I wouldn't hold your breath over the budget, the Labour group didn't even propose one, the independents did though.

50% wage rises. I have got an accurate figure on mine from 2000-2008. 23.4% About 8% more than inflation or a 1% rise over inflation each year because the ecomomy has been doing so well
BUDGET - You seem to be mixing things up and got confused about what went on.
1) Our budget was 2% by putting less away. There is £1.8million in the bank, well over the 5% required (£15m=750k). So why tax people for nothing? Our borrowing rates now are low. Rainy day = money out of people's pockets and I never thought I would hear Tories say that. Or that they suggest we subsidise nationalised industries.
2) It is not necessary, nor more importantly prudent to vote through a wish list on the night. Tories have the Council's full time officers 5 days a week doing theirs. We don't and I want our policies to be discussed by members of others parties and improved where a better idea exists. Voting through opposition policies on the night is yesterday's politics.
