Great move – well done to all involved! If you’re wondering why this is a great step, go back and read that section of the SAGE report.

Do we really need a SAGE commission to recommend we create a board to govern? To save money?
How about a drop of common sense. Last time I checked fuel costs were outrageous. When the fast ferries dock at Albouys Point, how about we use ropes to tie off like every other vessel, instead of drifting to the dock edge and not only leaving the engine on, but leaving it revved up enough to prevent the ferry from moving from the dock. Over a day, week, year how much money is wasted with the ferries docked, engines revved just wasting fuel?

Where are the numbers???
Well since it was government the figures would all be in the audited consolidated statement which is free for any member of the public to look at. Easy to put your fingers on those if you don’t mind getting off the couch and doing some investigating…. Not quite as easy as sitting home writing vague comments on bernews about possible gains / losses or comments about bermudians vs non bermudians . If you actually investigate the answers are all easily obtainable.

My logical mind tells me that something dose not sound right, but I cant put my figure on it yet.

So how much money does this “yet another” authority save/gains us?

The idea that removing government meddling would promote growth and efficiency but where are the numbers?

Will there be any Bermudian surveyors?
