    Finally a positive outcome in the Land of No.

    The selection of Dwayne Caines Esq for this significant responsibility at this critical time in Bermuda’s evolution gives us hope.

    His professionalism, integrity and consistent commitment to the Community will ensure that the City of Hamilton successfully navigates our current headwinds.

      To not be swayed as you suggest, Mr. Caines might want to relinquish his membership to a particular group for that to be believable. Great move Wayne.
