If you owe, then pay up
It is disturbing that seemingly there was a very relaxed policy in the Minnis Administration concerning the basic collection of taxes. The mention by PM Davis that there is a single person a developer who owes $1.4m sends cold shivers down my back... friends can be friends but bills — tax liabilities have to be paid or Government will have to be forced to raise taxes. Hope the tax collection reinforcement group will sweep and act... zero discounts Minister... you owe, you pay others have.
Pintard for FNM leader a no-brainer
THE September 16 general election was the most ho-hum since the formation of the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) in 1953. The low voter turnout attest to this fact.

Should we take a so-called apology from a politician seriously when his actions have put us all in financial jeopardy and even our country?
Bad move
The proposal to decrease Vat but add it to bread basket items, and everything else, is wrong. I saw a new government minister on the news saying, that it is an insult to poor people to assume that they only buy bread basket items, but that is what the majority of poor people can afford to buy. Many people are paid 200 or 300 dollars per week. Some people only make 150 per week and they have to pay bills and buy groceries with that.

Kerzner’s praise for Farrington
Two minutes ago I stumbled on my copy of the attached letter, apparently written to Barry Farrington by Butch Kerzner. I find it to be a profound and well deserved compliment to Barry. You may publish it if you wish.

Bush medicine and COVID
A lot of people here are dying unnecessarily, mainly, of course, due to the madness of vaccine hesitancy, however, other people with COVID are dying because of the use of “bush medicine”.
The elderly, widows and orphans
Thank you for allowing me the space to recognise the proprietors and caregivers at homes for the elderly and orphans throughout the country.
The Minnis interregnum
FORMER Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis’ press release announcing his decision not to run for the leadership of the Free National Movement (FNM) at its upcoming November 27 National Convention wasn’t a coincidence to many observers.
