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.

Failures of the government

OH that Junkanoo Carnival .... This time political motivation expected two-three days prior to when we go to vote.

Too many foreigners

I AM not xenophobic. I understand that countries need foreign labour to help get some jobs done.

Praise for the FNM leader

I WANT to publicly congratulate Dr Hubert Minnis for having the testicular fortitude to do what must be done to bring back the good name of this country.

Cut up Christie’s credit card

Perry Christie and his flyboy Foreign Minister Fred Mitchell continue to be tone-deaf to the cries of middle and working class Bahamians who are struggling to pay the mortgage, send their kids to school, keep the lights on and put food on the table.

The coronation of Wayne Munroe, QC

THE Progressive Liberal Party has now selected Barrister Wayne Munroe, QC, as our standard bearer in the newly renamed and revamped constituency of Free Town.

Improve decision making

THE Bahamas continues to be a third world country in spite of the many blessings God has bestowed on it. In part, it is because far too many Bahamians have caused these blessings to be squandered by failing to bring their intellect into the decision making process.

Why copy rather than take the lead?

WHAT is all this emphasis and psyche on copying Singapore?
