Incredible hypocrisy
Permit me the liberty of dispensing a bit of advice to the Leader of the Opposition.
Sense of balance lost over march
OF course the guarantee of free demonstration must always be protected, and sensible permits must be granted.
Property tax arrears
SURELY the first criteria of the Financial Secretary should be collecting the incredibly high arrears of Real Property Tax ... a polite request to settle doesn’t work then revert to a guaranteed approach of publish-shame and collect.
Issues in the news
BEEN listening to one of Doc Minnis secret weapon candidates - boy he still has mother’s milk around his lips. A caller told him that his primary opponent, the current MP, has been giving out roof repair stuff - plywood etc, to all in the constituency but, sir, what have you been doing? The FNM candidates’ reply before the storm we gave out sand-bags... We are preparing a development plan!
Why I will march on Black Friday
I AM marching on Black Friday because of the outrageous situation with Bahamas Power and Light. I am marching because a power company that used to be controlled by Bahamians was put under the control of an American company that promised to do better, but delivered even more unreliable service than before.
Regulating regulator in Freeport

Where are you, Krissy Love?
THE unceremonious exit of popular talk show host Krissy Love has left a void in talk radio. Reality Check, the two hour talk show which covered a wide range of topics was something that I looked forward to listening to several times a week.
A coalition vision?
THE Insight article today is inspiring and quite sad, as it forecasts the probable, and likely, political future of The Bahamas.
Have no fear?
Re: ‘No need to be afraid of crime’.
Govt buying drugs is a step back
I have read a number of articles recently in the newspaper regarding concerns of local pharmaceutical wholesalers that the government (Public Hospital Authority) may be planning to bypass them and go directly to manufacturers to purchase drugs.
Concern at fishing plan
WHEN I wrote my last letter (November 1, 2016), expressing my concern for the increased Chinese influence, I was not aware of the information that has surfaced regarding the proposed 10,000 acres of farm land in North Andros.
PLP whistling past the graveyard
Confirming a lack of understanding of the depths of the economic problems facing the country, Prime Minister Christie announced a “Competitiveness Council” to work out of his office to improve The Bahamas’ declining status in the ease of doing business ranking while saying the country’s slippage in the rankings “doesn’t represent who The Bahamas is”.
