$1bn deal

Concessions to Baha Mar...How on earth can they only be $300m? The project value is $3,250,000. Duty on building materials is =25% + Stamp tax...Some are duty free. Labour probably the majority, Chinese were paid minimum wage - $150 per week.

We are already burning, Bradley

While the PLP is thinking about a change of leadership they might just as well throw their Chairman, Bradley Roberts, in the discard bin along with their Leader, Perry Christie.

Is this the type of visitor we want?

I read on a boating Website (www.thehulltruth.com) that the individuals, who were suspected of poaching by The Bahamas Defence Force in the 38ft Jupiter around Great Isaac Cay are back home. Apparently, there was some misunderstanding regarding their use of scuba tanks while spearfishing.

Sounds of the silly season

It seems the silly-season is very much on us, from what I read and what I listen to on the radio.

Negotiation still the key

The decision of the Delaware District court to reject most of Baha Mar’s Chapter 11 petition does not put to an end the search for an out-of-court negotiated settlement, prior to the deadline of November 4.

PM to blame for crime levels

Hardly a day goes by without our nation being greeted with horrific news of one or more cold blooded murders. Unbelievably, with a little more than three months left in this year, we are already at a record-breaking 107 murders, a number which will undoubtedly have increased by the time this letter is published.

Look again at policing strategies

I have made no secret of my view that the single factor responsible for the dramatic rise in murders in The Bahamas over the last 15 years has been the courts, and the utterly irresponsible actions of Judges who grant bail to people accused of murder on the feeblest of grounds.

Bruised Bahamian sovereignty

That little word “sovereignty” has certainly been used and abused these past few months to prevent what was the most convenient – and financially safe—option to save the Baha Mar resort and give its developer a chance to complete the project and get into business.

The rants of Bradley Roberts

After listening to Bradley Roberts’ rant on television, I’ve come to the woeful conclusion that advanced age has had no affect on his strange logic.

Economics of gymnastics

The Gymnastics event at Atlantis and what is the real revenue income - forget the filling of beds with children?

Bite the Baha Mar bullet

BAHA MAR - Provisional Liquidator appointed with limited authority, simply it seems to ensure that the owners cannot dissipate the assets.

$7m fund

Re:  Urban Renewal spends $7M on home repairs.

Straw Market improvements

I applaud the Straw Market Authority (SMA) and the government for their recent upgrades to the Straw Market for the safety, comfort and health of the occupants and the public.

Farewell to a kindred spirit

On Saturday, I lost a kindred spirit – a sister in every way but biologically.

A matter of self respect?

WITH reference to the Deputy Prime Minister’s admonishment  that the office of Prime Minister should not be disrespected by anyone . . .

Champion tomato paste

ALBURY’S champion tomato paste, which is a Bahamian product faced major issues over the last two months as the product could rarely be found. Imagine my contempt when I found out recently that it was because of a price issue whose resolution was in the hands of another malfunctioning government agency.

FNM mandarins, shut up!

I so wish that the so-called mandarins of the FNM would just stop talking nonsense. Frank Watson started the silliness when the FNM passed up a great opportunity to elect Loretta Butler Turner and get rid of Dr Hubert Minnis who is dragging the party down.

Don’t trivialise the issue of rape

I have been struggling with the weekly column Politicole since it became a part of The Tribune. Given the name of the column, I thought there was a slight chance that readers would get thoughtful, challenging views on the political state of the country. Wrong.

The price of a vote

Re: Urban Renewal spends $7M on home repairs (The Tribune, September 8).

BOB and NIB

‘BOB losses slash NIB income 66%’ (Tribune Business, September 9). It is as if simply publishing this fact, is a sufficient discharge and apology, for what can only be a gross breach of the public trust.

Munroe off without a farewell

Now that former Democratic National Alliance candidate Wayne Munroe has defected to the ruling Progressive Liberal Party without so much as having the deference to inform the DNA hierarchy, it is high time that Branville McCartney and his rabid followers come to grips with the cold, hard facts of reality about politics in The Bahamas.

Like a used car lot

I was beginning to worry that I was the only one noticing how our city and island is becoming more unattractive every day – that is until I read some recent letters and columns in the press. One or two of them made mention of something that is particularly irritating to me and that is the proliferation of advertising signs all over the place.

Baha Mar made me proud

Picture a diver climbing high up the ladder. Hours, years of practice behind them as their moment gets closer. They walk to the edge of the board. This feat has never been seen before. A country holds its breath, hoping for gold. We’ve been given a state of the art springboard; hear it quietly creak under their toes before they bend their knees and lift off, weightless ...

Mitchell hasn’t the temperament to be PM

Foreign Affairs and Immigration Minister Fred Mitchell is routinely mentioned as one of three possible successors of Prime Minister Perry Christie, once the latter finally demits office as PLP leader.
