AECON did not build it out of the goodness of their heart. The situation is unfortunate but better that financing the project ourselves. Using a local construction firm which would have guaranteed led to cost overruns and delays as they have no expertise and experience building anything like this. Keep in mind the PLP had budgeted over $350 million for the new airport and this deal was far less then that.

The same clue that built Sandy’s 360 and paid twice, the same group that built Grand Atlantic, The same group that destroyed the Shelly Bay Beach development out of spite leaving the residents with nothing? They have a clue? Lol. Don’t confuse good politicians with good government.

Glad you didn’t try to argue that Scott and Tyrrell are indeed bright but rather took the easy route and parroted every other simpleton in the green party.

I know some of your supporters may be fooled this easy but not everyone is so daft guys – the airport is all we could afford after your incompetent party leveraged us far past our means us under Mr. platinum era the good DR times. Stop assuming we are stupid.

So since the pandemic that’s around $200M that could have been invested in Bermudians. There, corrected it for you.

This is nothing new for Bermuda.

(the tax payers) and the Govt. have to wait until the end of Skyport’s financial year/audits for Skyport themselves to determine whether the invoice was accurate or not and to credit the Govt. accordingly? I hope that credit contains interest for the duration of the overcharge period?

More or less shocking than PLP being bad at math.

Trying to wiggle their way out of why they are not fiscal responsible. Last week on TV DB made the statement when asked about South P and Gencom, by trying to use an illustration about Morgan’s Point property. Yet in that same interview tried to lump praise for St. Regis. Let’s not forget this to was initiated under the OBA watch.

What major job creations has this current government created since they have returned in office.

Stop trying to take credit for things you haven’t initiated and when it comes to criticism, divert to pointing your finger at the other political party.
