[quote quote=163974]I wrote to the Independent Remuneration Panel for Wales prior to their consultation report for 2019.
I pointed out that would it be possible to impose a reduction in the remuneration, by imposing a penalty clause of £200 or more, on each occasion a Councillor is absent from a scheduled meeting.
It is imperative that money is spent wisely, and not on somebody who has taken no part in the business they were elected to do.
The reply I received said:– The Panel have considered your views and have no comment to make. This is not within the Panel remit as it is not a remuneration issue.[/quote]
I always wondered what “considered your views” meant. It is possibly akin to “dismissed out of hand” or even “not read”.
I still think that Matt’s wag man could be the answer.
