It appears from the tone and approach that our elected officials they seem to have a misplaced idea of who they are responsible to. They are not our caretakers, they have been chosen to do a job and if we feel they are not doing it–we have the right to ask and they have an obligation to answer and not in an offhanded, petulant and arrogant way–the current haughty approach really only sows the seeds of mistrust in the community.

If you are talking about the airport minimum revenue guarantee, then please calculate the interest on the debt we would have to borrow to build the airport, then look at what it would have cost to run the airport during covid as we would have to still pay that. You’ll find that the OBA saved us a huge amount of money more than what was paid for the minimum revenue guarantee. You also have to remember there was no money in the pot at the time the OBA came into power to pay government worker wages let alone build an airport. The OBA turned that no money situation around, so you should thank them for that.

Am glad you recognize that the Americas Cup was an incredible success for Bermuda. It’s a shame that the PLP created spin and used it as a political jab, we could have had all those mega-yachts and their money visiting and generating money in Bermuda’s economy. We may have had Southampton Princess bought by one of those people and it not turned into a Condo Park if we as an island hadn’t had the PLP drag them through the politcal mud.

if you are talking about 300K not 300M, then those were private donations and not taxpayers money and at the time ethical action was taken and someone resigned for not following proper procedure.
