Consider this:
Government paid $500,000 so that Mets fan Ewart Brown could throw out the first pitch at 2 NY Mets games ostensibly as a tourism promotion.
Yet, on the eve of Bermuda's year long celebration of our 400th anniversary this same Government and Tourism Minister couldn't find it in the bloated billion dollar budget to donate a penny to restore the Deliverance replica - a 40 year old tourist attraction and culturally significant landmark.
$500,000 for a luxury box. Nothing for a historic landmark and tourism attraction.
Kudos to the Bank of Bermuda foundation for stepping in at the last minute and donating the $300,000 to save this historic landmark.
Shame on the Bermuda Government.
