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:
Red Arrows to return to Douglas Bay
Unite to recommend bus drivers accept latest offer from DOI
Plans submitted for temporary base for Douglas RNLI
Temporary parking on Summerland site refused
