A warning over VAT
The following letter, written by businessman Godfrey Thomas to Prime Minister Perry Christie on February 21, is published below at the urging of several Bahamian businessmen who think that it should be shared with Tribune readers.
Absolutely unacceptable
Please allow us the space in your newspaper to respond to the remarks made by MP for Tall Pines Leslie Miller last week Thursday in the House of Assembly and the events that followed.
Shameful behaviour
Dear Mr Miller, You should be utterly ashamed of yourself and hang your head in total disgrace.
Miller showed no respect for women
Leslie Miller has crossed the line of parliamentary decency and should be made to step down.
Miller and BEC future
I refer to the various proposals offered for the privatisation of BEC and the conundrum that is Leslie Miller.
Miller was insensitive
We have now seen the House of Assembly sink to an all-time low.
Absolutely unacceptable
EDITOR, The Tribune.
Hearing the hoofbeats of history
Most leaders never leave office unless there are mandated term limits; an act of God or due to debilitating illness.
Honour for airman fitting
EDITOR, The Tribune.
Honouring the pioneers of avaiation
Thank you for your Editorial (Tribune, Feb 25, 2014) about Bahamian-born Dr Albert E “Bert” Forsyth, who made aviation history, at 5:54pm on November 9, 1934, when he landed his Lambert Monocoupe, single-engine landplane, on a road in Westward Villas. Bert’s co-pilot was a very accomplished American, named Charles Alfred “Chief” Anderson, who is recognised as “The Father of Black Aviation”.
Morality, theft and taxation
EDITOR, The Tribune.
Ethics in service
The firestorm over the revelations of Mr Ishmael Lightbourne not paying his property taxes has caused a number of MP’s to confess that they might be, or might have been in a similar position.
We gat bad ways and we bad pay
The Bahamas government has never defaulted on any of its financial obligations to local or international agencies and institutions. Not to the Inter American Development Bank, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations or CARICOM.
Property tax evaders
The love of money is the root of all evil, and causes many to complain against paying taxes and the taxing authority.
Gibson defends the indefensible
