Dear Editor, In light of the recent crash election announced by Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis, there has been an uproar regarding the circumstances in which the announcement has been made. Amidst a number of dire crises, from a healthcare collapse to strikes from a number of agencies, there has been a sudden dissolution of […]

Dear Editor, I don’t really know how our people became so ignorant with arrogance due to COVID-19 and all strains of COVID. How does COVID-19 became a political issue if it’s deemed a “global health crisis”? Have we been so stupid to believe that the vaccine, which everyone longed for, is a tracking device? Do […]

Dear Editor, It is sad, but more importantly untrue, to mislead the public by stating the generalization that the government, or most government agencies, have not had any layoffs or redundancies.

Dear Editor, Whether we are locals, tourists, residents, part-time residents, visitors, vacation home owners, business owners, future visitors, etc, this concerns all of us and I believe everyone’s voice is important because Exuma ultimately belongs to the earth, to all of us and the future generations. Exuma, as it is now, is beloved by so […]

Dear Editor, In his 2020/2021 budget communication, the prime minister outlined in the approved budget section that the current GDP stands at $11.5 billion. According to his numbers, this represents an 11.6 percent decrease from the previous period. On the other hand, data from the Department of Statistics contradicts this initial assessment.
