Nothing like voting against something so you can criticise the leader in the paper for 'not taking up any additional roles so why would he need more money' then taking extra money yourself. I don't suppose Jones will apologise for this hypocrisy.  |
You just can't resist you're personal attacks can you! It shows how much the truth is getting to you that you personally have to go after me instead of telling people what YOU The Conservatives are doing positively.
Let's get the facts right again.
1. Tories bring massive allowance increases to Council every year. Labour never have. Priorities.
2. In general Labour vote against - The Tories with a majority win and allowances go up. Everyone collects the new allowance including independents.
3. Tories remove one extra allowance limit. Labour vote against and loose. Both the above in general go against what the Independent (far away) Renumeration panel advises.
4. Labour vote FOR (as a one off) a SMALL allowance for Planning £750. Councillor Jones declines putting himself on the Planning Committee for the next two years - too busy elsewhere
5 Tories milk second and further allowances by kicking Labour of Vice chairs and increasing the allowances for Vice Chairs to £5000 (from £1700). As well as Chairs and other important positions at £6000 to £9000.
6 The Tories make 5 Labour Councillors sit on Planning (normally 3) and Councillor Jones is FORCED to fill (as we have been losing Councillors at elections). £750 per year allowance is taken as 2nd allowance.
Andrew - don't try and paint me as something I am not. You're proving you're an obnoxious little twerp because you get everything wrong, use mis informartion to slur good people for party political gain.
