EDITOR, The Tribune.

I have already written on the rip-off of consumers on the price of propane not being reduced when the price of oil drops, but I totally forgot the poorest of the poor who still use kerosene that is also made from crude oil that the poor always use as a way of life no matter what state the economy is in and the not so poor who were forced to resort to the use of kerosene because of job loss and many other factors related to the poor economy resulting in power disconnections that forced them to use kerosene in lamps and stoves.

Again I call on the powers that be to resolve this consumer rip-off that has been going on for years because many Bahamians are hurting throughout the Bahamas, but it is really bad in Grand Bahama.
