The Attorney General has now given the Government’s reason for this move, to remove the power from the oligarchy as she called it, and redistribute it

Well done Senators! This is a grab by the PLP and at least SOMEONE in the right place recognizes it.

Sad state of affairs isn’t it? How did it even get this far? PLP keep holding press conferences in an effort to look like they are a hard working bunch and somehow deserve to take over the corporations.

Thank-you Senators, With the PLP majority in the house all sorts of nonsense like taking over the municipalities will be passed based on the party whip. With the second level of government and independent Senators hopefully sensible bills will be made. Push it back as foolishness. This is nothing but a land and tax grab to ensure PLP friends and family benefit from the redevelopment of the waterfront. If the PLP was the true people’s party then put the take over of the municipality to a referendum for the people of Bermuda to decide the faith of the municipalities. What are they afraid of? Everyone knows government spends more than they make and the city and town will quickly fall into disrepair under its tutelage. Will rate payers taxes and wharfage go away under government or just be raised. Both residence and business of both municipalities should protest or suffer two tier taxes for less services and no representation.
