    Any chance we can get concrete answers as to what exactly will be done about the massive $$million over run on the port royal project this time, or will this just be another waste of time by the politicians that we pay?????

    • Raymond Ray says:

      @ Kangoocar: According to da fella, “that’s the multi million dollars question” everyone needs answered :-(

  2. Raymond Ray says:

    Well let us,(if you also believe there’s power in prayers) pray for a just conclusion to the unanswered questions reference to the unaccounted for millions of Bermudian Taxpayers dollars :-(

  3. Balanced Facts says:

    But the PLP Greenies are making noise about some rubble from a wall and Financial Instructions not being followed and PORT ROYAL has millions of dollars in over runs without proper financial instructions…and not a word of apology or valid explanation!

    No comments?

    How odd.

  5. Lois Frederick says:

    Funny how these meetings have such short notice. Seem to be scheduled with little notice. Unless the public are extremely flexible most would find it hard to attend. I didn’t hear any mention of a second related meeting being planned after the first one.

      There is a method to Burt’s madness. At the end of the day we will not get the truth, sad but true.

    When you name a golf course Port Royal , it must live up to great expectations ! PLP didn’t name it but the course now far exceeds expectations …. Did you see it on TNT ? Millions of people around the world ohh an ah..d over the spectacular sights .

    Money well spent … Now move on people , let’s talk about the folks who feel entitled to remove perfectly government stone for personal use .

    Just go to the well of the ” Golden Bucket” who needs to keep accounting records,when the well is empty, just look under the hood.

  8. The Truth and Nothing but the Truth !! says:

    The Chairman is David Burt ??? Why ?? It should be an accounting firm as far away from the political arena as possible.
