Christmas bonus
A banker sends to P.O. to collect a FREE monthly educational magazine from STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Planners ) and the messenger is charged and receipted for the following:
Climb down from those high horses
I often joke that I am the smartest individual in the Universe. As time goes on in our wonderful nation, I am beginning to really believe that. Let us examine the proposed debt reduction at Bahamas Power & Light. It is commonly agreed and accepted that Bahamas Power & Light and its corporate predecessor, Bahamas Electricity Corporation (BEC) has been badly run and managed for decades under successive administrations.
A tax system we can't afford
Your Editorial comment of Thursday, the 21st November, was informative in that it laid out the serious fiscal situation facing Bahamian governments as we continue to grapple with increasingly devastating Atlantic hurricanes.
Do something new
I was born in a time when elitist education was the order of the day (1970s). Currently, both globally and locally there is a move to increase access to education. There will definitely be a compromise on quality happening in most western educational institutions.
Food for thought
Roadside vendors do they have Health certificates? An ever increasing group of people just trying to make a dollar, but they are selling food - coconut juice, etc…are they not required to get a Food handlers certificate and display it?
Kindness is a two-way street
“And, Mr Speaker, I just want to give an update…There are many Bahamians who believe that we are collecting billions and billions of dollars.
Taking risks helps progress
According to former US president Franklin D Roosevelt, “The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little”.
Overwhelming hypocrisy
Statistically around 1 1/2% to 2% of the world’s population is homosexual and/or bisexual.
An example of how not to talk to the boss
I wish every school-age child of The Bahamas would get a copy of the November 19 edition of The Tribune in order to read the front page article about the Bahamas Taxi Cab Union (BTCU) and its ongoing disagreement with Transport Minister Renward Wells.
We need some optimism
As I examine the history of the Bahamas I notice a shift from determinate optimism to indeterminate pessimism.
Simple breach of contract
Millions lost in computer fiasco - hasn’t the good Minister an appreciation of simple breach of contract of the provider?
Don't talk about crime – you will never win
If I held either the position of Minister for National Security or Commissioner of Police I would be exceptionally careful when and if I made public comments on crime…you never win.
Cut us some slack, please
The nation is in a treadmill sort of mode, in my view. This statement is not to generate a sense of anxiety but one designed, deliberately, to bring to the forefront those issues of public policy and initiatives which directly impact the quality of life and well being of tens of thousands of ordinary Bahamians, if there are any of them left.
Time to dispense with military side of police
Is it long overdue to change the military posture of the Royal Bahamas Police to a pure appearance of a civil Police Force?
My home is now a liability
Please allow a tax paying Bahamian citizen a space within your news outlet to voice a few concerns. With a heavy and frustrated heart, I write to you with regards to the home I have purchased through the Ministry of Housing within the last housing exercise. This home that I have counted as an asset has over the few short years become a liability.
