Jarion Richardson’s statement reinforces the clear choice that Bermudians will face on
February 18th.
Our people will choose between: a PLP that fought for our seniors and an OBA that ignored their struggles told them that money doesn’t grow on trees.
A PLP that fought to keep health insurance premiums down and an OBA that fought
against easing the healthcare burdens of our people.
A PLP that fought against Pathways to Status and an OBA that still wants to open the
immigration floodgates Today, we talked about how the financial struggles of our people inspired us to slash taxes so that 86% of Bermudians would get some relief from the cost of living. All while making taxes fairer by shifting the burden to the wealthy and away from those struggling the most.
Today, we talked about how we introduced the minimum wage so all workers can earn a
fair wage. We talked about how we expanded the Child DayCare Allowance to allow over 100 more
parents to get access to quality care for their children We talked about how we reduced energy taxes 60% which held the line on electricity costs.
We talked about how the PLP eliminated customs duties on essential goods to ease the
inflation squeeze. We talked about how the PLP invested record amounts in affordable housing, completing 71 units. And, we talked about how our mortgage guarantee programme helped nearly 40 first time Bermudian homebuyers.
Jarion, and the OBA chose to ignore our message because at their core they are fighting
for the elite, the privileged and the wealthy while we are fighting for a fairer Bermuda for all
of us.
