Bernie Bush scandal pushed CO to resign early
(CNS): Michael Ebanks, the acting chief officer in the Ministry of Home Affairs, has resigned from the civil service over the Bush scandal, and Julian Lewis, one of the two deputy COs in the ministry, is now acting in the post until the top job is filled, officials have confirmed. The news of Ebanks’ resignation follows the announcement that the premier had taken Home Affairs from Minister Bernie Bush’s portfolio and suspended him from office for two weeks over allegations that he interfered in staffing issues at the fire service.
Deputy Governor Franz Manderson said that while Ebanks, who had been acting CO for around two years, had tendered his resignation before this situation arose, it had pushed the senior civil servant to leave early.
“In January of this year, Mr Ebanks advised me that he intended to leave CIG to relocate with his family overseas,” the DG said. But last week Ebanks wrote to Manderson asking to be relieved of the responsibilities of that job. “He also advised that he wished to move forward the date of his resignation to 6 May,” he added.
“Mr Ebanks set out clear reasons for his decision which merited the attention of the Premier who then took action. Mr Ebanks is currently on vacation leave,” Manderson said, adding that Lewis has now been appointed to act as chief officer. “I will make a decision on who will take over from Mr Ebanks in the long term and will make an announcement at that time. I thank Mr Ebanks for his excellent service. He is an outstanding Caymanian who has been a role model to many.”
When asked by CNS on Monday, the DG denied speculation that Eric Bush, the chief officer at the Ministry of Investment, Innovation and Social Development, had been earmarked to take up this key post.
Eric Bush is currently embroiled in a civil service investigation into his alleged role in the mismanagement of public funds right before the elections at former premier Alden McLaughlin’s Ministry of International Trade, Investment, Aviation and Maritime Affairs (MITIAMA). The controversy relates to the creation of the proposed overseas offices and an international trade show in Dubai.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday evening Manderson and Governor Martyn Roper issued a release saying they supported Premier Wayne Panton’s moves to sanction Minister Bush over accusations that he had breached both the Constitution and the Ministerial Code of Conduct.
Roper said he understood Panton’s reasons for taking such measures. “It is crucial to the good functioning of our democracy that ministers respect the constitutional boundaries and separation of powers,” he said, adding that public service appointments and civil service issues are the governor’s responsibility, a power that is largely delegated to the deputy governor as head of the civil service.
“Our good governance rests on full observance of our Constitution and I urge all elected representatives to fully respect the separation of powers,” Roper said.
“Ministers who use their position to influence which individual is selected for public service roles would be infringing on the Constitution and represents political interference. Ministers have a responsibility to act with integrity and to uphold the highest standards of behaviour towards everyone in our community, in particular, our civil servants with whom they work closely.”
Roper added that the civil service would continue to do its utmost to implement ministers’ objectives and policies.
Manderson said he was responsible for ensuring all staff feel respected and valued in the workplace. “I take these responsibilities seriously and when concerns are brought to my attention, as in this case, I will take action as set out in the Public Service Management Act,” he said.
“It is also my duty to ensure that the civil service remains apolitical. Now that action has been taken to address the serious concerns raised by civil servants, I will ensure that the civil service continues to serve the elected government and works to make the lives of those we serve better,” he added.

The guy was already leaving for personal reasons and couldn’t perform the position remotely from outside of Cayman borders….why make this some part of this political scandal?
I suspect that Michael is too much of a gentleman to give his real reasons or leaving. Somehow I think that Bernie was not necessarily the only reason for his departure.
He’s leaving the island with his family for lifestyle change….nothing to do with Bernie.
Michael Ebanks was one of the few COs who actually did some work, responded to emails and didn’t have an attitude. Huge loss for our civil service.
Completely agree. Lovely man. Good worker.
He knew right from wrong and good from bad. It is a shame those traits were not consistently applied by some of those he reported to.
Mike is a man of unmovable straight character and high integrity. Kudos to him for not tolerating the behavior by the minister. Best of luck Mike ion your new journey.
Mhmmmm
Those qualities also applied to Joey at the port.
Hard work ethic and straight shooters don’t business in a UDP run organization.
OMG! We always lose the best! Look what the option is now!
13 @ 8:41 pm – Yes, Eric or Julian Lewis! What a mess!!
What hope is there when the Standards in Public Life Legislation was amended to remove the requirement to declare membership of the Lodge?
Needs to be amended further to reflect Lodge membership. There are going to be people running in the next election that will do it, if elected.
Lol. Those people never get elected
Lodge!?..what does a good fraternal organization have to do with it?
Quite frankly, this happens all the time. Tell me why any of the quality Brackers who were in succession for DDC job didn’t get it?
6:55 because they were not up to the task. Gone are the days when persons are promoted in the Civil service because of tenure. You should know that.
A highly qualified Caymanian got the job. Be proud.
Think you’re wrong here. There is a succession plan mandate…
Succession plan does not mean that if you warm the seat for thirty years, you get promoted…..as happened in the old days. You have to earn it.
The word “Quality ” says it all
I hope none of you ever say that you support Caymanians ever again.
Michael an outstanding Caymanian was pushed out of his job and all the bunch of you can do is try and tear down our DG whose actions recently helped save the life of a young Caymanian. Shame on all of you.
What have any of you done for Caymanians?
To Anonymous 8:02pm: Who do you mean by “the bunch of you”?
Whenever I see the “our DG” line I have to laugh. Thing is, many of us really do know “your DG”
From reading these comments one thing is clear to me. Not one of you actually know the DG or what he stands for.
Stop making up lies.
8:09, actions or lack thereof speak volumes; we don’t need to know him.
CNS: “like” and “dislike” tabs are not working. Is this too much traffic to your website?
CNS: There was too much accumulated data from the thumbs and it was affecting the backend of the site. I’ll see if I can get them back tomorrow, but all the previous data will have been dumped, sadly.
Thank you.
Its all very embarrassing for the people of cayman.
Voting people in you like is all well and good but not being able to do a job correctly always seems to be the problem.
Bernie bush was just an accident waiting to happen.
Eric bush oh boy not again.
Michael Ebanks? Poor man had to resign, he has very high standards. You all need to look and learn.
Sabrina? Well i have to go now.
Good luck Wayne
More embarrassment to come. Just scratching the surface. Wait for it. It’s coming.
Wayne won’t need luck. He’ll need a miracle. Peter principle.
Freemasons have been and still specialize in infiltration to position themselves to wield power and protect other Lodge brethren.
Lodge members should not be eligible to be senior civil servants, directors and executive management of SAGCs, or members of Parliament or Ministers in Cabinet or judges at any level.
The risk of espionage or treason (much less nepotism and undeserved favoritism) where Lodge members are privy to sensitive public sector information and then it is unclear where their loyalty lies. Obviously to their Lodge brethren, who have all made blood oaths to protect one another.
Absolutely agree with your comments. CUC, Flow and others blatantly wag OfReg’s tail thereby undermining their mission to fight fairly for the consumer. Panton’s recent statement about overhauling OfReg and seconding help from UK utility regulators is only good if the individuals helping are not Lodge members themselves.
Is there nothing Camamians can do to free themselves from control by the Lodge?
Make legal changes to the law, which stops a “shadow Lodge government” from having its hands on the steering wheel.
Yes, there is. A good start is to not re-elected Wayne or Alden ever again.
Clean house with RCIPS, which is nest of Lodge man. After then maybe Lodge man crimes would stop being protected.
CBC too.
Chucky Cheese needs to be excused from CBC.
Apparently not………… unless we let the queen run the leadership.
Don’t need direct rule. We need less Lodge interference.
It to clean house of Lodge infestation.
Thank you for the challenge. Challenge accepted. Wait for it. It’s coming.
Yes, Teach you to spell Caymanian.
Thank you. Good catch. Right on. They need to learn how to spell “Caymanians” before they can talk about Caymanians.
Attorney General and Deputy Governor positions should not be Lodge man neither.
3:34. Our DG is not in the lodge. Prove me wrong.
He is a piss poor leader and embarrassing the civil service prove us wrong!
No. I can’t prove you wrong on that.
6:39 the fact that you are alive today is proof of his leadership abilities.
When you were hiding under your bed from covid-19 the DG was leading us to become the leader in the battle against covid-19
You better thank Governor, Matthew Forbes and UK before you buy the nonsense about Franz or Alden saving us. It was the one time being an OT helped Cayman
So true, except I am still not sure about our Governor. Seems to play too cozy to whoever is in power. Not sold on Gov. Roper yet.
Taylor was the only Governor with the courage to stand up to bullying . He slapped down Mac , and saved Cayman from Chinese infestation planned by Mac’s behind closed doors Port deal.
Maybe not. Hope his replacement is not either.
Neither is the AG. The people commenting about the lodge should be focusing on the horrendous job PACT are doing. All but one (wayne panton) are not members, so go figure that they got elected by conning the cayman fools.
Wayne = Mason
Saunders = Mechanic
Alden = Mason
Moses = Mason
All Lodge man. Prove us wrong.
Stran and father mason lodge both on boards
Isaac is a member of the Mechanic Lodge
Exactly!!
Mechanic? Answer? Or scared to answer that one?
There are two types of lodge, Mason and Mechanic
Saunders
Ezzard. Suckoo and Isaac are Mechanics
Same deeds in disguise.
Nope one is genuine, the other is a wannabe of the real one.
What a bunch of jokers you are.
A Minister who raves about Caymanians first. Caused a Caymanian to leave his Post. The DG stands up for Caymanians and the Premier takes action. But somehow you all blame our DG for doing his job.
The jealously and the crab in the buckets mentality has to stop.
Our DG is a rock star. Leave him alone.
I really don’t want a rock star representing me in any way.
Our Deputy Governor decided there should be no investigation into Dr John Lee after he lied on the court case with Doctors Express. Does anyone know how much of our money had to be paid to Doctors Express? Wonder if he would have been so protective of a Caymanian? We need people in charge that will look after Caymanians.
A rock star? lol ok
Check the reputation of many of them rock stars and, yeah, Franz might just fit right in. Smh
Thank you DG and Premier. Shame on bumbling Bernie he should resign.
I am so proud of our civil servants.
Thank you Michael for your service.
Yes, thank you Premier and DG for absolutely nothing.
Snicker snicker.
We hear stories from the past where wearing a Masonic ring could get a judge to rule in favour of that person or acquit them of criminal charges. It’s uncertain this is still how it is, but many people still talk about it to these days.
It is not just the ring, they have distress signals as well.
I know. A drunk Mason explain one of them to me. Should me the little manual too.
Drunk Masons need to learn to shut their mouths. They have said too much already. Thought Freemasons were supposed to be secretive. Guess not. Only takes xxx amount of drinks before they’re singing like canaries.
The Lodge is destroying the Cayman Islands. Plain and simple. To much cover ups to protect Lodge man and their “associates”.
I whole heartedly agree!
Who are you pathetic lodge conspiracy theorists? Please tell me there is only one of you and you cannot reproduce.
There is an army of us. Get ready for it.
The real issue with their blood oaths is that they supercede national loyalty.
Some call this treason.
Lodge loyalty is above the law and geographic boundaries.
I do too!
I wonder if they are even sure which god they serve.
Seriously?
Can someone please explain the “Lodge” to me? Is this the Masons? A Cayman chapter? Does everyone know who the members are?
For males, Cayman has the English Freemasons Lodge, for both Jamaica and Cayman.
Their is also the Mechanics Lodge, which is a Order, but they stand together overall as “Lodge” brethren.
They have all taken blood oaths, which are to be faithful to their Lodge brethren, that transcends laws and national allegiance.
It is high time that the Public Service Commission is brought back for the integrity and transparency of Civil Service recruitment. Many of these fiascos, including those at the very top have occurred since the PSC was disbanded with the less than transparent hand picking process that now obtains, resulting in less experienced and qualified persons being appointed to senior posts. The policy used to be that one must be a head of department before being considered to be a Permanent Secretary. That is now out the window apparently. Leadership and management experience must not be exclusively obtained at the highest decision making levels, but acquired in departments in preparation for assuming more responsibility. Succession planning again must be planned.
Utter nonsense, 2:42. Oh, and by the way, the PSC had NOTHING to do with the appointment of Permanent Secretaries in those days. They were appointed entirely at the discretion of the Governor.
The scariest part of this situation is that Wayne is replacing Bernie with Sabrina, even as she remains in the mess of the health ministry she is in. This will not end well for our islands.
It was never going to end well with Wayne as Premier. Wimpier version of Alden.
Exactly, Wayne and Alden need to go.
Oh hell no, not Eric again!
Retire now DG you’ve lost the plot
Never sure he understood the plot to begin with.
Manderson you been there since 1802 time to go Bo-Bo.
It is not clear who the voters of the Cayman Islands can hold accountable for the clear leadership and management failures taking place across multiple government entities.
It does not appear that our politicians have the authority to address the issues so who exactly can voters hold accountable and what mechanism is in place to hold that individual accountable.
It appears that the Lodge needs to answer to these accountability questions. Lodge tentacles are all over CS and Parliament.
Get a life. I wonder how these stupid comments keep coming through. You sound like someone who is extremely bitter and has nothing better to do than complain about “the lodge”. I am a woman with no affiliation to the lodge.
The civil service is a mess fix that now as it is sinking the Caymans
12.34pm The type of Ministers they have to deal with are the problem. Michael is a brilliant generational Caymanian.
Civil Servants at the very top are the major problem and accountable to no one including the DG. Some have no qualifications and should not be in the position but the DG makes excuses for the nonsense. The civil service is the problem for successive elected governments and the demise of these islands.
Some ministers are a disaster that cannot be denied.
Most Chief Officers e.g. Eric Bush are worse and protected by Manderson and the lodge which is deadly for these islands. Chief Officers do not appear to be held accountable for anything look at Care Pay gate, Eric Gate, Planning disasters to name a few.
Lodge is threat to good governance, stability and undermines the rule of law.
Cut the lodge crap! Plenty criminals in church too and that doesnt make the churches bad.
Hate the sin, not the sinner.
Hate the Lodge man’s bad deeds, not the person.
How do you know?
Manderson is the problem. The man knows nothing about good governance and should not have been placed in that position. If he did, the favoritism and coverups would not be happening. He will go to any lengths to protect his cronies but will also try to destroy the brave ones who dare to stand up for what is right. His predecessor must live with much regret for misjudging and handpicking him to be placed in that post. What a disaster.
Where are the Caymans?
Are they closer to the Virgins or to the Channels?
It’s THE CAYMAN ISLANDS not the Caymans. Get it right! #soannoying
Why was Jon-Jon not removed from his post for interfering with the appointment of the Chief Officer in his previous ministry? Nepotism trumps law once again.
Jon Jon has the understanding of a child. Only MPs below him intellectually are Barbara Connolly and David Wight.
Amen. Barbara must go!
Amen.
3.28pm You are either a PACT supporter or don’t know the meaning of intellectual if you think Barbara or David are fools. How did you miss Jay, Kenneth, Bernie or
Julianna?
Connolly and Wight are intellectually inferior to Jon Jon.
What about the Auditor General’s investigation in the recent Eric Bush scandal? Why are they covering this up?
Eric Bush was wrong and broke laws just like Bernie Bush. Justice must be done and seen to be done.
Eric Bush signed the contracts and broke the law. He may have been instructed or allowed to do so but the accused and his accessory are CO Bush and DG Manderson. The buck stops at the top.
The key question is what did the Governor know and when did he sign off on the course of action that caused CO Bush to breach the laws stated in the Auditor General’s report?
That rabbit hole gets deeper by the minute.

“MI6 in Paradise”, your comments have substance and are very accurate analysis.
Your pseudonym is that of a clandestine operative, which is a bit concerning.
James Bond in the Cayman Islands? Are you one of those MI6 lawyers or bankers sent to destabilize the Cayman Islands?
Could be. MI5, MI6 and CIA have a presence in Cayman. Financial industry and law firms.
Too many of them around.
Keep your nose clean and fees paid and you’ll be fine.
Sound like your speaking from a personal position. Back at yah!
A for accountability. PACT is honoring their promise to be accountable for their actions.
The DG and his friends on the other hand, regurgitating world-class sounding terminology for which none of them knows how to apply.
Smoke and mirrors. It’s called misdirection. Magicians do it all the time.
PACT has not and still is not living up to its acronym. Talk about a PACT-branding backfire.
Need to live up to what PACT name says that they stand for, but it’s done the opposite.
PACT will be a one-term government. Elections will dismantle that. Fool me once……
Not when it comes to maceeva bush. Throw all the letters out when it comes to him. He’s the one holding this PACT clown car together.
The irony is that Mac is doing a great job a Speaker.
Mac is making the rest of them look bad by his good performance as Speaker.
Arguably, Mac is the top performing MP. I’m baffled. How on earth did that happen?
Go where? These people get into these cushy, do nothing high paying jobs for the rest of their working life and then get a great retirement package. None of them including the governor will ever just “leave”.
Wonder what their trying to give Eric Bush on his way out?
Should be a kick in the rear end.
Please retire now DG for love of country
To be replaced by who?
Wes, Eric or Cannover seem to be the likely choices.
What a mess.
Lawd help us if Wes or Eric get the top job. Cannover who, surely you don’t mean Cannover aka ‘Conniving-Over’ though.
Premier Wayne is holding Minister Bernie accountable.
Deputy Governor Franz is desperate to give Chief Officer Eric Bush a pass despite the findings in AG’s report.
Both broke sections of the relevant laws. Yet only the elected one is punished and the lodge man in a top position of the Civil Service is rewarded by the DG.
This is why the civil service is a joke and Franz and his lackeys need to go. Leadership has no standards nor shame.
Wayne is a freemason
Alden and Moses are Freemasons.
Stran is free mason ?
1. Ministers Code of Conduct looks like it actually works based on this decision. I am in shock but thankful.
2. Does Civil Servant management have any code to deal with breaches of laws or the Constitution for its staff? What are the consequences for breaking established rules, protocols?
3. Why is there one standard for elected government but seemingly no standards or accountability for senior civil servants?
4. When was the last time a senior civil servant was publicly held accountable for breaches of laws and policies?
5. What gives senior civil servants including Chief Officers, HOD’s and other Public Officials appointed to boards special status that makes them above the laws of Cayman?
These questions deserve answers if we are expected to take the rules seriously. Otherwise, it shows Cayman is all about who you know and the secrets you keep for others that must be protected at all costs.
That is how corruption works in a Banana Republic.

As head of an SAGC about 10-15 years ago, I directly experienced and witnessed Lodge control of that organization via the Board (at least 5 Lodge members including the Chair) and the Ministry (at least 2 Lodge members) and some of the management team. It was toxic to the organization and was intended to intimidate the administrative leadership of that organization. Sadly, I’m aware of at least two other SAGCs which were in the same position, for the same reasons. From following the news it seems like it’s even worse now.
Someone posted that the Lodge is full of “upstanding people” and “above board”!! NOT the Masonic Lodge I encountered. Corruption, influence-peddling and cover-ups prevailed, as did “pressure” on non-Lodge administrative personnel. A particular Lodge member/Board member’s company ALWAYS received ALL the consultancy awards, in a vast array of disciplines – I didn’t even know that company (an international accounting firm) had expertise in so many areas!!
One particular Chairman who is now deceased referred to them as his “associates” whenever he brought Lodge directed issues to the table. “My associates would like us to take this or that approach…” Whistleblowing got me early retirement!!
Fact – Lodge corruption and influence in Cayman’s public services is REAL, pervasive and grossly detrimental!! the Eric Bush decision is another example.
Jim Bodden’s legacy – tear down that pirate’s statue!!
How do you manage to blame everything wrong with CIG on one person who has been dead for 35 years? He didn’t even fire you 10-15 years ago because he’d been dead for two decades! What is really your axe to grind? Not saying Jim Bodden was perfect, but I see many, many far more culpable villains pulling the strings since! Stop misrepresenting your personal vendetta as gospel truth and national history.
1.33pm Jim Bodden introduced dirty politics to Cayman and we’ve never recovered. Wasn’t it McKeeva who nominated him for National hero?
Yes and yes.
Blaming Lodge more than Jim Bodden.
What hope is there when the Standards in Public Life Legislation was amended to remove the requirement to declare membership of the Lodge?
Simple. Hope of a further amendment to Standards in Public Life Act. Not rocket science.
It’s like blaming Dart for all the speeding in the ETH because Dart built the roads. Deflecting blame is a National pastime. Jim Bodden played dirty politics so all the dirty politics that followed over the past 35 years are his fault. Jamaicans and Trinis like to bump and whine, so all the lewd behavior at Batabani and Cay Mas is their fault. Caymanians are just victims of influences and actions from expats. In the case of Jim Bodden, it was the dirty politics he learned in the unions in Texas.
To commenters about Jim Bodden, that’s what the word “legacy” from the poster’s original comment means!
Yes, his Texas union-style politics has negatively impacted Cayman’s politics and public service for generations. I’d call that a legacy!
Yes, it was McKeeva who pushed him for “hero” (for what he did for tourism and development). Not my hero! Development? Jimbo was a real estate agent who sold most of the Seven Mile Beach for his own financial gain….a few others got rich in the process and the islands SOLD OUT! I’d call that a legacy.
But not a good one! Tear down the statue!
Sir John Cumber for National Hero!
How is Mr. Manderson so fixated on Bernie Bush who has been sanctioned by the Premier. However one of his Chief Officers Eric Bush is consistently caught up in scandals that prove he is not fit for purpose and cannot ever replace Manderson as Deputy Governor which has always been their plan?
Fact is, Franz has himself had proven incapable of filling that position. He should never have been appointed.
I hope that, when compared to the Erik Bush situation, Bernie understands how his “friend” Franz operates.
This quote, from the above article, attributed to Franz is the biggest joke:
“ Manderson said he was responsible for ensuring all staff feel respected and valued in the workplace. “I take these responsibilities seriously and when concerns are brought to my attention, as in this case, I will take action as set out in the Public Service Management Act,” he said.
“It is also my duty to ensure that the civil service remains apolitical. Now that action has been taken to address the serious concerns raised by civil servants, I will ensure that the civil service continues to serve the elected government and works to make the lives of those we serve better,” he added.”
All verbiage! We know that many civil servants, have felt disrespected by him and his cronies. This is the absolute worst that this organization has ever been! The bad management, backstabbing, intimidation and general corruption abounds. If a civil servant dares to take a stand against one of his favorites you can watch out! Simply put Franz needs to be replaced.
The man is a joke. Does he actually believe what he says. Ask anyone who has complained to him.
DG has become the root problem in the civil service and embarrassed himself repeatedly
Amen and amen 11:48 am. The man is indeed the root problem.
Spot on!
According to SAM MANEKSHAW:
A ‘Yes Man’ is a dangerous man. He is a menace. He will go very far. He can become a minister, a [permanent]secretary or a Field Marshall but he can never become a leader nor, ever be respected. He will be used by his superiors, disliked by his colleagues and despised by his subordinates. So discard the ‘ Yes man’.
Franz Manderson has officially become a joke every time he speaks about standards of any kind. His management of the CS is a legacy of failure and double standards. His protection and commitment to Eric Bush no matter the situation given a track record of expensive decisions and incompetence which has been highlighted in the Auditor General’s report begs even more questions. Manderson’s poor leadership given the lack of accountability and lack of transparency is demonstrated at the top end of the civil service by his hand picked management team. Nothing world class about the service or leadership provided to date by the DG given all the recent examples. The time for him go is now as he’s passed his sell by date.
Agree, however herein is the problem: While there have been misappropriations, misuses, lack of accountability and more, the DG still, somehow, makes the machine sorta function. Loyalty to him by employees at all levels should not be dismissed.
So, replaced by whom? Is there even anyone within the organisation that is more educated, or skilled or even insighful that would make an appropriate change? We demonstrate our dissatisfaction by criticising the individuals in stead of their office, and seeking their personal weaknesses for public display. These people (well, most of them) aren’t evil or criminal. They are cogs in a poorly-oiled system that tends toward entropy, instead of the renewal that we need.
This very generational difficulty is, in my opinion, reflective of most levels of government, right up to the top. Many of us so desperately want positive change that we end up asking for change that is often detrimental to all us little worker bees; the new system cost lots of money we don’t have to retrofit everything, new forms, new people, and years later, it often shines less brightly than that which it replaced.
The level of change that we need appears to be a complete and profound shift of our cultural paradigms.
Yeah, I don’t know what the hell that means either, but it sounds big enough for what we need.
Gloria Nixon
Wesley Howells
Are both competent, credible, educated, qualified, experienced candidates that are better candidates than DG’s favorite boy that he will defend to the death. Manderson has ruined his legacy with poor decisions and poor leadership. He only has himself and his minions to blame for his fall from grace as he condoned and protected them all.
The truth hurts but we got to blame somebody
The most accurate statement!
I have witnessed firsthand his appointment of completely incompetent personal friends to high positions. You can guess the end results. Staff under such poor leadership suffers and are powerless because things only get worse for them if they don’t suck it up and truck on. Who is protected in this scenario? Not DG friends sure enough.
