Poll should be challenged
The poll that the government plans to put to the Bahamian people can be challenged before the courts because what is being put to the people on January 28 is not a referendum at all.
The issue most deserving of referendum
In the midst of all the hysteria surrounding the soon to be held opinion poll for the legalization of the illegal numbers racket, cloaked in the disguise of a referendum, the populace and the clergy in particular have seemingly lost sight of the issue most deserving of and what would constitute a genuine and legal referendum, the upgrading of women’s rights in the Bahamas to the same status of those enjoyed by our men.
Looking to the future
2012 has been a challenging year for tens of thousands of Bahamians.

The referendum on gambling
No one is going to suggest to me to vote for and by my vote support people who for years have broken the laws of The Bahamas. I do care how many hundreds of thousands they gave to political parties and away to this and that.

Road Traffic Department
I am stirred to respond to Alexis Burrows’ letter in today’s Tribune (December 17, 2012) regarding his experiences at Road Traffic and his suggestions for improvements.
Spacious, cleaner, safer Nassau
Is it the politically correct thing to say that the “chickens have come home and will continue to come home to roost” regarding the overcrowding of Nassau?
