Now that he’s been made King, the power plays begin in earnest.
The Corporations of Hamilton and St George have been informed that Government intends to try and take them over.
“In its Throne Speech of 2008, the Government of Bermuda undertook to reform Bermuda’s municipalities; in considering the best means to do so, Cabinet determined that the most practical, efficient and effective reform would be to repeal the Municipalities Act 1923 and transition the operations of the municipalities into the relevant government departments.”
While I do believe that the Corporations would benefit from reform, I strongly question the Bermuda Government’s desire and capability to conduct reform.
Lacking any justification for this move from Government, nor the goals that they hope to achieve, one can only assume that this is a power grab (as well as a move to increase the Government tax base).
Do you trust giving Dr. Brown even more power in Bermuda?
