In light of the recent public outrage, regarding the abuse of MPs' expenses in Westminster, with everyone now falling over themselves in apologetic contrition, with promises to be more sensitive to the public who provide those funds, can we look forward to a similar glasnost in local politics, and an end to ignoring the recommendations of an independent body regarding expenses, and an end to voting for expense limits increased by such a massive percentage increase?
