They spend less than the failed DoT used to and have actually seen success despite tighter budgets.

But yet you and your team want to go back to Faith Based tourism and other failed PLP schemes simply because the BTA wasn’t your team’s idea…

Thus it can be deduced that you love your Party over your country.

“Accounting for the Spending does not JUSTIFY the Spending”

You wrote that the OBA killed gaming, but provided not one shred of evidence to back up your little rant. Typical.

You can rewrite history all you like. Doesn’t make it the truth.

Despite advertising for a seasoned executive for more than a year now they haven’ had any callers. know why? Because of the PLP’s power hungry nature which saw them kill the independence of the Gaming Commission. no one in their right mind would put their reputation in the industry at risk to work for a Omission that is susceptible to political interference and possible corruption. PLP and their desire to control each and every aspect of Bermuda will be its and our downfall. And supporters such as yourself that blindly support such self serving behaviour are the reason they are able to act in such an autocratic manner.

You love the PLP, but you hate Bermuda as a whole.

Actually the BTA is audited each and every year by the Auditor General. And to date each audit has come back clean.

The comment above is what happens when all you do is listen to radio talk shows and self serving politicians.

Dare to think for yourself for once. It’s refreshing.

Because they are spending our money without our input and checks and balances! Not what the OBA advertised at all! Time to answer to who writes the checks!

The OBA killed gaming! Get it straight! They tried to hurt a Bermudian entrepreneur from entering the market and leading Bermuda in this area! I attended the PLP Education workshop and It is comical to read such an uninformed post and frankly insulting to us businessmen who under the OBA regime were set aside and marginalized by the likes of the OBA (Fahy, Gibbons and Dunkley) and the commissioner and gaming consultant. Thank god the PLP had the sense to step in and stop such nonsense.

Thank you for such a well reasoned response. It will take some time to digest your reasons as to why the BTA must go. OK, why?

Ms Scott knows that this is fixing what was a wrong set in place by her government, but she cannot admit to that. Politics at its best/worst.

They killed gaming with their desire for unbridled and unopposed power.

Why not the BTA as well?

PLP are slowly becoming an autocratic Government who have no time for anyone who doesn’t a) look like them or b) think like them. Next step is dictatorship. This scenario has been played out hundreds of times throughout human history.
