.... funny that. We'd like to know your principles as well. The one's that are receiving the payments and contracts. After all isn't that what FOI/PATI is all about?

Furthermore, I have a question. Why does the PLP government do business with companies that obviously have not got a clue as to how to bring a construction project in on budget? Are these people all just really bad business people?

The BHC scandal.
The Berkley School fiasco.
The Port Royal Golf Course trap.
The Dockyard blunders.
The New Court House shenanigans.
Amongst others....

All projects that have/are coming in well over budget. Not by 10% more to the 100% end. We all know the cement company is charging more money for cement but back when fuel was high it was somewhat understandable. How about now? Gouging? Skimming? Who's approving these cost over-runs and are they legitimate?

The more we read about what is going on down in TCI the more we see how easy it is to "divert" cash from government projects to friends and families. And that's not including the kick-backs from vendors. Seeing as the world is watching us so closely today is it not better to just shoot and aim later? Get a copy of the Cayman's FOI and just go with it for the time being. Or do you still need time to get your trusts in order?

I can't see the word 'Retroactive' being used but hey......

There's a lot going on at this time and many pro PLP are very quiet especially the Chap/Furb tag team.

Then again, they are probabley out looking for donations for the Premiers Secretary. This reminds me of Richard Nixon...."I am not a crook"....just reminds me ok...don't get bent out of shape just yet.

Gotta run...suck some more of that coral reef and artifacts from the North side at the Long Arm.......

Rumour has it Bermuda College is now offering free classes to friends and family in how to set up blind trusts. You graduate with a CMA (Cover My Ass).

Aser your last sentence in the post....No it's not fraud because the Premier did'nt approve it. Illegal? Unethical?

Balls in Ewarts court, where someday he may find himself and others and queried about a 'racket'.

It's all about ching ching Grats. Imagine how long Mid Ocean Golf Course has been used. Of course there has been work done on the Club House over a period since I was a child. Done in steps as has been the upkeep of the course itself.

The 18 holes have never been shut down. It has been managed by professionals for so long and when needed a hole has been regraded and seeded etc.

I know that it is private but I also know that Port Royal (Royal..right..) is under the hands of Government, so what a nice way to 'pay to play' out of Government funds which WE pay for.

It's a freekin joke and when it comes back to bite some ( the tax payers) down the road or fairway, Golden Eye will seem like a shack somewhere over the rainbow.......................

Of course I stand to be corrected on the full closure of MOC for such an extended period of tyme..........

Yes but Ewart and his buddies are playing a spashul 8 hole tournament at PRGC tomorrow.

President Brown has arranged a "private" little eight hole tournament for himself and 'select' friends tomorrow (only 8 holes are even close enough to being finished).  The idea was to get out and play on the course so that he could then stand up and say "See, it was finished on time!  We said January and we got it done in January."  Mere peons and plebes won't be able to play until August though.  And would have been on budget too if those bye's hadn't messed up planting the grass.  Funny how they only got the holes visible from public roads done.  Outa sight, outa mind.  Good thing Zane and his byes are putting in all that extra overtime for the next few months to get the other 11 holes ready.

Thanks Cowpolly. And thanks for the time to post it and do some research.
