DNA: FNM budget for the rich, not the small man
The 2017/2018 budget favors the rich and does very little for the small man, charged Democratic National Alliance (DNA) Deputy Leader Chris Mortimer yesterday.
"In their latest campaign promise bait and switch, the Free National Movement (FNM) has moved away from reducing duties on breadbasket items, and instead decided to reduce duties on 'much needed' goods and foods like salmon, cakes, x-ray ma...

Marred legacy
Finally.
Perry Gladstone Christie is off the political scene.
We can now look to the future.

public life.

Bahamian Musical Chairs
Dear Editor,
Please allow me a space in your valued chronicle to dually vent and share as the general election looms.
Arguably, the most momentous governance in recent Bahamian history was that of the then Free National Movement "Government in the Sunshine" administration in 1992. It was then that a young zealous Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham took the reins of a scarred international headliner, m...

'An we is woman too'
It is quite apparent in taking a stroll around the 8th National Exhibition (NE8) that there are a number of works by women, for a start, but also that many of these works by women deal with just that, with womanhood. These works are explicitly centered on the feminist canon of tackling the issue of women's rights, or more subtly trying to turn our eyes to other aspects of femininity. Take, for exa...
