I must admit that i am quite impressed with Miss Turner's articles .There are many letter writers out the ,whose letters are just given a quick perusal by me at best ,or not at all ,letters written from both sides of the political divide, eg; Ivoine Ingraham, Ossie Brown,Forrester Carroll etc,because historically they are all just apologists for their political masters and in many cases written for political crumbs.Without glancing over Bahamas Press,another one of them, i wouldn't even khow who Sharon Turner is.It is obvious from her writings that she is an intelligent ,articulate and knowledgible your lady with a great concern for her country.I look forward to reading more of them!

I must admit

Keep it up Hubert Chipman and use their own mantra .Remember what they used to say about the road project , which was completely necessary and has transformed Nassau. Tell them they care more about buildings than they care about people.

The mere fact that he was convicted was good even though i disagree with the punishment.We have many convicted murderers and arm robbers walking the streets and others who are a danger to soceity.His reputation has been severly tarnished and i think we missed a great oppurtunity here. Since nobody,except repeat offenders ,like to go to jail , he should have been given an alternative ; that ,or build a house over-the -hill for some poor Bahamian free of charge and he would have to report there every day for a full 8 hours,5 days a week until it is completed.I believe he would choose the latter.In my view that would be punishment enough as black Bahamian politicians only go there when on the campaign trail and most of them don't like to .

my comment is not on this article per se, but on your related "More like this story" section. It would be good if your related stories had a date attached to them for it is only when reading the article if a date is mentioned therein that you can pinpoint the time. If no date is mentioned within the article you are left stumped .

These are the people who swung you by making you believe in their slogans about putting Bahamians first .

The main thing that concerns me about this sad affair is that Mr. Smith said that the prime minister has complete confidence in him.We all know that the prime minister has never shown the guts to not have confidence in any of his MP's. Remember Shane Gibson,Perry Christie said that he did not have to resign ,but when things got too hot and Shane did resign( on his own) because Perry is afraid to pressure them, Perry said that it was the right thing to do.

The mere fact that you feel your "new cadre of intelligent and dynamic candidates" may have to hold his feet to the fire or fire him, shows your lack of confidence in your leader.The only thing you like about him is that he is PLP. If you have a mind to ,you should check out the FNM candidates,new and not so new; they are awesome! As for Mr. Ingraham if you read the article in this Tribune concerning the Defence Force he consulted with past and present members as to the way forward with the Force .So contrary to your beliefs, he consults but he takes maximum responsibility for his decisions and works at his maximum to achieve maximum results for his people. I hope you and your fellow PLP members watched last night's rally to really see what the Late Great PLP Maximum Leader thought of Mr. Ingraham.
