"We are lean and mean," enthuses chief executive, Helen Briggs, Rutland County Council

"We are lean and mean," enthuses chief executive Helen Briggs, who lives in Oakham.at the 10th Anniversary of Rutlands Independance,

If Rutland County Council was lean and mean then, what is it now?  Mean and Evil?

Now I understand the reason why these good people give me so much grief.

Good grief why do we put up with this woman.

We were lied to about her pay, by Conservative Council Leader Roger Begy at the public meeting, does he think we are stupid?

All websites that list Council staff who are paid more than our Prime Minister list her as earning £129,000

There is now a huge reduction shown on the Councils own site this year.

Helen Briggs said While 19 of the 26 councillors are Conservatives, Briggs finds it hard to detect party allegiances. She says: "I would describe them as members who are passionate about issues, and not political in a party political sense - passionate about doing the right thing for Rutland."

Has she never looked at the voting records.

And the public are not blind.

I hope the large amount of public who were at lasts nights council meeting remember their comments and vote out this Conservative mob on May 5th

Ex Councillor Mr Jim Harrison in the past said of Rutland County Council:

"I was always against the idea from the outset," he says. "I said it would cost us more money - and so it has. Nothing good has come of it."
