So if OBA premier’s personal staff was so much higher than Premier Burt, imagine how it compares to when Dr. B was in!!!!! The security detail alone and all the costs of taking them on the jet setting he did. Oh my word! Pulling the rabbit out of the hat while you didn’t mention this one TCF.

If Famous wants to compare costs then he should compare what Cannonier had vs Paula Cox. As they were a similar time period. Dunkley came in and cut two staff and reduced the cost considerably.

Unfortunately Famous likes to compare apples to oranges to suit his argument. Misinformation from Chris is disgusting as it is pulling the wool over Bermudians eyes.

Thank you Chris because for the last 5 years and counting that’s all and their trolls do is deflect deflect and straight up lie about things just to fool the ppl. That’s why the majority if the island is not with them. We are with you and this new Plp that will take us forward. Thank you sir for thinking of ALL Bermudians and not just the top 2 percent of this country like the previous govt did on so many occassions

Mr. Famous thinks everyone has short-term memories. If you are ‘outraged’ about Cross Island then you must be equally outraged at the ‘white elephant’ of the PLP known as the Grant Atlantic condos.

The BHC board at then time voted against the development and was overruled by the Minister at the time. In response several members of the BHC board resigned in protest against the political interference.

The main difference being is that Cross Island and the surrounding refurbished properties have found new uses under the new PLP Government less than a year into their new term whilst those ugly condos remain empty almost a decade on.

Oh and lets not forget that those condos cost he BHC government upwards of $50mn which is guaranteed by the Bermuda Government (ie taxpayer).

I double dare you Mr. Famous to write about the real ‘white elephant.’

Interesting how MP Famous only published Craig Cannonier related Premier expenses, but completely omitted Dunkley’s.

And answering such a simple question does not take ‘hours’ Mr. Famous. Lastly, where was your article in 2013 denouncing the PLP for asking the same question?

Chris, can you pleas compare Premier Burt’s expenses versus Premier Dunkley’s? If I recall Mr. Dunkley did not live in the Premier’s official residence so please net off at least $10k per month as Mr. Dunkley elected to rent the property out which the proceeds went directly to the taxpayer. Mr. Dunkley also did not have a housekeeper whereas Premier Burt does. So, year on year the taxpayer is paying more for the current Premier.

Also, the loan taken out by WEDCO was included in the $77m budget to host the Americas Cup. Now Minister Caines headed a committee to figure out how Cross Island would be used for in the future in order to gain revenue to pay off the loan. May I suggest you ask Mr. Caines for an update? 24-12, it’s your baby now

Mr Famous, why is Bermuda now over 2 BILLION in debt, when we were in profit before the last PLP Government took over? VERY simple question.
