At tonight's City Council meetings, I proposed that - rather than the City Council "consult" on just one proposed Council House rents increase - the staggering 4% SNP increase (staggering because RPI inflation is currently minus 0.8%) - the Council consults on two levels of increase - 3% and 4%, giving tenants a choice of increase, rather than an SNP fait accompli, which isn't really consultation at all.Labour's amendment fell flat on its face being ruled incompetent and in a vote between the SNP 4% increase and the LibDem choice of increase, the SNP administration won by a single vote. It is deeply disappointing that Dundee tenants are to be "consulted" on a done deal.
Oh, how different the SNP is in administration to the SNP opposition. And would Labour have tried to move nonsense motions when it was part of the former administration? I think not.
