Time to up the fines
I had the following observations during my recent holidays in the SE USA.
The cost of VAT to business
As the manager of a VAT compliant, small business in The Bahamas I deal with VAT every day. For reference purposes, my position encompasses hiring, firing, ordering, accounts payable, accounts receivable. I do it all. My job since VAT has tripled in administrative processing – specifically in the accounts department.
Some entertainers are selfish
Some Junkanoo groups and entertainers who are praying for the Junkanoo Carnival to be a flop are nothing less than patriotic.
Freeport Carnival off the chain
I watched the Junkanoo Carnival in Freeport over the weekend and was blown away with the participation, enthusiasm and excitement of the general public.
Junkanoo Carnival is not political
The attempt to make Junkanoo Carnival a political event has caused what is going to be an occasion for people who see the glass as half full to fully apply themselves and see the awesome benefits.
Pride in Bahamians
One time ago we advertised the natural beauty of our country and the friendliness of our people as the national resources of our country.
When the heat is on
Today’s news is so depressing that I thought I would submit this little Heaven-Devil tale to relieve the gloom. Some time ago this tale was making it rounds on Facebook just at a time when I needed something to laugh about.
Carnival is all Bahamian
The time is drawing nigh for much talked about Junkanoo Carnival. Never before have I seen anything being condemned. I have heard and seen supposedly calm persons become almost hysterical about this ever happening.
Surrey horses in Nassau
I was visiting Nassau during April for vacation. It was our first trip to the Bahamas; we were inspired by the beautiful beaches, friendly people, warm climate and great water sports and it looked like Paradise at first glance. We took a trip to downtown Nassau, which included the famous Straw Market and Prince George Wharf, and that is where the trip changed.
The results are finally in
After an exciting weekend, we can finally reveal the results of the recent sporting event.
What world are we in?
UNABLE to sleep last night because of a cold, my mind drifted back 30 years when LOP was suggesting that the Bahamas was moving from being a Third World country to a First World country.
Junkanoo Carnival
Just a little comment on The Bahamas Junkanoo Carnival issue, and event.
Jerome and his motives
So Jerome Fitzgerald voted against the appointment of a House select committee to investigate the Rubis leak in his constituency, along with most of his PLP colleagues who were present.
The continued BEC problems
WITH BEC continuing to be plagued with problems in supplying electricity to New Providence and the fear that Baha Mar coming on stream will increase the problem, many residents are asking why successive governments have not negotiated better terms with investors.
Vote that broke the camel’s back
PROGRESSIVE Liberal Party backbencher Dr Andre Rollins single-handedly out-manoeuvered the opposition on the Rubis matter in one single swoop, by calling for a Select Committee of The Bahamas Parliament to investigate the circumstances surrounding the 2012 underground gasoline leak in Marathon.
