High price to pay for all this gambling

Dr Fox, did you really blow tens of thousand of dollars on parties and gifts? It is your money so you may spend it as you wish. You claim, however, to now be a man of the cloth, are you really?

No sign of the US ambassador

You may well ask where is the US Ambassador? He or she certainly is not visible in the Bahamas. Our closest neighbour and "friends" do not have the decency to appoint someone to oversee their affairs and our relationship. In fact we have not had an Ambassador since 2011 according to Wikipedia.

University parking problems

I write this letter because I am very disturbed. I am a mature student at University of The Bahamas (UB).

Time for a stripper tax

An objective examination of the issue of adult entertainment in the Bahamas cannot but lead to one conclusion: it resides within the bailiwick of publicly sanctioned activity that adults should be free to engage in or patronise, if they so desire.

Over confident by half

Is there any process let alone progress on the flipping of Our Lucaya which the government purchased for $65 million?

Time to cancel refinery

Real cost ex-solar panel, commercial installation, to grid of solar electricity – there have been reports that the Saudis have pushed the price to 3-4 cents a KW. Just back from Riyadh and can assure you the Saudis admit they are losing big money at that price.

Thanks to the many who helped rebuild St Mark's

It is with great humility that I embrace Diane Phillip’s heart-warming article The Fall and Rise of St. Mark’s.

Exhausted credit cards

Lunacy we should have avoided

A scant 54 days into his Prime Ministership in 2017, a buoyant Hubert Minnis went to Grenada on what was his foreign policy debut.

Clients can’t be held responsible for their lawyers

THE recent decision by the President of the Court of Appeals to hold clients liable for the conduct of their attorneys in the Supreme Court is troubling and brings the sagacity of that decision into question.

Beware the taxi drivers

Someone has upset the sleeping tiger of the taxi drivers! Hope they know what they are doing? Because we all remember what the infamous general strike started with…a strike of the taxi drivers at the airport.

Hard to stay focused

Yet again the Prime Minister spoke for too long….45 minutes - all studies say no longer than 20 minutes at the most! There was content, some positive but it simply did not hit home, it was lost in so much flowery talking.

We have evolved and adapted to living in the midst of filth

Your editorial today, 30 January 2019, on the topic of run down Nassau and downtown is apropos.

Nassau needs to be the first call

Employment quotas based on gender? Has not the good minister studied the constitution? Article: 26. Starting to wonder if there should not be an understanding - The Constitution Test for Ministers?
