More Distraction

Martin is still concerned over Chief Executive's pay.  I haven't looked at his payslips, but it will be a tiny fraction of 1% of Brent Council's budget.  The important thing is not to fall into the trap of focusing on minor issues, but to follow the approach of Willie Sutton, who famously robbed banks because "that is where the money is."  The question is how can the massive cut in central government grant be accomodated in a balanced budget that minimises dameage to public services?
