Budget success

It's good to see that Tavish Scott has driven a hard bargain with the SNP on the Scottish budget.

Successes include action to fund the building of schools, the Scottish Government's involvement in the Calman Commission, planning for future tax cuts and a refocussing of the Scottish Government onto economic recovery. We might even see a resolution to the dispute over the funding of the new Forth Crossing.

Tavish has shown effective leadership and good judgement.
