Thanks, for that breath of fresh air…
Are you serious, people don’t really care about his expense trip overseas. Crap is getting old.
The Premier expense was this much….this Minister expense was this much….this Senator expense was this much. Does any other country advertise how much each politician spends when they travel for Government business? NO!!! because their busy running the country and making real deals without all the red tape Bermuda has adopted over the years. Dam were still waiting for casinos.
Why don’t his staff reveal how many more tourists flew into Bermuda for the month of July 2015 compared to July 2014 last year. Now that would be news worth reading about.
I would imagine you 8(thus far) attended that Concert that the P.L.P. Government put on in Dockyard, not telling us how much was spent? (More-like wasted)
And the lie detector test determines that’s a lie…. Maybe for his flight. Which to me I think personally a trip to the UK should cost the premier of Bermuda around 10-15 thousand. He is running a country ! He deserves a nice hotel and nice limo to get him there and he should definitely be traveling first class ! He is the premier !
Perhaps Michael Dunkley doesn’t need a huge entourage to make him feel presidential.
That’ll be Dr. E.W.B. & Associates, not the “milkman”
Who the hell is paying for that? We dont even have money to fix our infrastructure and help our seniors and you want the Premier to have a holiday on the tax payers expense? Idiot
Really Jadon? Read much??? First class flight to the UK is about $4,000. All the ancillary costs you described were picked up by the AC. Try comprehending what you read before you comment.
Yes and?…that’s two weeks groceries….this is what we all pay in going away…quite rediculously modest for the leader of a country …no…seriously…who gos away and spends that little?…..My question…is what is your point?
