We have already essentially lost an entire generation over the last 20 years – let’s change things before that statement is true in another 20 years time.

They are not willing to infuse $1.75 Million over 5 years for that, but they will give $20+ million to people who are already rich?

Most of the list is a bunch of nothing that simply fills space. And the most “mentionworthy” things had to be worded in a way that would cause as little irritation as possible on the part of average Bermudians who know exactly who those decisions benefit directly, first and foremost (i.e. not us).

Notice how selective they are with the wording describing some of the more controversial decisions, to suggest improving life for Bermudians was priority number one. Funniest was 23 – Broadened incentives for job makers to deepen their commitment to Bermuda and create work opportunities for Bermudians. NAMELY GIVING AWAY PRC STATUS TO, LOOSELY DEFINED, “SENIOR MANAGERS”… The fact they made a conscious decision not to go into detail on that one says it all…

This time next yeat, item 55. Giving existing and growing pool of PRC holders (under new legislation) voting rights to secure subsequent election victories.. err for the betterment of Bermudians…

I guess if you do the same you can apply for a tax break on that too. I don’t understand why you think creating jobs and opportunitie sis bad for Bermuda….Sound more like a GREEN jealous rant.

ps I don’t have money, but I can see when something is good for Bermuda and Bermudians.

The OBA cut my salary, they raised my insurance, the let belco hike fees, and my social insurance went up! Who else should I blame.

I didn’t get no damned tax break, unlike the Greens at Hamilton Princess who are multi millionaires!

I know of many in the international business field who have lost jobs and are unable to find employment, yet the business continue to hire expatriate workers and renew work permits. These are educated and experienced Bermudians with families, mortgages and responsbilities.

Bermuda needs to be opened up further to outside investment and people welcomed in. Expatriates need to be offered a route to citizenship. Such measures will result in major blow back from the opposition and its supporters, but they are getting that anyway. Just go big now and stop p#$$y footing around. The window to turn things around is rapidly closing on you. Just get it done.

It has not even been 11 months. Give them a chance to turn things around. But I somehow doubt that is what you want to do right?
