“I'm not very happy about driving to work, it isn't very pleasant at all. It's a 45 minute journey with lots of traffic and I would prefer to be on the ferry. Our main gripe remains that we are being expected to pay more than those in the west end. It's a 100 percent increase at a time when everyone is struggling. It's sad it's come to this … one minute we are being encouraged to use public transport, then it seems we are being discouraged” Debra Saltus, one of many commuters who decided not to ride the Warwick-Paget ferry following a Government decision to double the fares.“I can say that he was a very well-rounded individual who was a credit to the sport of cricket. I didn't know him well as a person, but as a player he was worthy of confidence, not just as part of his local team, but possibly going on to be part of the nucleus of the national team. This is very untimely and sad news, and my heart goes out to his family. I hope that they are comforted during their bereavement” Sport Minister Glenn Blakeney on cricketer-footballer Landro Minors who lost his life in a road crash.“It's just really discouraging that a Minister's company isn't required to follow the letter of the law. Almost as [Mr Roban] was walking out the door, he approved this plan allowing the company to expand their facilities. This violates the spirit and letter of the Bermuda Plan, and it violates zoning regulations for agricultural land, for a nature reserve and for a water resources area” Bermuda Environmental Sustainability Taskforce (BEST) chairman Stuart Hayward on former Environment Minister Walter Roban's decision to give approval to a fellow Minister, for a plan that would allow construction to encroach on the endangered wetlands of Devonshire Marsh“It's not making the decisions I regret. It's the negativity that has pervaded around the decisions themselves. I, as a Minister, was seeking to conclude all matters in front of me. Those were decisions that were outstanding and that I had carefully considered over a number of weeks or months. There was no intention to ingratiate or enrich anyone that was special in any manner. The fact that those matters related to two persons within Cabinet was not anything that factored into how I made the decisions. I carefully considered them because I was aware of the relationships. I wanted to make sure they were done according to the law” Backbencher Walter Roban elaborating on his resignation as a Cabinet Minister following the controversy over his decision to uphold Planning appeals by his political colleagues.“It's not really outright and appears to be less blatant than other places around the world, but it's happening, the prostitutes are there. You just don't expect to come into town and see prostitutes doing their thing. This is a busy area and there are always people about. It's wrong” Senator Michael Dunkley speaking out against prostitution on Front Street.
