Governor's Office looking to procure new $80K Lexus
This is according to the 2020 report on the deliberations of the Standing Finance Committee (SFC) released on Thursday, December 19, 2019, which noted that the proposed procurement is one of two new initiatives under the Office of the Governor.
Range Rover giving problems - Ag. ExPrivSec
According to the report, the Acting Executive Private Secretary (Ag. ExPrivSec) Mrs Nolma Chalwell, "requested to have the 2011 Range Rover replaced given the vehicle’s age and the expensive cost to maintain the vehicle."
The report continues by saying that with locally sourced quotations, "the office is looking at 2019 Lexus priced at $80,000.00 and a 2019 Audi priced at $66,000.00."
It is unclear which auto dealer will supply the vehicles if and when the request is approved; however, the 2019 Lexus is listed as a high-end luxury vehicle from the premium Japanese car brand.
Renovation of Gov't House Museum
The second initiative was for $13,500.00 to purchase event supplies when hosting events in the Governor’s Reception Hall.
The office also has plans to renovate the old Government House Museum, with donations made towards the repairs and some $180,000.00 in funds raised to date.
They hope to have the museum open by the end of January 2020.

What is the problem driving in an ordinary car for less than half that cost?
I don't mind the Premier and the Governor having decent rides equal to their position. The rest of them... Why?
So whats the point in changing to this very expensive vehicle. Buy something that is reasonable and affordable in the long run.
What will happen to the old vehicle? Will it be auctioned to recover some of the cost of the new vehicle?
Stick to jeeps.
