There is a God! RCT Councillors and Pay Cuts.

This report came before full council in September and was rejected by the Labour Group when they had the power to adopt it there and then thus setting an example to the other Authorities in Wales and also joining those that they had already cut in pay and conditions.

Despite loud opposition (I understand Mike Powell had to actually leave the chamber under threat of being thrown out) they bounced this off to the WLGA when they could have and should have adopted it.

One of the other recommendations made was that poor old Russell Roberts, our impoverished council leader, becomes a full time leader and that he should drop his other financially lucrative jobs to concentrate on RCT alone. But that's not all. The report also says that he must take a pay cut of about £6,000 per annum down to a mere £52,000(ish). How will he manage?

The irony is making my day.

Merry Xmas Russell.

Graeme.
