Other approaches should be considered says Hooper
An MHK who voted against last week's budget has responded to criticism from ministers.
Lawrie Hooper was one of four to stand in opposition to Alf Cannan's latest financial plans, which he branded 'disappointing' and packed with 'real terms cuts'.
The Ramsey member was dismissed from his role in Treasury's SAVE team as a result.
Ministers have hit out at members who opposed the budget, with Alf Cannan retorting that there is 'no magic money tree'.
Mr Hooper says that isn't the point:
Garff Commissioners hosting offshore windfarm drop in session today
No harbour basin work planned in Laxey this summer
Public invited to suggest new brownfield site for potential re-development
Anthony Allen re-elected as chair at Onchan Commissioners
Police urge public to check person's identification if claiming to be a police officer
