COLA Threatens
posted (January 26, 2015)
But, the COLA President didn't have that commitment on Saturday when he went off on the government, for, among other things, offshore drilling - although we doubt it would have made a difference.

That's because COLA agitates first and foremost and at its AGM at the Bishop Sylvester Memorial Center on Saturday - he said the future holds confrontation:..

Geovannie Brackett, President - COLA
"And I want to give you a little bit of activism forecast, there will be trouble in the next year, because this government has clearly shown how it wishes to victimize - how it wishes to polarized - how it wishes to take the very little that people have away and this organization, I promise you, will bring change and it will bring it soon and very soon."

And while that was vague, speaking specifically about offshore oil drilling, Brackett said that approving such would cause a chain reaction:..

"The day they think that they will want to push offshore drilling, I can guarantee you, it will be the first explosion in this country literally."

Brackett and his executive were unopposed and elected for another term. And after all the hard talk, the crowd eased off with some conscious lyrics from Positive Vibes.
