How about the 20 mil overspent pushing dirt around Port Royal? Man, we could have given out lots more scholarships if the Grand Atlantic wasn’t built! How many scholarships could we have offered if the Faith Based Tourism project that ultimately led to someone being incarcerated was never launched. Geesh, then there was the Dame Liois Brown Bldg disaster that also was way over budget. How much did Globalhue get after they wined and dined Premiere Brown on their private jet? Or just imagine how many sponsorships we could give if we could just figure out where the $800 million in unaccounted for dollars went.

Here is the difference. The AC event is on or below budget and we know where and how every penny was spent and we can see the positive effects for Bermuda. If you or a family member was an electrician, construction worker, hospitality worker, taxi Driver, Jetski, Bike rentals, tour operators, in advertising and so on they benefitted. Name JUST ONE PLP project that was :
a) on budget
b) on time
c) not awarded to a family or friend of the PLP
d) had a real impact on the economy and / or tourism

We are waiting.
