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:
Passport applications moving online
Danadara loses landmark tax appeal
King Orry statue lights 'acceptable' to bats
Commissioner will not investigate legal aid complaint
