Lib Dems to slash increases in council tax in Sheffield

[Longcol 607]

You seem to have a shakey grasp on simple economics Gazza. Are you a member of the Labour Party?

 

How are you proposing that the council refund money that they have already spent?

 

Do keep up Tony - Gazza is a Tory supporter as evidenced on many threads.

When the Lib Dems 'ran' the council a few years ago, council tax rises were somewhat higher.

 

2000/01 5.7%

 

2001/02 6.9%

 

2002/03 5.2%

 

maybe the mismanagement by labour had something to do with this

lets see if they keep their promises

council tax is a rip off any ways

[Ms Macbeth 76]

Lib dems would rather see it collected as a local income tax, but they would need to be in government to implement what is essentially a fairer way of charging.

[DList 10]

So, just to sum it all up: they've been elected by the people, are still gonna charge those people more to live here and aren't really going to be able to change anything.

 

And, from reading all the leaflets I got through the door, most of the campaign was based around grafitti and some school that's being closed. Is that really all we have to worry about?

 

Can someone please tell me what the point of the local elections is?
