Stuck in the system
For the last three days the traffic on East Shirley Street has been gridlocked because of the inefficiency of one government-hired small contractor who has been working on one manhole cover for that entire period. He is obviously being paid by the hour as he is making a five-course meal of a peanut butter sandwich.
Rubis leak review
If Attorney General Allyson Maynard Gibson can’t speak to the progress of the Rubis gasoline leak review, who on earth can?
Discrimination
A successful referendum on equality will be a victory for the Bahamian people – not the ruling party or the opposition.
A QC’s view on question 4
I should be most grateful if you would be so kind as to afford me a little space in your most valuable publication to posit my humble views on some of the issues that are being ventilated in connection with the upcoming referendum, and in particular Bill Number 4 which seems to attract the lion’s share of attention.
Unstoppable
I must say I was initially apprehensive and unsure. It felt like a political meeting because how can you separate Mr Michael Pintard’s message from the message of the FNM.
The real problem at Road Traffic
Our politicians really need to stop treating us like fools. Neko Grant and Glenys Hanna-Martin can point fingers over the missing millions all they want; the public already knows what the real problem is at the Road Traffic Department.
Lanisha Rolle is a liability
I sincerely respect Dr Hubert Minnis’ role as leader of the FNM. Minnis exercised his prerogative as leader of the opposition party by appointing Lanisha Rolle in early 2015 to the Senate in lieu of Heather Hunt, who was rumoured to be a supporter of FNM MP Loretta Butler-Turner.
Marriage for three
Gays should understand that most Bahamians regard marriage as a sacred institution with certain well-defined moral commitments.
Miller hypocrisy
SO Leslie Miller wants to exile transgenders and wants God to end the Earth now, I am sure God spends a lot of his spare time mulling over Mr Miller’s words of wisdom.
Why I will vote yes this time
Let me declare early on that I have a horse in this gender equality race.
A new day awaits after referendum
June 8th, maybe a new day for the following organisations around our Bahamas.
Stuck in the past
Galileo, who lived between 1564-1642, was a scientist/philosopher/astronomer and all round genius.
Morality and democracy - the debate
Thank God that, mercifully, the fiasco and total wastage of public funds on Junkanoo/Carnival has come and gone. The unwashed masses had their block party; plenty of loose behaviour; whining up; sexual gyrations and, I am sure, a degree of unprotected and licentious sexual escapades. The results, across the board, will be manifested within nine months.
Oh yes, the referendum
May I address the potential impact of the amendments when all is done and one presumes the voters approve (not guaranteed).
The use of public funds
I serve as the lead person for the referendum education group Think, Bahamas! It is our view that public funds should not be used to fund referenda campaigns.
