Thoughts on law school’s legal lecture
WHAT cadre of legal minds assembled by the Eugene Dupuch’s Law School for its Distinguished Lecture Series yesterday with Justices in Dialogue, and for which it was very timely:
EDITORIAL: The Lucayan Sea would truly recognise Bahamian waters
EVERY once in a while, an idea is proposed that makes so much sense you wonder why no one thought of it before. Naming the waters of The Bahamas the Lucayan Sea is one of those ideas.
Copycat slogan
THE PLP’s 2016 campaign slogan Forward Together Bahamians reminds me of its 2012 Believe in Bahamians slogan. The 2012 campaign propaganda helped to etch in the minds of angry Bahamians that the Free National Movement was, derisively speaking, the Foreign National Movement.
Top Finance official backs lower Business Licenses
The Government’s top financial official yesterday conceded to problems with both Tax Compliance Certificates (TCCs) and Business License fees, agreeing that the latter’s rates “have to be lowered over time”.
The shrinking of US foreign policy
American embassies can represent a lot of things to different people, but they generally become important when someone needs to renew a visa or replace a lost passport. For Americans overseas, there might be an invitation to a Fourth of July party celebrating the US national day.
The tragedy has already unfolded
In real terms, the tragedy of Lighthouse Point has already played out.
EDITORIAL: A curious turn of phrase about the pandemic
IN acknowledging the spike in COVID-19 cases recently, Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis yesterday chose some curious wording.
EDITORIAL: Lockdown is a warning for all of us
IT’S back into lockdown for Cat Island and Andros – and that should be a warning sign for Grand Bahama and New Providence.
‘Culture in police has to change’
A VOICE note purportedly capturing the beating of a man in police custody came as no surprise to Christina Galanos, a lawyer who has for years sounded the alarm about brutality in police custody.
Central Bank 'stretch' on borrower leniency
The Central Bank was yesterday said to have given commercial banks "a stretch" by urging them to be lenient with borrowers who show signs they may be able to resume repayments in 2021.
It’s your time
Four years and a few months ago, the people of this wonderful nation lined up in droves to vote the Christie led PLP out of office due to a myriad of reasons coupled with Christie fatigue and serious allegations of corruption. A large majority stood in long lines in the scorching hot sun just for an opportunity to vote Minnis and the FNM into high office. The rest is now history.
Bahamians in the U.S. anxious about election results
AS our neighbours to the north casted ballots in the US Presidential Election, some Bahamians living in the United States were anxious about the results.
One hundred plan march for '242 business survival'
Permission is being sought for a "business survival march" to draw attention to the plight of entrepreneurs who fear their firms "might not last beyond September" with the present COVID restrictions. Mark A. Turnquest, the small business consultant
Fuel surcharge cannot be allowed to continue as is
I remember in the past, light bills were issued every three months. As time progressed it changed to every month. But what came to mind immediately was that the bills for one month were far more than what it was for three months.
PM is first among equals
“Prime Minister is first among equals!” This is self explanatory, but just for the record, no one in cabinet has more power than anyone in cabinet, not even the Prime Minister.
Small is beautiful but the law is paramount
EVENTS in Catalonia are attracting huge international attention as Spain’s most prosperous region of 7.5 million people could declare unilateral independence within days following its illegal referendum.
Illegal migrants
STRANGER things have happened but yesterday in The House of Assembly a strange thing happened - it came the turn for the member for St Anne’s to speak ..... he prefixed his comment, all of maybe three minutes by saying there will be an announcement concerning Immigration and sat back down giving away for PM Hubert Minnis to make his statement, far from the usual summing up that the closing MP, usually the PM will do then the bombshell.
EDITORIAL: Bolton's spectre an unwelcome surprise
AMERICAN president Donald Trump continues to surprise us. Just not in a good way.
Airline’s ‘mistake’ led to US flights lockout
TOURISM and Aviation Minister Dionisio D’Aguilar said Bahamasair “made a mistake” not acquiring the technology necessary for entry into the United States ahead of a January 1, 2020 deadline.
