    As an avid supporter of the One Bermuda Alliance it gives me great pleasure when reading pertinent information e.g. of trips and expenditures. Thanks for being so open to the public. If anyone wishes to scrutinize funds laid out by the O.B.A. Government they can. Wow! isn’t it contrary to how the former Govnt. e.g. the Progressive Labour Party spent our monies?

      Well that is easy:
      Nothing was ever released and never any costs released. As well as we can see the state of our economy for the past years.
