No Office of the Spouse
OFFICE of Spouses for politicians? No, no, no... they are unelected and if this was implemented the sole reason would be to add state funding to the political office through the back door.
When in Rome . . .
INVESTORS spend/invest billions and create restaurants which are all of an international theme - does this make any sense?
Carnival and political duplicity
RECENTLY, Minister of Youth, Sports, and Culture Michael Pintard confirmed that the FNM government will continue the PLP government’s ill-conceived carnival, but with a few changes. While I’m truly disappointed by the announcement, I’m honestly not surprised. My lack of surprise is based on the fact that I have long come to realise that many Bahamian politicians take positions on issues while in opposition that are based on convenience, not conscience. Their true position is revealed when they hold the reins of power, as is now being seen with Minister Pintard and the FNM government’s new-found position on carnival.

PRIME Minister Dr Hubert Minnis is not a talker. Many of the problems he has gotten into in the past seven months as Prime Minister are because he is not gifted in that way.
No rent for post boxes
POST Boxes at General Post Office, East Hill Street - I totally agree with your letter writer - how can the Ministry - The People’s Government have the face to charge renters for Post Boxes when they have been unable to provide mail delivery for over two years?
Popeye Bowl funds
POPEYE Bowl - Can the Ministry of Youth give one reason why the Government should be wasting the sponsorship of this event?

Bad news for BISX shareholders
Yesterday did not bring good news to the long-suffering shareholders of BISX-listed Bahamas Property Fund (BPF). Set up over 15 years ago to imitate American REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) by acquiring commercial properties and pooling them to create equity shares that would trade as liquid securities, it was a good idea but proved tough to execute in our limited property market.
