We are already burning, Bradley

While the PLP is thinking about a change of leadership they might just as well throw their Chairman, Bradley Roberts, in the discard bin along with their Leader, Perry Christie.

Is this the type of visitor we want?

I read on a boating Website (www.thehulltruth.com) that the individuals, who were suspected of poaching by The Bahamas Defence Force in the 38ft Jupiter around Great Isaac Cay are back home. Apparently, there was some misunderstanding regarding their use of scuba tanks while spearfishing.

Sounds of the silly season

It seems the silly-season is very much on us, from what I read and what I listen to on the radio.

Negotiation still the key

The decision of the Delaware District court to reject most of Baha Mar’s Chapter 11 petition does not put to an end the search for an out-of-court negotiated settlement, prior to the deadline of November 4.

PM to blame for crime levels

Hardly a day goes by without our nation being greeted with horrific news of one or more cold blooded murders. Unbelievably, with a little more than three months left in this year, we are already at a record-breaking 107 murders, a number which will undoubtedly have increased by the time this letter is published.

Economics of gymnastics

The Gymnastics event at Atlantis and what is the real revenue income - forget the filling of beds with children?

Bite the Baha Mar bullet

BAHA MAR - Provisional Liquidator appointed with limited authority, simply it seems to ensure that the owners cannot dissipate the assets.

$7m fund

Re:  Urban Renewal spends $7M on home repairs.

Straw Market improvements

I applaud the Straw Market Authority (SMA) and the government for their recent upgrades to the Straw Market for the safety, comfort and health of the occupants and the public.

Farewell to a kindred spirit

On Saturday, I lost a kindred spirit – a sister in every way but biologically.

A matter of self respect?

WITH reference to the Deputy Prime Minister’s admonishment  that the office of Prime Minister should not be disrespected by anyone . . .

Champion tomato paste

ALBURY’S champion tomato paste, which is a Bahamian product faced major issues over the last two months as the product could rarely be found. Imagine my contempt when I found out recently that it was because of a price issue whose resolution was in the hands of another malfunctioning government agency.
