Interesting! I get the feeling to want to take away the billboards. But, not to be rude two letters on billboards? I wish the biggest issue in this country was billboards. We need to focus our energy on the bigger ticket items first. We have SpaceX debris all over the Bahamas. We have a run away freight train government expenditure. Waste, fraud, mismanagement, standard political corruption, etc which goes unaddressed. I'll take the billboard problem over the total disaster that we deal with daily. Maybe we can put our failings on a billboard so that we as a country can drive pass them and be reminded constantly what needs to be fixed.

This is the argument the govt uses for not implementing basic transparency laws. Thier claim "we have bigger problems"

So i ask, are solving these issues mutually exclusive? Each person should be able to raise what issues are dear to them. Some persons cause are health issues, some are passionate about crime, others energy, others education, others freedom of press, others traffic, some. beautificatiom, some.road paving, some labour relations, others banking or tech, some noise, others waste etc

Some of these matters are more pressing than others.

However if a person feels strongly about this, let them voice it. You voice what you feel strongly about via a letter and I'll be with you and id encourage others do the same.

We have dozens of depts and ministries who should be able to deal with these issues. The second we stay silent we have lost.

Point taken. On the letters to the editor, do you realize that the Tribune receives letters on a bunch of topics but only selects a couple here and there to publish? There are major topics covered they they didn't publish. I know people who have sent in stuff and so have I. So, it's interesting that they covered two letters on billboards. It goes to a wider issue I have with the local media, they seem to be totally detached from an understanding of what journalism should be. They're publishing articles covering a wide range of topics daily and they don't challenge the politicians, business leaders on different issues. It seems more like dictation than journalism. I have the sense on the letters, they choose those that are not going to stir the pot, so to speak. We lack a true check and balance from the media and the voices that are screaming from the mountaintop are being stifled one way or another.
