Perks

April 29th, 2009 · No Comments · Accountability, Transport

The radio news reports this morning that the “official car” assigned to Minister Cox (who does not drive) has allegedly had its GP license plates swapped for less visible normal plates and is being used as a personal/household car by a senior politician.

Nice perk if you can get it.  Who makes the decisions on such use of Government property?

In this time, when most Bermudians are tightening their belts, alleged perks like this for our elected representatives seem to be “milking the system” for all it’s worth.  A reader calls this the “deep pockets, short arms” syndrome.

Moreover, if this is true, Government has little leg to stand on when it lectures Bermudians who register second cars to apartments they own.
