The post you are reporting:
Local Government needs to be economically more self sufficient, with a higher proportion of local tax going to Councils and less tax going to Central Gov.
Have been saying this for years, and eventually it will come about.
It's one important factor in getting the economy on a sound basis, and putting an end to Osborne's insane Austerity, and to any future austerity.
Currently our lives and our economy are dictated to by a Cabinet, including a failed Chancellor.
We can call it the Dictatorship of Austerity, where one failed politician has immense power over the economy, and compels us into an Ice Age of bankruptcy and sheer do-nothing-other-than-sit-around-and-and twiddle-your-thumbs, or:
run around in mad circles to pay your mortgage, rent, or payday loan, till you collapse on the heap and give up.
City bankers and the rich excluded, of-course.
