At a public meeting on Wednesday night to discuss the recent updates to the Medium Term Financial Plan, Reform Jersey urged Islanders to fight against a raft of proposed cuts.
If the Medium Term Financial Plan Addition, which was published last week and updated last year’s financial plans, is approved in the autumn, Islanders on the 20 per cent maximum tax rate would pay an additional 0.5 per cent health charge on their income from 2018, increasing to one per cent the next year.
Other plans include cutting the starting salary for newly qualified teachers to £25,500 and outsourcing 50 cleaners’ jobs within the Education Department.
