In your Isle of Man Examiner we have two stories about government expenditure on page one.

The first is about a scheme to rebuild bridges on the old railway line between St John’s and Ramsey. If the project is ditched – as has been mooted – it will mean a lot of work and money will be lost.

The second is about a discount card that was meant to boost the Manx economy but has turned out to be a flop.
