Letters to the Editor

What does FNM vote tell us?

If Hubert Ingraham had thrown his hat into the race Hubert Ingraham would have beaten Hubert Minnis by the same number as Minnis beat Butler-Turner. This to me was a victory of the Ingraham faction of the FNM.

Put your name to it

IN THE paper this morning is a letter defending the Government in answer to your Editorial yesterday.

Baha Mar staff dismissals

A few days ago, the massive resort development, Baha Mar, announced that it had laid off 190 workers from its Crystal Palace facility, some having been a part of the “family” for up to 20 years. Word is that a number of workers will shortly be laid off from the Casino element.

Enterprising approach to policing?

If nothing else, Bahamians are a very enterprising people.

The Rt Honourable Prime Minister Perry Gladstone Christie recently made several declarations about his future as leader of the Progressive Liberal Party.

Downtown development

I apologise if the following views are new to anyone, since I have been boring my friends, writing blogs, speaking at public presentations and service clubs about them for more than a decade. Recently, however, I was challenged by a friend that I should share them with the public. The subject is Downtown Development.

Which leader will comply?

Not because Friday we had the FNM choosing their leadership, but it is accepted that the PLP Stalwart Councillors have a controlling vote and on the other side Meritorious Council Members have the same in an alleged democratic process to elect a leader.
