You gave the OBAubpers high marks. The party is nothing but a bunch of token surrogates at the front that got selected for a white base established party.

In that case why is it such a threat to the PLP? Clearly having nothing positive to show how the PLP has benefitted Bermudians since 1998, except create a massive debt for their children and grandchildren (expats won’t be around to pay), the only recourse is to attack the OBA (and UBP). Clearly it proves the old Jamaican adage – we don’t care being stolen from as long as it’s not white. The PLP has aced that one.

I’m not worried but thank you for proving my point. 30-6 and the PLP continues to focus on the almost non existent OBA.

I’d add to that Grand Atlantic, $100m+ wasted so far, if not more.
Was “finished” in 2011, and has still never been lived in. 13 years. That’s despite Weeks boasting in 2011 he had “100 buyers lined up”.

So, Senator…..

Berkley School building – $60+ million over budget
Port Royal renovation – $20 Million over budget
LBE Building – $20 + million over budget
Hospital over budget to build and $10-$15 MILLION ANNUALLY over budget

Greed, corruption or just plain incompetence?

Lol taking on the forces of greed. Greedy is the perfect word to describe the PLP ministers. They have all profited since taking power, and the people in Bermuda paid and voted for it.

PLP are desperate to make the OBA look like the bogeyman. It’s all the PLP have got and why Bermuda under their watch has turned into a potholed, debt ridden mess. The OBA when they came in turned the dire situation things around and this PLP has benefitted from all that hard work of the OBA, yet they failed to add to, failed to leverage, or continue it. They need to go. This isn’t OBA v PLP this is Bermuda v PLP.

The number of op eds berating the OBA shows that the PLP are running scared. They have nothing to show for their 25 years being Government, but blame everything on the OBA. Pitiful. Interesting that elsewhere Ewart Brown is boasting that 10,000 black Bermudians have emigrated. Odd that no one in the PLP/Government has that information, or at least will tell the public. So the population must be down to around 54,000, not 64,000 that the PLP/Government throw around in the stats. No wonder the cost of everything is so high as less people equals more cost for those remaining.
By the way, why are taxpayers paying for a glossy pamphlet listing some measures that the PLP have taken but promoting them as Government successes? Taxpayer funded election nonsense.
