Premier Paula Cox set out on foot with an entourage today for an impromptu walkabout IN Hamilton to “fly the flag for Bermuda and Bermuda's retail industry”.But right from the outset at her first stop it was clear retailers had no qualms with making their views known.General Manager at the Bermuda Bistro at the Beach David Madeiros said it's one thing to take the information they get on the streets but doing something with it is an entirely different matter.When asked by The Royal Gazette if he felt it was mere politicking he said: “I told her things are very slow and that we're trying to get by - we don't want to let anybody go, we don't want to look at those options. What we want is more viable options. She told me she understands that and that she is trying to help.”Premier Cox, who purchased a few items at Luxury For Less, said: “I'm impressed when you see entrepreneurs increasing and expanding their businesses.”Ms Cox noted that she would also be going to the Economic Empowerment Zone in North Hamilton as well. “This is one of the few days I'm not all booked up with meetings. When asked if the walkabout was politicking she said: “I think that I'm a politician, but most important, I think what it is right now is showing confidence in buying locally and that's what I'm doing.”Other stops included Luxury for Less, Juice and Beans, the Coliseum and the Edge.
