There is a simple answer to all of this...
"No measure regarding Councillor remuneration can be put to a vote or decided upon outside of one calender month prior to an Election and cannot be implemented until ratified by the Electors* at said Election."
*Via a referendum question added to the Ballot Paper.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

At work if I need to claim back for fuel used for busines use i get 15 per mile and I reckon that is about what it costs me so that is fair enough. This money they are claiming is from home to work and I can't see why they even get that the rest of us don't! And that is why they should already have been paying tax on it. If its business use you don't pay tax on it, this isn't this is a perk so taxable! the fact is they have been getting away with out paying tax that they should have done. At the rate they are already getting they if they pay tax on it they would still make a profit! Why should the public pay for there taxable perk!

Some interesting comments just after the article, maybe this subject should also come under the Elite Greedy Pigs thread.
Councillors travel paid for by us tax payers is about as justified as the proposed payrise for our poor poverty ridden MPs.
