The Standard reports today that
"City Hall politicians should be banned from boosting their pay by doubling up as local councillors"This, they say, is a recommendation from an independent review by The Senior Salaries Review Body. Brian 'Mr Toad' Coleman's excesses are singled out for criticism in their report, as the Standard notes:
"The £25,613 allowance received by Brian Coleman as Tory fire authority chairman — he earns £88,997 in total — was about £6,300 too high andshould be frozen, the report added."Well done indeed to the The Senior Salaries Review Body. However, I do recommend a closer inspection as you will find, I think, that
Coleman's snout is way deeper in the trough than you realised.
