The first day of an OBA Government gave Bermuda a larger 13 member Cabinet. Any savings which may had been made by salary reductions had been wiped out as Government Ministers hired personal consultants.

As if that wasn’t bad enough, when Tourism Minister Shawn Crockwell was questioned by the media he refused to comment on the cost of his personal consultant and refused to disclose the details of his work.

Oh, and let’s not forget that the former Government spent $3.5 million on airport consultants and kept it secret!

Children will miss school, seniors will miss medical appointments as there will be no Gov’t operated transportation. Are all ferries operating?

The PLP has been taking lessons from Donald Trump and every other populist government out in the world. Which in reality is how some came into power: put on a show of anger that gets other people like you angry, and then noone is paying attention, as their hate and anger is increased and reason goes out the door.
Sadly. most of the people that the PLP claims to protect; but the PLP electorate also say “here is our money”! They think its fine because they have been told the money really belongs to certain types, when it is coming out of their collective pockets to fill the pockets of friends and family of the PLP.

If Burt continues with allowing Burch to spew likes he does goes to show Burt is no better. Burch should not allow tax payers money to fix the wall at SCC anyway. Who is he to give away our money. Let SCC fix the wall themselves where is the clubs money some spent it unwisely like the current government does. They hacked up the fee for a sot at Cupmatch we’ll use the extra $$ to fix your wall.

Now he’s doing it and not telling us.
What a raging hypocrite.
