So you are advocating for political actions to destroy a private business out of your dislike for his/their political affiliations?

Do you even hear yourselves these days?

Not sure why it posted that here, but it explains why it seemed to disappear when i hit submit.

In relation to your post, i did notice that too. I’m not sure why or if it is not that way going forward. I hope not.

*So is there a development being planned for 9 Beaches ?*

I have discounted any rumors of an actual hotel development . However , there is a rumor involving the hospitality industry that I’d say is very plausible.

Betty , the lease lapsed under the old guys and admittedly it should have been sorted out back then but talk of ‘closure’ didn’t happen until your guys came along.
Get it right now .

Actually, the dairy is also a major food importer and distributor – all Pepsi products which include sodas, their Frito Lay snacks, Tropicana juices, etc. So big Mike and baby brother Stephen are not going anywhere.

However, it still strikes me that the milk market in Bermuda is regulated in all the wrong ways and none of the right ways to the detriment of the consumer.

“That discussion took place later on Monday and I am pleased to report that Government has taken the decision and instructed the Bermuda Land Development Company who have oversight of the 9 Beaches Property to inform – up front – to any potential developer that the farm will not be moved and its presence next door must be considered with any development…”

So is there a development being planned for 9 Beaches?

Rent arable land… park trucks all over it! Thats the Bermuda way! If arable land is not used for arable purposes its tax rate should be considerably raised! This would encourage farming and discourage corporate misuse of resources! Not only are these people not using the land to its designated purpose, the usually ageing fleet of vehicles they have decided to part there are most likely dripping gas and oil on land that was once deemed good for its potential to grow

Does anyone actually read the article anymore before making a comment? This is Bernews! I would say one of the few if not the only news source in Bermuda that gives a report that is factual. Read before making silly and untrue comments. If not you will end up being called the character that Shrek became friends with.

Wow, I never thought of it that way before. Is there any regulation at all of the dairy industry in Bermuda? It would make sense too to import extra milk rather than have our kids drink that powdered stuff.

Westover farm & the Somerset cricket club wall. A Burch call. Major backdown from him re the farm after the wall was done by OBA volunteers. Says alot for his ability to be a proper member of the PLP. But then again there is no one is proper in the PLP government. Where has the $ gone PLP. The wasted $ on trips not needed. Does local people come first? Not in the PLP’s eyes & the fools who put them in.

Such BS, as the Bascomes would have been well aware when their lease ended. You have a lease, then it is accounted for in your business accounts. PLP spi.n trying to make out that they rode in on a white horse to save the day. Absolute BS. Yet some people lap up the lies and spin,PLP need to stop. Am sick of it.

I have a question that’s unrelated to this story. But maybe someone can answer it for me.

Prior to the recent upgrade of the Bermuda Parliament website, http://parliament.bm, you used to be able to download the audio recordings of the House of Assembly sittings. Unless I missed it, the new website appears to not have this capability.

Does anyone know if this is going to put back on the website or has it been permanently removed? Maybe someone in the Bernews organization can answer that for us?

Just admit you were wrong in trying to force the Bascomes out and are only back peddling now trying to pass blame because the community didn’t support what you were trying to do.

Actually, if we simply imported all our fresh milk, we would be rid of all these smelly cows and have a better,cheaper product. Any talk that we need fresh local milk in case of emergency is patent nonsense – we would not last a month without imported food supplies so what is losing a few cows.

Also, does the health dept run routine tests on our local milk supply to test quality and purity. We all know what the RoundUp does to the frogs but I’ve frequently wondered what it does to the cows.

Ministers…private sector executives.
Interesting correlation…
Interesting comparison…let me see now…
No…bad comparison…
You see….you are voted for and you tax your voters for income…
Interesting indeed.
Hey …these are our tax dollars

.we…we ultimately decide their expenditure…remember …we voted you in and we can vote you out….it will allways be that way!
