Focus on fixing potholes
I would be grateful if I might pass a little suggestion on to Minister Sweeting to say that although $98,000,000.00 is an impressive amount of money, we don’t need to repave all of the roads in New Providence, but we do need to repair the 98,000,000 pot holes that are in those roads.

What really needs to be done on roads
EVIDENTLY, the present Davis-led administration is moving full speed ahead with turning Gladstone Road into a dual carriageway, a project initially proposed by the former Minnis-led administration.

Is our law enforcement impotent?

Our passive response is concerning
The Bahamian business community now appears alarmingly complacent in the face of escalating government overreach. It’s as though we’ve surrendered our spirit of defiance, meekly swallowing whatever directives and mandates are imposed upon us by policymakers.
