Open letter on Little Harbour
By this time, it is no surprise to you that most, if not all of us, have serious concerns about your plans for a marina in Little Harbour. You may recall the Prime Minister’s remark upon your purchase of the Abaco Club at Winding Bay cautioning developers that “such projects cannot work unless they have the buy-in of locals”.
Rihanna and misplaced priorities
Baha Men founder Isaiah Taylor along with Bahamians who have a keen interest in PM Perry Christie’s brainchild Junkanoo Carnival are anxious to know who will be the lead act at the imported foreign cultural event.
Which is it, Mr Mitchell?
In a recent letter to the press, the Nassau Institute put forward observations about the government’s latest immigration policies.
Under surveillance
I live in Andros, Bonefishing capital of the world. I’m wondering what kind of message we are sending to tourists who are paying top dollars at the peak of our tourist season while green helicopters are flying over our resorts and homes day and night?
Problems facing the Bahamas
I have not written a letter to the editor for many years, but I am compelled to write after an experience last week.
No TIN number?
ON January 15, 2015 I visited BAlC to pay the lease on a track of land situated off Cowpen Road.

Why can’t govt stop BTC cuts?
The Bahamian staff at BTC were no doubt labouring under the assumption that the Bahamian government is the majority owner of BTC, by virtue of its ownership of 49 percent shares in addition to the two per cent shares which was transferred in the BTC Foundation in 2014.
Where has our pride gone?
Some people say that pride does not feel any pain. Others say that having too much pride will kill you. Maybe these sayings are true, maybe they are not. But what has happened to the once prideful young Bahamian?
Nothing new under the sun
Seems you have problems with discrimination, (Letters, Faceless, 11/2 15).
Cable prices
Following my viewing on television media a night ago, and listening attentively to the discussion on the impending fee hikes of Cable Bahamas products, and their services to the Bahamian public; I personally say no, to such raises, and, for many reasons:
Immigration
I don’t have much to say today; only that it would be my wish that under the (new) immigration rules being touted in recent times requiring all non-Bahamians to have a passport with a residency stamp within it, that the rules do not dictate that these persons should have this passport on them at all times, especially children.
We are all we have got
In 2014, there were, allegedly, some 112 homicides. The majority of these were perpetuated by relatively younger men on other younger men/women known to them or with whom they would have had a personal altercation or relationship. At the rate we have started off 2015 it is highly likely that the homicide level will exceed that of last year. The carnage, seemingly, goes on unabated.
Fix the traffic lights
Will the bright light who’s responsible for traffic lights fix the timing on the East Bay/Village Road and Shirley St/Village Road lights?
