His sad excuse is he was still planning a whole year after the money was made available. I tell you he\u2019s never ready.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ingraham added: \u201cThe same thing could be said for B.J. Nottage. He couldn\u2019t figure out what to spend his money on either so he left more than half of his money unspent. It seems Bain Town and Grants Town don\u2019t need any small capital project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Christie acknowledged in 2010 that he had some difficulty with his constituency allowance.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that after consultation with his constituents he was determining how best to spend the funds.<\/p>\n<p>He said he had plans to expand three parks in the constituency and construct bathrooms at two of the parks.<\/p>\n<p>Calls to Nottage were not answered up to press time last night.<\/p>\n<p>Krystel Rolle<br \/>\nThe Nassau Guardian<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bain and Grants Town MP Dr. Bernard Nottage and Perry Christie both failed to make use of the funds allocated to them for the purpose of improving their constituencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_10223285771444175_51037792744":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[74,134,60],"class_list":["post-20820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-politics","tag-fnm","tag-money","tag-plp"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20820\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bahamasb2b.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
