LETTER: Village Road fiasco
Hard to believe really that discussions on multi-million resorts are seemingly right on the table and at the same time the shocking total mess that is Village Road is given very little air time.
Price Control is government intervention
I see why Government had no alternative to pass legislation to enforce the recent amendments to the Price Control regime - the existing law allows for a required approval if the merchant applies if his first cost has increased – a change cannot be refused, the Minister has to sign approval. We all know prices across the board have increased.
Bahamian sport honours
Lately, there have been numerous conversations in the press and elsewhere with regards to persons being awarded the Hall of Fame designation, and some being additionally included in the Legends Walk. In my opinion, all the inductees are deserving, some more than others. However, I am immensely surprised and somewhat shocked at some obvious omissions, or delays as I am now being advised.
FTX & insider trading
I believe that we first heard that FTX computers had been hacked. Then we heard that the Bahamas Government took custody of some of the FTX Assets and that was refined down to the Securities Commission had put them in Cold Storage for safe keeping.
Sears need not resign
It is interesting to note the baying of opponents of the ruling Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) calling for the resignation of the Hon Minister Alfred M Sears (PLP-Fort Charlotte) as Minister of Works & Public Utilities due to what they call his “admitted misleading of the House of Assembly relative to whether or not he had received an email from the Ministry of Economic Development on the continuation of an oil hedging proposal for Bahamas Power & Light,”
Empty seats at stadiums
Do we fill our stadiums? Have they ever been filled? Are we getting our buck return or is the development-building all politics and makes zero financial sense? You realise with the opening of the Andre Rodgers we now have inventory of $100 million worth of stadia!
Media have an agenda over Sears
It is now patently clear that the main media organisations may have an agenda to force the resignation of the Hon Alfred Sears as they have anointed itself prosecutor, judge and jury in this developing political saga. We have yet to hear and digest all of the facts herein.
A winter we may not forget
THE Farmers Alamac, an American Periodical has been forecasting North America’s weather since 1818. These long-range forecasts have offered farmers, meteorologists and the public a explanation of what will possibly happen with our climate and why. Well, the Alamac’s predictions for the winter of 2022-2023 should elicit our attention and possible response to the highly active weather to come.
Thank you, Mr Duffy
The Bahamas Press Club today is sad to learn of the passing of Mr Eugene Duffy, managing editor of The Tribune.
Eugene Duffy
Thank you for your wonderful tribute to my friend and colleague over very many years, Eugene Duffy. You’ve very much captured the essence of the man.
Getting nowhere fast
I have finally made my way through back issues of the two plus weeks of newspapers that accumulated during my trip to Europe recently.
Issues in the courts
Greetings and thanks very much for the opportunity to write these several points to ponder.
Implications of Warnock’s Georgia win
The much anticipated run-off in the Georgia Senate race has been completed, and the Democratic Party incumbent Raphael Warnock has won, giving his party a 51-vote majority in the Senate.
Remember the Family Islanders
Please don’t forget your Family Islanders, Mr Davis. This is an open letter to Prime Minister “Brave” Davis.
The Cooper egg farm
THE recent Facebook photo showing the price of a dozen of eggs on a Family Island was a sobering reminder of grocery inflation in The Bahamas and the Progressive Liberal Party government’s inability to prevent it.
