily familiar it should. Of all the qualified professional persons in the Bahamas why is it that the government has selected the one person who is the lawyer of one of the major licencees. It should be noted that a conflict of interest does not only arise upon the performance of an improper act. It exists if there are circumstances present that are reasonably believed to create a risk that decisions might be unduly influenced by personal or secondary interests. A lawyer/client or former/future lawyer client relationship, in my view, would fall into this category. When are we gonna demand that these jokers stop treating our public affairs as if it is their own little petty shop.

On the question of the lawyers conflict - There should also be the appearance of integrity something we are well aware is deficient in The Bahamas - Same people trading information, ideas and opportunities among themselves - It works well when your at the table - the majority of us, unfortunately are on the menu ......

One would think that URCA with "all of the bright minds" employed there would recognize the impact of perception on that organization's image. It's about perception, URCA...don't you get it? P-E-R-C-E-P-T-I-O-N!!!!

I have just re-read the article and I am quite happy that there is no conflict as he will excuse himself from any debate that involves his partnership's lawyers. I believe him after all he is a lawyer! As there are really only two licensees at the moment, I guess he will not be very busy except with BTC who are his clients competition!1 All very cozy

Don't understand why some people allow themselves to jaded by so called men of the cloth. It's a joke to me that when these men, like Long, are accused or found guilty of actions that goes against the teachings of the great book, their "followers" find ways to justify their wrong-doings.

Jury rules accused man is innocent
Seems to be the trend of late with murder trials. The accused always appear to get off due to insufficient evidence, etc. Someone is dropping the ball. The Prosecutor or the police. Whoever it is, the real criminals are getting away with "murder". I pray they find the real killer.

The only thing worse than real criminals getting away with murder is innocent persons getting found guilty of it and sentenced to long jail terms, even life. They wicked may escape justice in this earthly court system but they have a higher court to face..remember that.

Writ alleges failure to repay funds
Well now we all know why he wanted to get Cargill out of NIB so bad and fast. He wants to get his hands deeper in that cookie jar. From Cargill's writ and the other information that is now coming out serious questions must be raised not only about the integrity of the actions of the NIB board and Shane Gibson, but also about the due diligence that the PM did on these persons. I don't know Cargill, but I can say that in my view for the first time that I can remember NIB was being operated as a professional institution under Cargill. Believe in Bahamians- what a joke and we just in the first year.

Christie: 'No' vote will lead to more taxes
Why is our PM so dishonest? It took me almost three years to get my property tax bill. Here's my suggestion Mr. PM. Clean up the taxes we have now, get them paid in time and in full. Then after accomplishing that we can talk about new taxes. But until then we have no idea what revenues add up to and what we need to do to bolster them.
And the webshops claim to make 100 million per year. A Bahamian business license is based on revenues. So why are they not already paying 5 million a year for their business license? Get them up to date and paying properly, get us our money then let's talk about new taxes.

Christie: 'No' vote will lead to more taxes
Mr. PM, if your opinion and belief, as clearly appears to be the case, is that the country will incur irreparable harm from a "No" vote, then as the leader of this country you have an obligation to discontinue the process of this opinion poll and have your government take the requisite Parliamentary action to legalise, regularise and tax the gaming industry or at minimum take a position based on your beliefs. As the PM your duty is to and for the greater good of the country and all of its citizens. These oblique statements about the consequences of a "No vote" that you continue to make are unbecoming of an elected leader.

It would seem like this police officer would need to go back for some basic police training. Standard procedure should call for 2 officers to accompany a known aggressive and violent detainee. Lesson learned....at least we hope.
