It is a consultation document which allows the public to understand spending and revenue proposals for the new fiscal year and provides an opportunity for public input before the 2020/21 budget is finalized.

“Observations and comments about the report may be sent via email to openbudget@gov.bm. Following a brief presentation at the meeting, attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions of the Minister of Finance, the Hon. Curtis L. Dickinson, JP, MP.

    Who do the PLP think that they are fooling? The budget is all but ready to go to press. There is time for minor tweaking only.

    Why is it that although the Bermuda Gov has a ton of centrally located venues at their disposal with better parking like the Bermuda College, Cedarbridge / Ruth Seaton James, Berkeley to name a few, why do they having their meetings at alternative venues with less space, less parking and I’m guessing at a cost?

  3. Curious says:

    Why would any government ask the public to discuss a proposed budget? People elect a government to do the very best for the population. This is nothing more than the usual smoke screen and lip service that means nothing.
