That decision most likely has been made, remember Mark is a friend of Brown…and Zane also is Brown’s best buddy, so like they say “birds of a feather” @#$%
together.

Weeeeeee..WH WH Weeeeeee! We are going on a junket. We don’t know what it is about. We don’t know why. We don’t even pay for it. Weeeeeeeee!

So lets see, 6 of them going, 6 5 star hotel rooms, Dennys is not good enough for us, rental cars or limos to get around, incidentals, shopping, we won’t pay no 35%.

What will it cost, $20,000, $30,000?

Mr. Bean needs to stay home and decide on the planning appeals of his fellow ministers, DeSilva and Furbert.

More on-the-job-training and boondoggles for an inept PLP Government.

What did they actually learn at last year’s seminar:

Actually if the PLP take something away and ACTUALLY implement it, it may do our country good. Strategic infracstructure maitenance and development is critical to any country economically. With Bermy being so small we don’t have room to mess up (we’ve seen what that looks like with Berkely, National Statdium, Kings Wharf). We’ll see how they do, you gotta invest to get something in return…so DONT MESS UP!!!!

Doesnt anyone in Government read the press releases from the Premier, or listen to her long speeches?

She said cut expenditure.

This is the same Infrastructure Summit attended by some of the same Permanent Secretaries less than a year ago you guys have to stop wasting tax payers cash

an all expenses paid vacation to miami is not what bermuda, the PLP or anyone needs right now come on you lot. I cant believe that MPs Weeks and Bean have jumped head first into this charade of the trips and travel. The Permanent Secretaries attend enough of these conferences to be able to brief you and the Cabinet on the latest developments internationally so you can get to work.

The irony of this is the fact that the MP’s from the West should be meeting with the MP’s from the East @ a Central location.

Bitch……$250,000 a day for interest.

Give a new meaning to ‘Bah Bah Black Sheep’.

Rip Bermuda.

It’s a good thing our budget problems have been solved so that we can afford to send such a large delegation to this very important conference about …(what was it again? accounting tricks? good governance? anyway, its KPMG so it must be something about hiding stuff from the auditor.}

Miami Heat is playing LA on the Thursday, and Phily on Saturday so don’t expect them back in Bda until Sunday. And of course they’ll all breeze through customs as VIPs.

I love it when the Party Loving People are out doing the Party Peoples’ business.

Firstly, this is a total waste of money. Secondly, Marc Bean is an MP, but why wold anyone think he has the inside track on this subject? You guys don’t get it. This is a boondoggle.
