		<description><![CDATA[I completely agree with Sen Fubler on this.  The focus on Bermuda keeping a declining middle class is tourism,  The Elbow project, Southampton Princess projects is essential.  We really need to thank the Greene Family, owner of the Hamilton Princess for having confidence in Bermuda, upgrading its Hotel and expanding, especially during the Covid time.

I am sure that the Government will prioritize the following to support the new confidenece in Bermuda:

1. Repair to roads 
2. Trash pick up from once a week back to twice (remember a “cleaner Bermuda for tourism”
3. Expand and clean up the parks (Botanical Gardens etc looks aweful), believe it or not tourists like more than just beaches.
4. Upkeep the schools that have closed.  Paint, mow grass.  (As a Bermudian, now living in Miami, I was a little saddened to see the state of some of these structures and property.
5. Security : set up incentives to join the Bermuda Regiment, ie better finance deals for a home, higher education, trade schools.  I prefer my tax money go to people that have provided “public service” than those that take a 2 hour test and awarded a 4 year scholarship.
