Money, money, money
As a former Love Beach owner, I read with much sadness the articles about the wanted Passion Point development.
Downtown revitalisation being unfair?
Where is the fairness? Please permit me to offer a few comments relative to remarks reportedly made by Mr Michael Maura at the recent Bahamas Business Outlook regarding the state of waterfront properties to the east of East Street north connecting Bay and the expectation that the movement of shipping operations away from Bay Street along with the attendant tax breaks and concessions, would encourage the owners of these properties to undertake improvements.
Modernisation of healthcare needed
Please allow me space in your daily to express a concern. It is said that the Health of a Nation is the Wealth of the Nation. If this is to be taken literally, then we are not amongst the wealthy.
Alternatives are needed to reach source of crime
It has become very clear that we are losing the war against crime despite the idea that things are under control; and what is nerve wracking is that the year has just begun. The crime rate is climbing, and we are crossing into dangerous waters.
BTC mishaps?
I think that BTC has completely lost the plot now.
Mitchell’s comments ‘unacceptable’
I am persuaded that the Hon Minister Frederick Audley Mitchell (PLP-Fox Hill) is one of the best National Chairman which that party has ever had, with the stark exceptions of the late Andrew ‘Dud’ Maynard and the irreplaceable Hon. Bradley Roberts. They were political giants and living legends in their hey day. Brother Mitchell has some big shoes to attempt to fill.
Age is but a number
Attorney Jeanne Thompson answered Minister Mitchell very well. Ms Thompson you may have to give knitting lesson though!

Pandemic effects on the region
The consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the conflict in Ukraine, climate change, and the general economic slowdown have brought the fight against food insecurity to the forefront of global public debate. Latin America and the Caribbean is not on the sidelines of this situation.
Independence ...from what?
I must once again give a salute to the amazing Lady Pam Burnside. She states the truth that this country will never move forward until the majority of the people are elevated to receive the goodness and richness of our land. Majority is ruled, rather than given the power to rule. It is blatantly evident that the oligarchy and the rich still wield the heavy hand in this land.
Montagu billboards
While continuing to beat a horse after it has succumbed is a waste of time I know. But it is said that a dripping tap, left long enough, can drill a hole through a concrete block.
Will Fred take his own advice?
Is it too much to Hope that the Hon Fred Jetson Mitchell will take his own advice, and, as a mature person in public life fly off into the sunset and leave the governance of the nation to a younger generation?
Price fixing after the pandemic
The softwood industry is continuing to cut back production, while the prices of those products it produces domestically continue to rise to levels not seen in many years.
Lobster hunting
We heard probably now nearly a year ago that the popular US fast food restaurant chain had been granted a franchise for The Bahamas and a group was going to cloud fund the project. If I recall some $1.8m plus was announced had been placed.
