Concern reform agenda not included in budget
East Douglas MHK Chris Robertshaw has slammed the lack of moves within the budget to improve government efficiency.
However, he praised Treasury Minister Alfred Cannan for trying to ease the pressure on household incomes with a series of announcements such as a record increase in personal allowances.
But he says the lack of government reform smacked of protecting its own structure with a forecast rather than a plan:

Tom and Jessica got married on 13 June
Energy and Sustainability Centre says 'great need' for renewable energy on Island
Director Ralph Peake says schemes must be able to stand on their 'own merit'
Torden Stores announces it's closing down
