We March on the wrong track
IN order to express their displeasure at the persistent problems caused by the fire at the dump, the WeMarch group is planning another protest march in April 2017.
Methane and the dump
WHY does the dump burn? Is it old cars or just rubbish going up in smoke?
A letter to Minister Gray on fishing licences
A letter to Minister of Agriculture,and Marine Resources, V Alfred Gray: I am writing to give you my view on the recently enacted fisheries resource regulation, Jurisdiction and Conservation (Flats Fishing) Regulations, 2017.
Banks in the Bahamas
I am moved to write following a recent article whereby the Royal Bank of Canada announced that it was closing branches in Treasure Cay, Harbour Island, Spanish Wells and Bimini. Apart from the pain of adding Bahamians to the list of the unemployed what was the motivation for such an announcement?
Grand Bahamians are fed up with Michelle Reckley and her PLP antics
FEW people outside of Grand Bahama would recognise the name Michelle Reckley. But on the island of Grand Bahama, everybody knows her. Reckley was on ZNS at a PLP event held at a mega church based on Grand Bahama on March 17 imploring Bahamians to give her party another opportunity to govern. She is the Iron Lady of the PLP who calls the shots on that northern island. She seems to wield the same kind of authority as Grand Bahama Minister Dr Michael Darville.
New Lexus for the PM?
Any emperor worth his salt is worthy of a new chariot every now and then.
Making our lives harder
Simon Rodehn’s letter today, 17 March “Waste of time for businesses”, struck a chord with me with respect to doing business under a “trade name”, as my aunt Anne Johnstone had, only last night, recounted her Twilight Zone experience, with our own Government agency BEC, seemingly doing business as BPL.
Directed by God to choose McCartney
One of the classic children’s songs of all times is “Only a boy named David”.
Waste of time for businesses
Please permit me space in your paper to express that I am angry as SIN and frustrated beyond pale. I spent all kinds of time money and effort to collect VAT and pay it, and prove that I have paid all my obligations to real Property, National Insurance and my Business license for all previous years just to get my current business license. I have a trade name that my Business license is issued to.
A vote in a strange year
2016 a strange year for democracy. We saw the rise of populism/quasi-fascism.
Landfill dump
Listening to the Prime Minister on his government plans to address the issues at the dump, it becomes obvious that the government is about to make the same mistake it has made in the past.
Table scraps for foreigners
FOR a week, this journal has been reporting that foreigners who worked at Baha Mar are enraged at getting offered maybe two to four cents on the dollar - or worse, getting no answers whatever to the claims they duly filed months ago - while Bahamians have been made whole.
Just do your job
SINCE the work on Baha Mar has begun and 600 persons have been hired so far; is it safe to say that the sale of Baha Mar has been completed?
New port a blow to Grand Bahama
NEW Carnival Cruise Port Grand Bahama - location is rather obvious east of the boundary of the Port on land owned by GBPA about 200 acres.
Minnis against Bahamians
In a calculated effort to destroy the reputation of the Bahamian people, Hubert Alexander Minnis will sell a hotel that he does not own. The last time I checked, and I stand to be corrected, Baha Mar is privately owned.
