The story of the BTC sale
PARLIAMENT has been dissolved, the parliamentary committee established to investigate the sale of BTC (an issue deemed by some to be of national importance) never reported.
Loretta in deep water
LORETTA Butler-Turner steps into very deep water when she compares her political career and that of Hubert Alexander Ingraham.
Stop a repeat of 1987 vote
THERE are reports that voting at the advanced polls at the Kendal G L Isaacs National Gymnasium got off to a rocky start.
Shameful
The disgraceful chaos at the advanced poll on Wednesday and the promotion of 851 policemen and women on the eve of the poll are an assault on our democracy.
Tarahan Mackey is a true gem
THE IAAF/BTC World Relays were watched in person, on TV and online by many people all around the world. Have you ever wondered what it takes for something of this magnitude to actually happen? I will tell you one component that is absolutely necessary and that is hundreds of volunteers.
An ode to Perry Christie
Oh but the bliss D-minus is . . .
Tourism numbers
THE all-important statistic in Tourism is those who visit and stay in an hotel or condo or apartment our total number of what is called ‘stay over’ visitors, these folks have been flat - no increase for the past ten years and certainly since 2012 the last election.

Forget all the rallies - the political signs and face reality as this I believe has already cast who will win Government on May 10th.
Promises, promises...
Promises, you keep making. Promises, you keep breaking.

I was sick to my stomach when I learned that outspoken and extremely controversial attorney and Queen’s Council, Wayne Munroe, had been both chosen and ratified to represent the constituency of Free Town, formerly Montagu, for the Progressive Liberal Party in the upcoming General Election.
FNM and PLP go head-to-head
I, along with other Bahamians, agonise over the fact that neither of the two major parties are completely acceptable. We are not card carrying members of either party and would gladly vote for another party. We would not, however, wish to wake up on the May 11, 2017, to another PLP government.
