Will we ever get an update on how any of these meetings have benefited Bermuda?
Can anyone explain why government officials always travel first class? If this were the 1980’s and we were awash with money I could understand it but we are billions in debt and yet the government still spends money with gay abandon. Crazy!
Is this ticket a last-minute purchase? $1089 is high to go to DC.
Other people’s money.
Complete b&&%%$#. Waste of fucking money.
