SO THE independent panel which sets councillors pay rates have now proposed that some cabinet members should have their salaries reduced because they do less work, and as you can imagine those affected councillors are resisting this move.

One councillor, who didn't have the courage to even give his or her name, stated that taking a pay cut is a step too far. Oh really these same councillors seem to think it's ok to close libraries and put staff out of work and replace them with slave labour volunteers and it's ok to pay their employees the minimum wage, yet when it comes to themselves losing a couple of shillings they give you a load of rubbish.

Even with a pay cut these same councillors will still receive a very generous salary.

I think the whole cabinet system should be abolished.

Doesn't it just go to show that councillors are in it for themselves and don't care a hoot about anyone else.

This panel should with immediate effect cut the salaries. These councillors are very quick to take a pay rise but when it comes to taking a cut they show how greedy they really are, get rid of the lot of them.
