The outgoing head of the Jersey Consumer Council says the States of Jersey have their spending priorities wrong.
Advocate Rose Colley says she was disappointed the organisation has had its budget cut back by a fifth to £80,000.
The States of Jersey has been asked for a comment but has yet to respond.
Quote MessageWhat it will really effect is the amount of information we can put into people's homes through a newsletter. You can get it online but people say to us it isn't the same as physically getting the information through your front door. That will be the main effect of the budget cut.

Jersey's finance industry has won an important legal case against the UK government.
The Court of Appeal ruled that the island can be counted as a third country when it comes to moving money.
Jersey's Law Officers described it as a landmark ruling for Jersey.
The case is important because it means Jersey finance houses can continue to move money into and out of the island without having restrictions put on it by the UK.
The Attorney General argued that the island should count as a third country and therefore have independence when it came to financial movements. But, the UK government argued that it should count as an internal jurisdiction - and therefore be more controlled by Westminster.
At the Court of Appeal, Lady Justice Arden said that in her judgement the UK was obliged to treat Jersey as a third country. The Attorney General said that it was important for the island that the matter has been put beyond doubt.
