Our new goverment is pulling all the stops in order to control it’s expenses. As very often occurs, the small ones are paying the heaviest price. Admitting that many enterprises have had tax credits cuts, they will survive. Cutting help to community organisations is another matter since they service the most destitute among us. When you operate on a shoestring budget, shortening the string can be fatal to the organisation and the people it helps.
But then, comfortably seated in the National Assembly and it’s committee rooms, that is so far away; you don’t even see outside.
