PM working Abaco and Grand Bahama hard
Does the most Honourable Dr Hubert Minnis see in the aftermath of Dorian plus recently announced development projects - Carnival GB…soon to come Our Lucaya…Disney Eleuthera that his favour on the streets could swing his way from being very negative and is now planning for an Election in 2020 before the summer?
It is our money they are wasting
There has been a lot of brouhaha lately about the Bahamas Defence Force’s decision to let its Commodore take his vacation leave rather than allowing him to stay on the job and continue to accumulate extra pay for postponed vacations.
For what it's worth
While the debate on the Evacuation Bill continues in Parliament, some have questioned what could happen if a resident ordered to leave an unsafe area refuses to do so. The consequences of refusing to obey a proper and legal evacuation order was considered by the Privy Council in Commissioner of Police vs. Cavanaugh (Montserrat) 2005 UKPC 28. This was a case in which a person refused to be evacuated and was arrested, charged, and fined in Montserrat in the light of a volcanic eruption.
Cruise industry gives little return
A summer of new foreign direct investment and local investments since July 2017 shows this has been dominated by the cruise industry, a sector which gives very little return as average cruise passenger spend in $70.
Minimum wage is a no-brainer
Speaking as an employer, the minimum wage is a no-brainer. If you get more funds in the pockets of working people it not only enriches their lives, it boost the economy. Working people spend their money with the local economy thus generating revenue for the country/Treasury.
Potter's Cay has much to offer

Is this a Baptist voice speaking?
For years there has been serious issues when the Bahamas Christian Council speaks as does it speak for all denominations or for a select majority group - Baptist?
Proud to have served
Recent arrests of two individuals charged with several murders and attempted murders merits public attention and gratitude.
A question of leadership
Political leadership is vital in any society regardless of the form or type of government.
Show respect to the office
Basic food items and the long list of Price Controlled Food items carry zero Duty.... hope Talk Show Hosts and their side-kicks will stop misleading the public.
News and comment should be separate
The country needs quality and fair newspapers. It needs these guardians to demand answers from power brokers. The Government, the church, companies, or anyone else who holds power, influence and authority should be scrutinized and held to account by a fearless, free and fair press.
Time to find out which protocol takes precedence
Our new National Honours Awards or as they are being awarded The Bahamas Re-Run Awards........ there had to be more persons who had received Queen’s honours receiving the National awards to make it a joke ...... surely if a person has received their CMG-MBE-OBE or knighthood that’s enough awards as they came from the Monarch – Her Majesty the Queen of the Bahamas.
Christmas in October is no way to do business
