No to unitary, and more council logic

The news has just been released on unitary authorities, and North Yorkshire is not to become one. Looks like Craven will have to sort its own financial mess out, so those there can look forward to seeing yet more of the family silver being sold.
Apparently the pressure to increase the salary of the chief executive - she who's overseen massive increases in both debt and staff numbers - is from herself!
The 37% increase in 4 years and the performance related pay element are inadequate for one of her calibre, and, or so we're told, when she's applied for jobs elsewhere and mentions her salary they laugh!
So council tax payers who have had nothing like the increases she's had over a few short years are being asked to give more to ease her ego!
Later today the news will be out concerning her 16% additional increase, I'll let you know.
