He isn't, he has merely put forward a suggestive future framework if the time ever comes to hit the panic button in order for East Lancashire to survive. Bear in mind that the possibility exists that at some point district Councils could come to an end and we would all end up under the wing of LCC entirely.
Just remember we are in election season, with a certain Accrington Observer star columnist defending his County Council seat so things will be very lively over the next six weeks and the slightest little thing will be an 'outrage' in order to ramp up a story. Last year I found myself on the front page twice over 'resident anger' (or some other sensationalist sabre-rattling) in stories which were at best off-the-cuff quotes taken wildly out of context.
I have said it before but just take media reports with a pinch of salt, they are rarely verbatim accounts.
