PLP are just like TRUMP. Want all the power and money for themselves. If they follow through City services will just deteriorate further and we’ll have more debt.

To quote a movie which mirrors, the island’s current situation, “So this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause.” Applause coming from the party’s, “party before all else” die-hard supporters.

Again? Dictatorship only when your guy is not in power I see. You all need to live in a real authoritarian state, maybe only then will you all stop using that word so loosely. You sure as hell wouldn’t be able to make stupid comments like that or any comments for that sake.

The sad part about these fools is they truly believe they know what they are doing. They will run this island to the ground. Another 5 years from now they will have spent every bit of money the can find. Watch out pensioners to be when it’s your turn to collect the pot will be empty. They will blame the OBA for it. Bunch of dumb fools.

“Not worst then legislating a law to abolish established contrats.”

The PLP did that too, what’s your point?
Oh, it’s oj, you have no point.

Another simple tax/asset grab.

All the issues listed in the Minister’s statements can be traced directly back to their previous manipulation of the Municipalities.

For instance under the previous PLP administration the main revenue streams for the Corporations were stripped away, thus preventing them from keeping up with necessary infrastructure maintenance.

It was their ‘Team Hamilton’ administration which gave away the Waterfront under a sham RFP. Interesting stance now issued by the PLP given their ‘outrage’ regarding the rescinding of the contract by the OBA. When it was rescinded it was labelled undemocratic and a racial attack. Now the PLP see it as evidence of unethical Corporation administration.

This Government is schizophrenic and hypocritical and has no issues misleading their support base. Just amazing what an election can do to one’s views on certain subjects.

How come the Taiwan protocol bizareness has never been made public? What moron did that – given the Chinese kneejerk reaction over any thing to do with Taiwan?

“During this period, Government will determine the most appropriate method to strengthen and modernize municipal governance for the benefit of Bermuda,” the Minister said.

In other words, “how can we get a bit of the pie and benefit our friends and family, and two fingers up to the rest of Bermuda”

“This bill seeks to provide the following: PLP control over the corporations, because, you know, when we’re done buggering up the rest of the country, we need something else to do.”

There, no need to read anything else.

“However, the impetus for changing this arrangement has never been very strong particularly when the Corporations have largely been able and had the resources to govern their affairs properly and efficiently. The Government believes that this can no longer be sensibly argued, and the case for changing the status quo has become stronger in recent years.”

In other words, the Government is going to abolish the Corporations of Hamilton and St. George, keep all the dock fees and do what it wants to do with the land.

Deferring elections.

Slowly, Bermuda is becoming a non-democratic authoritarian state.
