Roberts and Mitchell's criticism of Dr Sands

I would greatly appreciate a small space in your publication to share some thoughts.

Baha Mar revisited

LIKE many Bahamians, I have watched the Baha Mar saga unfold. Having almost applied to work there, I now count myself fortunate for never having linked my future with that resort. Since its inception,

Lottery will make for a worse Bahamas

I commend Minister Dionisio D’Aguilar for having the courage to speak the truth about what the numbers house operators are and what they are doing to our nation’s economy and citizens who gamble. Minister D’Aguilar called them a cartel and said they are “sucking money out of the economy in enormous quantities and thereby affecting the financial well-being of many, many of the citizens.” Minister D’Aguilar said what I and many others have said time and time again in opposition to legalising numbers gambling by the former PLP government. Again, I commend him for his courage.

Dr Sands, the country needs you

The back and forth between Minister of Health, Dr. Duane Sands and PLP Chairman Mr.Bradley Roberts has exposed one glaring fact. It shows that Dr. Sands did not follow his many friends advice to not put the country at risk and remain in a profession that is more important to people than him being a member of parliament.

Govt flights, Imra cost and PLP leadership

FRIDAY, October 5th, News item....PM + Ministers fly to Grand Bahama - did they goon Bahamasair? No if you viewed the interview with Minister Dr Duane Sands - they went private. Wonder whose plane again and why not Bahamasair?

With friends like McAlpine . . .

In any freshman class of new parliamentarians there is sure to be a few who thought they were cabinet timber who had to go sulking to the back bench, taking a deferment on their dreams.

Glenys Hanna-Martin is the status quo

As the race for leader of the PLP heats up it is comical that Glenys Hanna-Martin would claim that she is uprooting the status quo.

Government overlooking core problem

IT is interesting that in its efforts to create the appearance of an illegal immigrant crackdown, the government conveniently overlooks the core problem.

What must be done after IMF report

Without reading the entire IMF (International Monetary Fund) report, it is enough to understand what they are advising from the précis report in the media.

Sea salt production in the Bahamas

ONE must comment on the content or lack of content on our Talk Shows - some really should not be aired and others simply need a radical improvement and a commitment to stop broadcasting inaccurate concepts and proposals.

Stopping crime is not just up to the government

BAHAMIANS complain that the government needs to fix the crime problem. I have a suggestion for our people: spend more time raising your children properly.

Davis’ comments at prayer breakfast

Re:Davis vows: I’ll cut off heads to save party.

Let's be both sensible and sensitive

Stranger things have happened, but yesterday in the House of Assembly a strange thing happened - it came the turn for the member for St Anne’s to speak ..... he prefixed his comment, all of maybe three-minutes by saying there will be an announcement concerning Immigration and sat back down giving way for PM Hubert Minnis to make his statement, far from the usual summing up that the closing MP, usually the PM will do then the bombshell.

BAHAMIANS born to illegal Haitian migrants

I AM somewhat dismayed to have read and heard statements attributed to assorted cabinet ministers and a few from religious and civil societies lambasting Bahamians who dared to question the appropriateness of the response and offer of entry into The Bahamas by ‘some’ Dominican students who would have been adversely impacted by a series of recent hurricanes.
