“I don’t think anybody would like to be in their position making this decision. It’s the proverbial rock and a hard place.”

Maybe he hasn't seen all of the parties campaigning to be in their position.

"Meanwhile, Labour Director John Pinder sought to justify this telling The Tribune that due to the state of the country’s financial affairs, government has to prioritise what it spends."

Can the government at least list who in similar positions have been paid so we can all see which groups of persons are prioritized over the other groups? Can the Tribune find out if others are experiencing the same or is it just the nurses?

Meanwhile, Bahamasair will cost the taxpayer about 70m and we're still running the Grand Lucaya.

Michael Scott, the Grand Lucayan's chairman, who previously described the present Royal Caribbean/ITM terms as "a bad deal", was off-island when contacted by this newspaper and said he would respond to these fears later.

Does anyone believe that the Minister receved a report on such a major topic and has not yet reviewed the findings.

Has anyone answered the simple question yet. Dr. Minnis says he is against oil extraction. If they find oil in commercial quantities shouldn't he just say no thank if he is that much against it?
