Power of the pen
WAS it the power of The Tribune resulting from a letter writer that the new tourist attraction, Bahamas Jet Boat, has been required to discontinue speeding through the Harbour - the approaches to the Narrows, Paradise island and west of Arawak Cay to Delaporte?

Re: Income tax is NOT ruled out.
Avoid conflicts
CLEARLY the new Government of Dr The Hon Hubert Minnis intends to flush out all misbehaviour and where appropriate ensure that all billings/accounts that might be over due are paid in full - kudos.
