ELAINE MURRAY

The bank knew more than voters

Elaine Murray: If a bank calls you asking about an American consultant attempting to open a local account, no matter that he has a work permit, a red flag should have gone up and you should have asked a few questions.

It’s wrong to make PRC holders the scourge of Bermuda

CONTEXT & FALLOUT / THE JOANNE MACPHEE FIRING

Good people sometimes make big mistakes

Elaine Murray: Joanne MacPhee has apologized for her actions to the community and to BIU leader Christopher Furbert and he has accepted her apology. The rest of us should follow suit and get back to making Bermuda work for all Bermudians.

Judge’s chauvinistic comments undermine women

Elaine Murray: Justice Carlisle Greaves failed miserably in his duty and should recuse himself from any further domestic violence cases.

It’s not the taxi fare increase, it’s the amount that irks

Elaine Murray: Too bad the Tourism Minister, Shawn Crockwell, doesn't understand the impact a 25% hike in cab fares will have on restaurants, retail and one’s ability to see some of the fantastic sights in Bermuda.
