The founder of the Manx Taxpayers’ Alliance says government’s latest budget offers “the good, the bad and the ugly”. All but one Tynwald member backed the financial plan for the next 12 months. No tax rises were set out by Treasury Minister Alfred Cannan, while public sector pay rose by 1 per cent. Speaker of the House of Keys Juan Watterson was the only person to vote against the budget. Michael Josem appeared as a panellist at a Liberal Vannin Question Time event to discuss the Manx budget on Thursday (25 February) evening.
