PM Thomas meets with regional leaders to discuss hurricane aftermath

By Lincoln Depradine

Castries, St. Lucia, November 9, 2010 – Grenada's Prime Minister, Hon. Tillman Thomas, is heading a three-member delegation that arrived in St. Lucia this morning for a firsthand look at the damages caused by the recent passage of Hurricane Tomas.

The other members of the delegation, which leaves later today for St. Vincent before returning to Grenada, are Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Officer, Senator Arley Gill, and Chief Technical Officer in the Minister of Works, Cecil Harris.

The first stop of Hon. Thomas was at the official residence of St. Lucian Prime Minister, Stephenson King.

Mr. Prime Minister do you have your Bingo Card for later?

This evening as much as one tenth of our population will more than likely make their way down to our National Stadium to part take in our newest national sporting event it is called BINGO. This event will see less than 20 people out of 6000 to 10,000 people actually win anything; BUT somehow our Prime Minister sees this as much more important to our nation than a full Casino project which indeed would not only employ thousands directly and indirectly, but indeed if we were just to go on the numbers would allow a much higher winning percentage to our people.

Personally I think Grenada’s newest sport “BINGO” is indeed well organised by our newest “SPORTS MANAGER”. In no way is my post meant to be crictical of his efforts and indeed I am happy that at least Grenadians are still able to go out to such activities even though the share numbers shows the actual state of DESPERATION that exists, as indeed I am convinced that within a very short time on our present track, this SPORT all will no longer be possible. But in the meantime, can anyone who has a direct link to our Prime Minister please tell me what on earth is the difference in his mind between LOTTO, BINGOS in our National Stadium and legalised Casinos?

The time has come for Grenadians to stop being quiet and start voicing their concerns for surely Grenada cannot survive another 2 years of this miserable road we

Spokesman call on opposition to stick to facts

St. George's, November 4, 2010 (GIS) – Government spokesman, Richard Simon, says the Parliamentary Opposition should just stick to the facts and stop trying to bamboozle Grenadians.

Mr. Simon made the comment Thursday in response to a release from the NNP in which Opposition Leader, Dr. Keith Mitchell, said that government members and others should apologize to former Energy Minister Gregory Bowen over the lawsuit that was filed against him by American businessman, Jack Grynsberg.

The Bowen-Grynsberg case was settled in a U.S. court in what the NNP claims was a victory for the former Energy Minister, suggesting that Mr.
