Miller was insensitive

We have now seen the House of Assembly sink to an all-time low.

Absolutely unacceptable

EDITOR, The Tribune.

Hearing the hoofbeats of history

Most leaders never leave office unless there are mandated term limits; an act of God or due to debilitating illness.

Honour for airman fitting

EDITOR, The Tribune.

Honouring the pioneers of avaiation

Thank you for your Editorial (Tribune, Feb 25, 2014) about Bahamian-born Dr Albert E “Bert” Forsyth, who made aviation history, at 5:54pm on November 9, 1934, when he landed his Lambert Monocoupe, single-engine landplane, on a road in Westward Villas. Bert’s co-pilot was a very accomplished American, named Charles Alfred “Chief” Anderson, who is recognised as “The Father of Black Aviation”.

Morality, theft and taxation

EDITOR, The Tribune.

Ethics in service

The firestorm over the revelations of Mr Ishmael Lightbourne not paying his property taxes has caused a number of MP’s to confess that they might be, or might have been in a similar position.

We gat bad ways and we bad pay

The Bahamas government has never defaulted on any of its financial obligations to local or international agencies and institutions. Not to the Inter American Development Bank, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the United Nations or CARICOM.

Property tax evaders

The love of money is the root of all evil, and causes many to complain against paying taxes and the taxing authority.

Gibson defends the indefensible

EDITOR, The Tribune.

Rise and fall of Pleasant Bridgewater

Pleasant Bridgewater had a promising career in politics and in law. In 1997 the late Sir Lynden Pindling, then leader of the Opposition Progressive Liberal Party (PLP), decided to run the East Grand Bahama native in High Rock.

Tax debt is no shock

In response to Labour Minister Shane Gibson’s ranting and threats to expose those former and current Opposition Members who are tax delinquent.

Fair chance for artists

EDITOR, The Tribune.

The emperor's new stem cells

IN the old fairy tale, the vain emperor displayed invisible “new clothes”. However, in this modern fairy tale, the emperor parades his new stem cells.

Jobs promise still unfulfilled

DPM Phil Davis seems to be suffering from memory-loss-clearly on the campaign trail he said within 12-months of the election the PLP will create 10,000 new jobs.

VAT a payment for our past

Thank you, didn’t write about VAT before, because I couldn’t figure it out. Had to go back to the beginning to tell how we got where we are.

The Guardian's strange headline

First, I was worried when I saw that there was a turnover in the running of The Nassau Guardian. I was proud of the former Managing Editor who seemed to understand the awesome responsibility that goes with editing a national newspaper.

VAT too much of a gamble

Thank you very much for allowing me space in your most valuable paper and on the subject of implementing of VAT in 2014.

As efficient as Road Traffic?

If anyone tells you that the administration of VAT will NOT be efficient, just go down to Road Traffic to get your car inspected and licensed.

Prosperity

I had a dream the other night about seeing a horse race track and casino in the Bahamas. In my dream, this place was located somewhere in the Eastern District.

Leaders can be worst offenders

With reference to the story “VAT Messenger is a Tax Dodger” which appeared in the Thursday, 20 February 2014 edition of the Nassau Guardian, I found former PLP Senator and Prime Minister Christie appointed VAT Consultant Ishmael Lightbourne’s self-admission of Real Property Tax evasion extraordinary to say the least.

Tobacco plans

IT’S very considerate of the Bahamas Cigarette & Tobacco Co to plan to introduce a tobacco factory for the benefit of the people of Andros.

Pandering to youth in politics

I was quite pleased recently to see an older, experienced politician like George Smith give a much-needed lecture to the inexperienced newcomer Andre Rollins.

Gambling rhetoric

I always find it most amusing when politicians of the same political persuasion criticise their own and then those touched react, especially when the criticism is well-founded.

A very bad deal over BTC

EDITOR, The Tribune.
