Why no Bob Richards? Are they dumping the foul mouthed finance minister who doubled the debt and gave away our airport without a tender?
I wouldn’t give you ten cents for a PLP leader with a foul mouth.
no one “gave away” the airport… that is a PLP misrepresentation..
So, we the people have to foot the electricity bill for this new airport. We also have to pay rent to Aecon for the mail clearance facility. So if that’s not giving away money I don’t know what is.
“So if that’s not giving away money I don’t know what is.”
It’s similar to losing $800M under the PLP government….a giveaway, if you wish
How much is it costing us to build the new airport? Sorry I have misplaced my notes.
And $30 Million a year for 30 years.
Remind me, who built the airport originally?
That’s not true… you have not adjusted for the impact of the cost to build… typical deception
We foot the bill for electric now, and maintain the mail facility (which is falling apart). Basically we are getting an airport and paying for it over 30 years.. kinda like buying a house and paying a mortgage!!!
Who pays the electricity bill now?
Who forgot to put solar panels on the enormous flat airport roof so it would pay for itself in a short time and lessen our burden?
Probably moving him to a safer seat
Isn’t Bob in one of those Smiths seats anyway?
Oh lol
Umm, Drew, the debt had to be doubled in order to pay for the Civil Service that was bloated by the PLP, whom I might add more than quintupled; that’s right quintupled (I didn’t realize that was actually a word) our debt. Can you imagine? Wow. There was no reason for the PLP to have done that to Bermuda and her people. It was deliberate, or just a gross misunderstanding of economics. And we are not giving away the airport. We getting a state of the art facility to replace that dilapidated, filthy, and outdated structure we have now. Not to mention if it’s pouring rain, as it does frequently in Bermuda, you get soaked. Additionally, the new airport will not only create new jobs to build, but it will also create loads of new jobs once it’s up and running. There will be food service, retail, it will probably require a maintenance crew much larger than the crew that now services the facility, etc. The latter is of most importance; job creation.
Mother Theresa, I entirely agree with you post however would like to clarify, what i consider, to be a slight inaccuracy.
The PLP did not quintuple our debt. There was a circa $40 million surplus when the PLP took control. On that basis there was no debt to be increased (by any factor).
I’m sure the supporters will baselessly attribute it all to the ‘global recession’, regardless of the fact that Bermuda’s economy, if managed properly could have largely remained recession-free.
Alas, such is life…
Yep, they got a full bank account and an economy that was purring along nicely and in the end we were broke – a charity case in every sense. In their last term the plp got wind of a notion that you could borrow and spend your way out of a recession so they hired all their friends and family into the civil service and effectively Booby – trapped the next government.
If the plp did this much damage in 14 years why, oh why, would we want another plp government? The dire state of our economy is a glaring example of their inability but there is another issue which calls on their integrity and some will say that is not relevant and complain that some questions and cases are “political” and should be disregarded as such….But are we not talking about politicians? If you are a politician then you gotta live the life you live.
Thanks for the input!!
To bad you didn’t have those thoughts about the previous admistration that put us in debt..
FYI If we have know money to pay our DEBT. We need to burrow it to keep OUR island functioning.
Too bad you don’t know how to spell.
But you got the message clearly?
Defeceit and interest on debt.
The defeceit alone was $400m. Multiply by 4.5 years = $1.8bn, add on interest to all that and it points to a party that has stopped the bleeding.
Everyone moaning about the state of public schools (I agree, it’s deplorable) needs to understand it takes more than 5 years of neglect to get into that state. So, despite the PLP overspend, the infrastructure of the island is still a mess.
Agreed
I guess JetGate is a DeadGate.
WTF
Considering the people who were on the plane, that’s a comment in very poor taste.
Disgusting.
well you gonna have a new gate soon called casino gaming gate.
Just be patient
He’s, way better at math than sly cunning Burt
Glen Smith desperately tried to extol the OBA’s economic record, using the examples of his business. Adding 16 staff over the course of 4 1/2 years. He’s gotten business from the government.
Cannonier so shook he can’t even pronounce words correctly
Shook ?
Can’t pronounce words correctly ?
Have u heard Walter Roban speak ?
Ave u heard weeks speak ?
Cmon there are a disgrace speaking as Bermudians
Its a digrace having de first Premier to resign in Bermuda’s History to be act like he”s preaching a sermon.
What a F!@#ing JOKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!
…Have not Ave… Come one not Cmon… and ‘they are’ or ‘they’re’ not ‘there’.
he thought that he would be kicked out of his safe seat for fahy
and where is moniz maybe they will run him in the dockyard area
Bye Bye OBA
David Burt must pay for what he did to Marc bean and now Paula cox
What did he do?
I hope Paula runs on an independent ticket!!
Paula would probably do quite well if she decides to run. Hopefully she will!!
If the OBA go bye bye Bermuda will be gone gone in 5 years.
Save the children.

You are forgetting PLP, that the only people who could deal with finances is the OBA. What a joke. Looking across the water, the most powerful country in the world is headed by an idiot. If Obama was that incompetent he wouldn’t last one day. So PLP don’t put much value to the naysayers, iou will do just fine.
I hope the PLP win I wanna see how they fix everything ?
Glenn. I must say u appear genuine and I can say good work. I am impressed with you and keep up the good work.
Now as for Craig. Omg. He’s a disgrace. An utter disgrace. Can someone answer why Craig is still in politics please.
The question is this , even with good people , what are the chances of Micheal Dunkley leading any party to victory ? He failed with the UBP , and he’ll make history for a double after failing the OBA .
Oh by the way , there is no alliance anymore !
Why don’t they run Craig down St. George’s?
Everything is highly unlikely from the Unlikely Bunch!
