Why this continual harping about Jetgate. Agreed it was not the OBA’s greatest hour, but I would compare it to the scandal concerning Faith Based Tourism, when a similar amount of TAXPAYERS”S money was given with no firm instuctions as to how it was to be spent: I repeat that this money belonged to the Bermuda People. So if these two cancel each out we are left with—–. BHC scandal, Port royal, TCD, Heritage Wharf, The Court/Police Building, and the unaccounted for $800 million. What do they say about people in glass houses?

The 2014 Government report says tourism generated $194,000,000 in tax revenue and they are giving BTA $23 million. BTA is funded by tourist not taxpayers.

2011, it was the first ministry to be cut when the recession hit… course at the time tourism and transport got a little extra, so it really didn’t count as an attempt to try and cut government expenditure.

These aren’t government funds.
By the way, the PLP cut the Education budget by $15m in 2011. That was “different” I suppose. LMFAO.
