    Congratulations Donal, you will make a well overdue difference in Hamilton as you are a visionary with the knowledge and gumption to get things done.

  2. new administration says:

    What is Mrs. Rawlins role in the corporation management team?

  3. M.P.Mountbatten JP says:

    Is this the same guy who is involved at the emissions centre at the very expensive TCD ?

  4. Rick Olson says:

    One thing I think the COh had wrong was the huge investment in traffic lights please relook .

  5. OMG says:

    I could be wrong but is Donal involved with the new hotel to be built in Hamilton?? “If” this is the case how can he sit on the COH with a vested interest in the hotel.

    Was he also involved in the TCD mess??

    Just asking?

  6. street wise says:

    On the traffic lights in Town, Rick, I heartily agree! They seem to mostly tie up the traffic. We should institute Left Turns on a Red light to maybe speed things up a bit.

    I believe Donal is Ewart’s Cousin, and is intimately involved with the Par-la-Ville Park Hotel insider money-maker. How fortunate that he is now Deputy Mayor! Wonder who orchestrated that…?

  7. Who Cares says:

    In regards to the comment of “street wise”. What does his relation with Ewart Brown have to do with his rights as deputy Mayor? It is so like Bermudians to beat up their own when someone is getting ahead. I think that Donal Smith will be an incredible Alderman of Hamilton and whatever decisions he makes will only be beneficial. I mean really, what has anyone else really done? So to everyone under this comments list with nothing but negative things to say about him, LETS SEE YOU DO IT!!!!!

    Convo ended

  8. Don't get it says:

    Something big must be coming, the hands that take are certainly getting into position. And when the curtain comes up, guess who will be center stage.
