They get the respect they deserve. Didn’t you ever learn that?

“Hopefully all the Naysayers will try to be respectful.”

Hopefully the naysayers will be allowed in the room!

As I said above, the last time I went to a PLP organised “Town Hall” I was threatened with violence for asking a question. No naysaying involved.

Q. Is anyone “allowed” to go and ask questions, or is it restricted to those three constituencies?

In my experience (which admittedly goes back some years), anyone who asks a question the PLP does not like is threatened with violence and ejected from the Town Hall

Could become quite an eventful and lively meeting without Burt there. Gencom may well go off the PLP script regarding funding if they face serious questioning, and I think they will.

Because Gencom wants the money generated by sales of the “fractional units” to declare dividends and fund the renovations to the 50 year old hotel building.

It does not want to risk its own money.

That’s a great idea and one I said the other day.

Also, why is Zane going to be at this town hall? You know that ICS is going to get a big fat contract for working on this development. The one MP with the best Govt contracts.

The very sad thing is that these PLP reps are being sent to their undoing !! Just like ‘browns cows’…
Good luck PLP …with a bankrupt Colony ! Only yourselves to blame….

He doesn’t want to face uncomfortable questions. He’s a coward.

What you running from Burt?

Show your face. Pathetic.

What I want to know is why they don’t just deal with the hotel aspect first, maybe including a couple of small buildings for tourist/residential, with leave to expand in the future subject to whatever rules are in place at that time.

Why does the government now have to agree to six-storey buildings years in advance of their planned building?

‘Progress’ and covering what very little green space we have left with 6 story high concrete monoliths that only a very few will benefit from are two very different things .

Not exactly the fizziest drink in the fridge.

I presume, there investigation was covered up, swept under the carpet, otherwise quietly forgotten.

If the PLP really cared about what the people think, Burt has to be there, but he won’t show his face, neither will Burch.
Make it clear to the other 3 to start looking for another job at the next election. MPs only pay attention when they may lose their seat.

Why don’t they just give Morgan’s Point to Gencom?

Finish what was started, renovate SP, no encroachment on green space. Get on with it.

Hopefully all the Naysayers will try to be respectful. The voice of a naysayer is usually negative and restrictive most of the time. Progress? Nope! They wonder why we can’t achieve progress in this country with the economy contracting for many years, while many of my fellow Bermudians continue to move to greener pastures- OVERSEAS!

This should be televised for the whole island to watch and available on CITV afterwards.

They have Crystal Caesar there? She hasn’t appeared in years. How did that investigation of her end up?

I won’t be going. The last time I went to a PLP organised “Town Hall” I was threatened with violence for asking a question.

Send in rent a crowd to scream No SDO, No SDO.

Should be interesting when it gets to demanding each MP to declare their interests, as if they would.

2 things:

* our finance minister NEEDS to be there.
* this affects more than just the residents of those constituencies – every resident on the island should be invited and should attend.
