Education is very,very important for the forward movement of any community, gambling is not, it is a form of robbery..Many who gamble will rarely give to the poor.

This means he was granted an exemption given the law they passed on MP’s being conflicted. (The Crockwell amendment!) Of course he will not be abl to vote on anything related to Gaming in the House! Seems to me the OBA don’t know the meaning of the word “conflict” or if they do they just don’t care how it applies to them! Shake my head!

He has NO experience with Casinos.
He is a member of the Government.

This is all wrong in many ways.

Do both, especially when there’s influence to be gained. PLP way.

Are the MPs not allowed a real job??
If he was still in cabinet there could be a potential conflict or if had been instrumental in the gaming legislation like Mark or Sean then sure there would be a conflict of interest. Qualified but not being able to work in your own country – you should say it is great a qualified Bermudian got the job.

Mr. Scott has held similar positions before so I know that he is more that capable but although the plan is for the commission to be self funded it now is government funded so this is clearly a conflict of interest. It is clear that with a market driven pay rate plus a member of parliament salary he will be better off financially then he was as a fulltime cabinet minister so I understand why he is doing this still I believe that there is a conflict here.

I think he should resign as an MP for the oba/ubp.

Doesn’t look right.

The OBA is turning out to be just like the PLP when it comes to nepotism. 9 candidates and they choose the MP, that will vote on casino laws?

So he’s a OBA MP and the Chief Technology Officer for the Bermuda Casino Gaming Commission. Is that not a conflict of interest. When the PLP did things like this you called it friends and family plan. Hurry up and call the election after America’s Cup. Lets say August or December Dunky.

You leave education to chase the gambling spotlight?
