Bahamian Musical Chairs
Dear Editor,
Please allow me a space in your valued chronicle to dually vent and share as the general election looms.

Is Minnis getting under Christie's skin
Dear Editor,
Perry Christie stood on hallowed ground in South Andros and unleashed a poorly timed rant aimed at Hubert Minnis. It backfired big time. Instead of meeting the intent of maligning Dr. Minnis as unfit for the Office of the Prime Minister, it showed that the current occupant lives in La La Land.
