Prosperity

I had a dream the other night about seeing a horse race track and casino in the Bahamas. In my dream, this place was located somewhere in the Eastern District.

Leaders can be worst offenders

With reference to the story “VAT Messenger is a Tax Dodger” which appeared in the Thursday, 20 February 2014 edition of the Nassau Guardian, I found former PLP Senator and Prime Minister Christie appointed VAT Consultant Ishmael Lightbourne’s self-admission of Real Property Tax evasion extraordinary to say the least.

Tobacco plans

IT’S very considerate of the Bahamas Cigarette & Tobacco Co to plan to introduce a tobacco factory for the benefit of the people of Andros.

Pandering to youth in politics

I was quite pleased recently to see an older, experienced politician like George Smith give a much-needed lecture to the inexperienced newcomer Andre Rollins.

Gambling rhetoric

I always find it most amusing when politicians of the same political persuasion criticise their own and then those touched react, especially when the criticism is well-founded.

A very bad deal over BTC

EDITOR, The Tribune.

Prison bus crash

Regardless of who was right or wrong . . .

Are we really facing gambling's dangers?

I write to reflect on times past that now seem to have come upon us again.

Wasted energy on a non-issue

Over the last several days the media (printed) has been inundated with the issue of a discrepancy between the PMH reports of crimes of gun violence and those of the police statistics published by the Royal Bahamas Police Force.

Partnership to tackle trafficking

Irregular migration, including human smuggling and trafficking in persons, is a complex challenge which the United States and The Bahamas continue to address as neighbors and partners.

The question of political succession

In recent times there has been much speculation and unadulterated boorish talk about leadership succession within both the ruling PLP and the debilitated FNM.
