After all, we can't exactly install 'playing meters' in them akin to carparks. <br /><br />After that, we need to look what else we can sell. County Hall could be converted into executive apartments for the rich and famous. After all, given the glorious view of the Towy, the quiet peace of country living and its proximity to Harrods and Harvey Nichs (via the soon to be installed heliport) Russian oligarchs and Hollywood superstars will be outbidding one another. We will have more money than we know what to do with. <br /><br />Alternatively, and back in the real world, we need to cap the salaries of the lunatics that run this asylum. I'm sure Caebrwyn will be able to put a figure on that for comparison purposes against real/genuine chief executives.<br /><br />Additionally, I understand heads of departments are all receiving in excess of £100k per annum too. That too should be capped inline with national averages, or better still, inline with Carmarthenshire or Welsh average salaries. If these people are so great at their roles and feel they deserve better let them go somewhere that will pay them accordingly. Only not here.<br /><br />So what are they going to do next year when all the cupboards are bare, there's nothing left to sell and the lunatics still want their extortionate remunerations? Yup, council taxes will be raised. Because after all, that will be the ONLY way they will be able to raise sufficient funds to cover the costs.<br /><br />The writing is on the wall. Action is required, and urgently, to bring an end to this nonsense. <br /><br />Councils are there to provide a service to residents. Its employees provide that service, but those in overall control view it as some kind of fiefdom where they can lord it over everyone they purportedly work for. <br /><br />The chief executioner saw the writing on the wall some time ago and has been seeking employment elsewhere. Thankfully, or unfortunately, depending how you view it, his applications were unsuccessful. Maybe Bath university saw through him too. But the fact he wants to leave is testament to the above in my opinion.<br /><br />Time for change. Only problem is how. <br /><br />They work for us, surely we must call for change.

This policy was probably planned entirely by Mark and Meryl but by approving it and, importantly implementing it Plaid will carry the can politically for it.<br />If Emlyn Dole gets retrospective planning permission for his wife's barns on Thursday Plaid's credibility will be completely destroyed!<br />There's surely a degree of entrapment in all this? No-one would put their necks into this noose unless fooled into it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
