Over at the PLP blog, they are huffing the paint thinner again:
Help Save Bermuda’s City from hundreds of years of cronyism – Say yes to Government’s Municipal reform. Emancipation Day is almost upon us. Help Government erase the final vestiges of pre-emancipation Bermuda.
A kind reader has supplied the Municipalities Reform Act 2010 law, which … as usual … Government has not made readily available to the public. Information is power, and they seem to want to retain both for the insiders. Or cronies as the case may be.
I find the audit requirement of the law to be a hoot. It’s an admission that Government has no idea what the Corporation owns or does. They are not looking for accountability … they are looking for help at figuring out what it takes to run a city. The C of H is already audited; the documents are here. Unlike Government, it’s a clean audit.
In my opinion, this is not reform, it is a mugging. It’s not emancipation, it’s a consolidation of power.
This chaotic draft law should be shelved. The my$teriou$ consultant report should be made public. A proper public consultation on reform should be started.
