Misinformation over shelter
Could you please allow me some space in your most read paper.
Marital rape law
Following the recent horrific death of a young woman by her companion there has been much said and promised by members of government, the church and civic groups to rein in domestic violence in our society.
Women safety
I would like to express my feelings about women’s safety. When we turn the pages of a newspaper, we come across many headlines reporting cases of sexual assault, molestation, sexual harassment, rapes, trafficking, ill treatment of women in houses, violence against women in outside areas.
The bridge
The 2021 general elections were pivotal to the recovery of the nation from the ravages of the devastating hurricane Dorian and her brother Andrew coupled with the arrival of the cousin COVID-19. They all came here uninvited and, clearly, we had not prepared rooms for them.
Did Dubai trip show our culture?
Who we sent to the Dubai Trade Fair raises yet again what really is the culture of our country? Culture is US!
Tourism must be win for all
After more than 30 years in the hospitality industry with the last six years as a taxi driver, I am convinced that there must be a change in the building of our tourism model in our country. There needs to be more discussion, not only with developers, but with Bahamian stakeholders in open forums that could result in a Win-Win for all, especially when it comes to large-scale developments.

Bloody murder
It has been exactly one month, but I can no longer stranglehold myself into a position of silence, so I am here to scream, “Bloody Murder”!
Income tax
Permit me to respond to a few questions posed to me by G Minnis (Friday, January 21, 2022), in reference to my recent letter decrying the regressive nature of the Bahamian economy and proposing corporate and personal income taxes to fix it.
Calling on church to speak up

Save what?
Let’s get one thing straight once and for all: Bahamians have substantial savings and investments.
Clint Watson and standards in public office
When he was the host of Beyond the Headlines at Eyewitness News, Clint Watson, now Press Secretary in the Office of the Prime Minister, saw it as his job to hold certain public officials accountable.
No wonder hotels close with these rules
How sad to read in The Tribune that the British Colonial Hotel is closing down. My husband and I spent our honeymoon there in 1982 and have been regular visitors ever since. The location was excellent and all the amenities were of the highest standard. We shall really miss staying there.
Wear a mask, Minister
I implore the Minister of Health and Wellness to fine all persons that can be identified, seen on social media - in newspapers or on News not wearing a mask. Isn’t it $200 per incident?
