Where was the concern when....
April 29, 2014
Dear Sir,
I am very impressed by the support for the people’s concern for equality and justice. I just wish this same concern and support was shown when:
A Humans were smuggled into Bermuda.
B When government contracts were not fairly bid on.
C When our debt skyrocketed.
D When unemployment rose greatly.
E When gang violence flourished.
F When we had qualified audits of taxpayers monies.
G When our roads looked third world.
H When married to a foreigner prevented you buying another property without a license.
I When leases of our land were given out without our approval or consultation.
J When you were discriminated against because of your sexual orientation.
K When Financial Assistance was having their funding reduced.
L When the St George Golf Course and Club were knocked down.
M When trailer dump trucks were unfairly allowed to compete against small truckers.
N When mini- buses were unfairly allowed to compete against taxi owner/drivers.
O When The Hospital Board executives were paid exorbitantly.
P When healthcare costs soared, so we now have to pay huge insurance premiums.
Q When overtime was taken away from blue collar workers.
R When public transportation was cancelled to defend a pilot under the influence.
S When we paid Beyonce $1 million for two hours work.
T When ratepayers in the City of Hamilton were denied the vote.
U When tourism was declining year over year.
V The cost of the Heritage Wharf went through the roof!
Q When the unnecessary Grand Atlantic was built.
R When payroll tax was increased.
S When the sweetheart deal was given to The Coco Reef.
T When the government started to charge you to dump your trash.
U When the Salvation Army had their government funding reduced.
V When The Sunshine League had their funding reduced.
W When the MPs gave themselves a huge pay increase.
X When the making of the statue at The Dame Lois Building was given to a foreigner.
Y When the cement silo contract was unfairly taken away and given to a friend of the government.
Z When Global Hue was given money for work not carried out.
Mr Editor, I have run out of letters of the alphabet, therefore I cannot carry on. Maybe more concern could have been given then, and we would not be in the mess we are in.
All the best!
