 | 'The old leaderships in sleaze-ridden Labour authorities seem to be consolidating their hold over power - Pat Lally's old mucker Alex Mosson is back in charge in Glasgow, and has a bigger limo than any Scottish Ministers. Any review of funding is off, DLOs stagger on, mayors are a non starter. I'm sure that Labour is sincere in wishing to reform local-government, but it means taking on their own people, and that isn't easy.' Iain MacWhirter in the Herald, 7 th July 1999. |  |
