Why do Brighton and Hove councillors always pass on the burden of council tax to Joe Public (The Argus, July 18)?

Where do they think we are going to keep finding the extra money?

If they say they cannot give the roadsweepers, refuse men, dinner ladies and other low-paid people doing a vital service to the community more than 3 per cent because it's above inflation rate, how is it they increase council tax four times higher than inflation?

They should be looking in-house for a change. They can afford pay and expenses rises for themselves which are more than many people earn in a year. Shouldn't they be leading by example?

It looks like The Argus will have to take up the fight for all of us regarding this matter once again.
