Simmons: PLP stands strong for Bermudians every year

TUESDAY, OCT. 2: “The opposition seems to have a problem that this government is standing strong for Bermudians during the midst of a global economic crisis.

“The fact that we’re standing strong for our people is nothing new. The fact is, we passed FutureCare – a landmark reform that has provided our seniors with affordable doctor’s visits and prescriptions after a lifetime of hard work years before any election was due.

“The same with DayCare. This programme which helps working families with the childcare they need was also passed years before an election is due.

“The EEZ was expanded to help small Bermudian owned businesses was also expanded not during an election season.

“We will not relent or back down from delivering results just because it is an election season. We have and we will continue to standing strong for Bermudians whether an election is around the corner or not!”
