| Robin I'm not sure how involved you are in local government or local politics, but I will assume your involvement is not great, because if you were very involved, you wouldn't make the statement that you made when you said, "why didn't your administration simply levy a lower council tax for the financial year, thus avoiding the expense or returning money". How would you do that. You have to cut it or increase it by a fixed % for every band. Tell me how you wold do this SIMPLY, as you said it would be. Please explain. Anyways, I'm fairly sure we were told it would be illegal to use the windfall to cut council tax, but not illegal to return the money to it's tightful owners, the council taxpayers, remember them? Had we cut council tax, you would have accused us of bribing the electorate anyways, so whatever we did could be interpreted as a bribe. The timing had more to do with the council receiving a windfall when it did, coupled with an underspend in that year too, than it did with the fact that there was an election the following year. I don't expect the cycnics to believe that, but that is what happened. We had to make a decision then, in that fiscal year, because that's when the underspend occured and that's when we received the windfall. You and others seem to be suggesting that Labour only agreed to it because they were afraid of what we would say in our leaflets, in other words you think they lied to the electorate because they never believed it was a good idea in the first place, but didn't have the courage to say so. So they won their election with a lie. Are you saying this Robin You have made no attempt to answer the point I made. Why, when the council didn't spend all the money it had said it would spend in that fisacl year, why shouldn't the council taxpayers be given the money that's leftover (plus the windfall)at a time when they were probably struggling. Why do you ignore their struggles Robin. |
