Unappreciated sponsor
Having just read in today’s Tribune’s sports section the joint announcement of the Eleventh Annual Summer Sailing Camp by the Ministry of Education, Sports & Culture, Ministry of Agriculture & Marine Resources and the Bahamas Sailing Association, I should like to congratulate them and all of those sponsors mentioned for their continued support of this worthy programme.
Property tax assessments
On a certain morning talk show a Mr Forbes from property valuations confirmed that today, ongoing, Ministry of Finance is re-evaluating all properties that fall under Real Property Tax.
Grant gives backing to Butler-Turner and Sands
CENTRAL Grand Bahama MP Neko Grant yesterday said it is no secret that he “absolutely” supports Long Island MP Loretta Butler-Turner and Senator Dr Duane Sands as the two move to challenge FNM Leader Dr Hubert Minnis and Deputy Leader Peter Turnquest at the party’s convention next month.
Don't kill the messenger
In 1903 Pierre Dupuch’s grandfather, Leon Dupuch, decided to risk his treasure, his reputation and the ire of the British colonial masters and set up a newspaper that has now published continuously for the past 113 years.
Just go!
On June 23, 2016, the British public voted in a referendum to leave the European Union. The objective was either to leave the EU or to remain. Brexit, namely the term used for Britain to exit the EU was voted in favour of roughly 51 per cent to exit and 49 per cent to remain. The people of Britain voted against remaining in the EU against the wishes of most of the members of parliament and the Prime Minister, Mr David Cameron.
Neko Grant's Minnis vendetta
Neko Grant is one of the more fortunate MPs, due to him being in a very safe FNM constituency in Freeport. The Central Grand Bahama constituency is home to many highly accomplished Bahamian families who would not sell their votes for a mess of porridge like many lower income individuals from the ghetto areas of New Providence. Grant is one of the six renegade FNM MPs trying to destroy the leadership of Dr Hubert Minnis.
Fear of crime is up in the nation
Dr Bernard Nottage, the Minister of National Security, in his contribution to the budget debate stated that crime is down 29 per cent. He said that the government’s crime initiatives are working and that we should see a further reduction in overall crime during the second half of this year.
Crime down?
THE progress in official statistics is most encouraging.
Collective action on crime
I pen this letter with mixed emotions today, hovering somewhere between immense relief and immense sadness.
Minnis and Christie must go
Opposition leaders are obviously unaware of the pressure now on Jeremy Corbin to likewise fall on his sword with the Shadow Cabinet resigning or being fired due to Corbin’s (Minnis) lacklustre performance in the Referendum Campaign. Sound familiar?
A snub or an oversight for MP?
Watching the ZNS 6.30pm, newscast this evening, June 14, 2016, I was baffled to see the disrespect and disdain given to the duly elected MP for the said area, on the opening of Stat Oil’s New Administration Building.
Where is the victory?
I was disappointed – but not surprised – to hear a pastor identify the “elitist nature” of the Yes Campaign as one of the reasons for the failed referendum on gender equality.
Statistics not all in the battle with crime
I wish to commend Dr Nottage and the police in their fight against crime.
Roc Wit Doc
I was appalled that Dr Minnis would use up the precious little time allotted for his contribution to the budget debate to advance his campaign.
Runnin’ scared from the ‘gay agenda’
THE Christian Fundamentalists and Evangelicals must be running scared if they have to use the Preamble to the Constitution of The Bahamas to support their bible basis for marriage.
