Cedarbridge and Berkley have an application process and expected academic standards for various programs.(BTW these two streamed schools with academic standards would pull many kids out of private school into the public system imo.)

Make Bermuda college a dual trades high school and undergrad program.

note: take those now empty public pre schools and rent them out to sport / charities for a dollar and have the renters pay for the building maintenance. or sell them off to pay down portion of the debt.

this country needs radical education change, not reform, reform is changing an existing system. We need a new system.

as for the PLP – LOL irrelevant.

Granting $750k to the corporation to allow infrastructure upgrades to be undertaken. Remember the PLP stripped away the revenue streams of the corporations which prevented the entity from investing into st. George’s.

Leasing an overseas ferry which is used to transport cruise ship passengers to sr. George’s. I. The first season alone more than 100k tourists visited st. George’s on the ferry. The same ferry that the PLP objected to. And also don’t forget the PLP are the ones that cancelled the ferry service to the east need while in power.

The implementation of an east end ambulance service to allow faster response times for emergencies.

The institution of a 0.25% oil dock tax with all monies going straight into the coffers of st. George’s.

The announcement of the new hotel development to break ground at the club med site.

That was in 2 years.

In 14 years of the PLP they managed to blow up the old hotel, force the closure of the public golf course which attracted many people to the east end ( and yet no cries of privatization from the usual suspects), forced the closure of a Bermudian owned beach bag business (and yet no cries of anti-Bermudian from the usual suspects), cancel a ferry to the east end and starve the corporation of revenue.

Next.

Of course, we also then have more to soend on useful things, like making sure public employees get their full 14 weeks fake sick leave every year.

by increasing payroll taxes?

Surely this is a health hazard as well. How many restrooms are in the room? Where will the pre-school students tak a nap? Who are the peolpe confimring the operational logistics?

Are there actually projected future cash flow forecasts? How does OBA even know if it will work? How would the stakeholders benefit from from this if it ends up being a bust?

These people are doing anything, many. And nothing is going to stop them.

Will it affect their kids; families?

How are they going to profit from the evacuated schools? Is the money for America’s Cup? Are the (invisible profits) going to be enough to rectify the (not-so-extreme) country deficit?

Maybe I don’t need to know. Maybe no one needs to know, except those recklessly making decisions?

Whose to say that there will not be more traffic congestion in neighborhoods. Think now if the Palmetto road has not been completed. Or if there is still public works being performed on Marsh- Folly Road (short run issues).

Can anyone from the OBA taking part of this initiative answer these questions publicly?

Kangoocar – keeping racism alive since 2012

Why would we need more than one hospital keep a sense of perspective. I don’t know how much tax your paying but it’s got to be a hell of a lot of you think you are paying for all this healthcare.

What are we going to do when even more of those expats who actually pay their healthcare costs but are amazingly healthy leave.

I can name 4 actions issued by the OBA in 2 that far outstrip the economic devastation that the PLP helped to inflict on the East End.

And now you have the nerve to complain if the budget is exceeded?

And where were you when the PLP put forward school consolidation as a method to save monies? Or when they privatized/outsourced numerous Government activities?
