Claims of cutting electric cost

LISTENING to parliamentary Channel proceedings of today…MP for Cat Island it continues to amaze me that he still contends that the PLP Government reduced the cost of electricity by 40%!

Bad advice for Sarkis on Baha Mar

I have no idea who are the lawyers for Sarkis Izmirlian but whoever they are it is clear, in my view, that they are giving him potentially bogus legal advice as it relates to the possible claw back of Baha Mar.

Time to cut our losses

POPEYE’S Ball, Nassau…Does it make money?

Christie: Hold him to account

THE FNM government met a $400m deficit in place, despite former PLP Cabinet Minister Michael Halkitis’ rave review of the economy under his stewardship at the PLP convention earlier in the year.

Life in the system?

It would appear that someone has flogged some life into the dying postal service.

Postal service failures

Please forgive my persistence in bringing to the attention of the public (in the hope that some positive result might occur) the complete and utter inefficiency of our postal service.

Diligence on Lucaya sale?

PURCHASER FOR OUR LUCAYA Thanks for publishing the letter from a W. Thompson.

Threatening PM should be a felony

ACCORDING to Wikipedia, threatening the president of the United States is a Class E Felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871.

To those who cannot see

I WAS interested to read the letter from JB, June 23rd, on the matter of the party faithful. There are basically two forms of government, Conservative, and the many titles of the others under one umbrella, Liberal, Socialist, Democratic, Labour etc.

Political Deceit and Plunder

AS a lifelong supporter of the now defunct and badly demoralised Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) I profusely apologise to the good people of our wonderful nation for being a co-conspirator with that party and its then leadership cadre in selling a patently bogus agenda back in 2012. The PLP as I used to know it is no more and started to vanish in the last year of The Gold Rush Administration. The startling revelations made by the Hon Doctor Hubert A Minnis (FNM-Killarney), our Prime Minister, during his budget contribution, brought down the scales from my eyes. I was once politically blind......now I am able to see clearly, again.

PLP support

EVEN though the election is over and the FNM are still trying to get settled into power, I continue to be amazed at the number of people who supported the PLP in the last election.

Decay in infrastructure affects Baha Mar and all our islands

My ongoing experiences with inadequate drinking water here on Eleuthera dovetails with new criticisms about the air conditioning at Baha Mar, and the potential effects of smoke from the nearby smouldering New Providence landfill on tourists.

Help the animals

IT is with great concern and frustration that I write this letter. I am an individual who believes in helping humans and animals. Today, however, I am focusing on the plight of stray animals on this island. I do what I can to assist dogs I come across daily. I give them food and water and if I notice an infection I purchase antibiotics to eradicate the minor problem. I see some dogs very seldom and there are others I feed daily.

Who authorised the payments?

Since May 10th, 2017, and especially after the Budget Speech, we have constantly listened to a litany of how there were some questionable and extraordinary spending, at almost all the Ministries. However, one thing that has not been said is - who authorised the payments?
