The phrase 25-11 is hate speech aimed at aggressively shutting down any reasoned debate.

The phrase is an example of targeted aggression, routinely thrown out to taunt a specific part of the population.

It will come back and bite you in the A$$.

Sylvan, your face is in the wrong place.
Also, did you put back the money you and Pamplin used from Government to go to Rio??
Your OBA has done treacherous activities.

Wow! Who knew PLP always in election mode.

Let’s talk Uighur Gate, Hospital Gate, Port Royal Gate, Cement Gate, Lois Brown Evans Building Gate and every other gate associated with them.

This is why the corporations do not need to be taken over by this PLP government. They are a fiscal nightmare.

Actual Trump lost the popular vote so the people didn’t get what they wanted in that case.

Which was supposed to be a whole new hospital but we only got a wing. One that is not big enough and created a bed shortage!

Looks like your reading comprehension skills are lacking. I said everyone agreed we needed a new airport. The financing is something people debate about but NOT THE NEED FOR A NEW AIRPORT!

Wow it has taken all this time for us to finally admit that 25 – 11 is actually a reflection on the OBA and not the PLP and that’s why the PLP are always in election mode.

Now only if the OBA leaders were to accept that and get real on their election mode campaign. We need to represent the majority demographic and distance ourselves from Dunkley, JetGate and come clean on who took the money from JetGate. Then we can rise and get the votes back!

I take it you have no idea how building systems work and and what it takes to run a building. Don’t worry, you don’t have to answer because the fact you think the airport was “ok” proves you know nothing

you have been watching too many British TV advertisements which is clear from your use of “to be fair” prefix.
Plus,I suspect your gig has been mentioned to you by certain people in low places.

Similar to the way Trump was elected, the people voted for what they wanted. Xenophobia, homophobia and racism.

To be fair, THIS lot beat the OBA 25-11…
It does say a lot about how well the OBA did their job…

Their best argument is “25-11”. They seem to rely on that a lot.

I shudder to think of the mess the Government will make it it gets to run two municipalities. Having power to demand governance by no means implies competence. The best thing Government can do is get out of the business of running anything altogether. It’s a train wreck in slow motion.

If anyone has the ear of government please ask them to consider the two bodies separately. There are reasons why eg it makes sense to change the Corp of Hamilton but the same reasoning doesn’t hold for St. George’s. To consider them both and treat them the same is not the right answer.

Nope we did not need a Hollywood airport in exchange for 30 years of lost revenue!!

the plp must be playing smoke and mirrors it worked on the reversal on rent tax then made more on the land tax hike ….actually worked in their favour….now lets see wanting to take over the corporations what is the real plan….well maybe that one fell into their lap the only thing I keep coming up with is they want the Hamilton waterfront and corporation fueltax…they will absorb the staff as they always do making more people depended on Government…I am really struggling to work it out ,,they can’t operate anything or manage anything so why take on more …its mindblowing…st.Georgians they did their best to shut us down …closed golf course then knocked down a perfectly good clubhouse …shut the fire station ….shut the police station took back the wharfage duty from airport freight….the plp are trying again …DONT LET THEM

PLP just “going through the motions” to look like their “listening to the people”. OBA have better chance of winning seats in St. Georges at next Election if PLP take it over.

Nope. Most of us wanted the airport and liked the economic stimulus it provided.
What we don’t like is the secretive PLP and your austerity plans.

I believe everyone agreed we needed a new airport, does everyone agree major changes are needed for Hamilton and St Georges? Methinks not. Wake up people!!! Hahahahaha!!!

Curtis wants the wharfage fees. IT’s as simple as that.

Given how utterly useless the PLP have been, a staggering track record of failure and cost overruns, this should scare the bejesus out of everyone.

Corporations to take over Government! YES ! I vote for that. It makes far better sense than the reverse. This Government, time and time and time again, shows its is not capable of running a lemonade stand, let alone a country.

Why is there a town hall meeting in St George’s coming up?
The municipality already had one and the Government didn’t come.
Or, the ones who were there, didn’t speak.

It is interesting that the gov are advertising their intentions on radio and saying that the corporations do not have any money…..Does government have money? I do not want government to take over the municipalities largely because they (plp) have NO track record of being able to run anything! In fact I would vote for the reverse where the corporations take over running government. NO, NO, and NOOOOOOOO!
