    our political system needs some changes| the people needs to vote for a Premier and such Persons have to be Financially Stable and Educated

    Remove the At Large System; just wasting Tax money| we had no issues with the District Political System back then| Just Create a District using the Outer Islands

    And will the budget presented then be more credible and or realistic? Will there be clarity as to the $100 mill just borrowed will be paid for ($750k/month?) and as to how the monies will be apportioned? Any plans for a proper audit?
