Who are these gaming licence applicants?
I found it incredibly significant that the Prime Minister went to a Family Island constituency to announce that he will nominate for leader of the PLP, a contingent issue.
Under the kleptocrats
When the social history of The Bahamas is written in the future, if the author is sincere it should read as follows;
View of a Bahamian abroad
It is a weekday and I am in the Orlando International Airport waiting for Bahamasair flight 238 to taxi into place for a short trip home.

The crime problem
Some two decades ago, during a meeting with a government minister, the Minister made the following comment with reference to the Ministry of Finance: “This is the government, my friend. This is the government.”
What now after Rubis fuel spill?
What is happening with the medical tests and followup support for residents of Marathon who were possibly affected by toxic chemicals as a result of the fuel spill from the Rubis station on Robinson Road?
$1bn deal
Concessions to Baha Mar...How on earth can they only be $300m? The project value is $3,250,000. Duty on building materials is =25% + Stamp tax...Some are duty free. Labour probably the majority, Chinese were paid minimum wage - $150 per week.
