It appears by your comment that you come from a perspective of privilege and power – if I spend it I decide it.

The $39 million and counting was spent without even the thought of involving broad representation from our Bermuda community. This Cross Island ‘consultation’ process is an after the spend, court ordered, process of community consultation.

If we slow the process down to an authentic community consultation, we can uncouple the money from the use as the community is paying for Cross Island regardless if they like, want or need the new nine acres.

This spend first, consult later approach models our current political system of power, privilege and self-dealing.

Open up your books WEDCo, BELCO, Government, Contractors etc. and share your financials on Cross Island.

Sort of like neighbours who don’t want you to build because you will destroy ‘THEIR’ view. Oh really! It is, is it.

Dockyard is a commercial area. It is a hub for marine activity. Whatever happens to Cross Island should be marine related. That simple. Marine businesses cannot operate inland. Land related activity does not need water frontage.

BEST is NEEDED, THANK YOU. They a Group that helps to negotiate Bermuda’s Environmental Better future (thanks for any other group too). If they were not there, Bermuda maybe only in the hands of the Government, Developers & Financiers, and they may be only for their wants.

I think that keeping it open space is a wonderful idea!
If that is what BEST wants, all they have to do is put up $39 million.
