If we can't attract competent County Council candidates (or county administration) at the current salaries, how would a 50% salary reduction motivate them?
Well, by that logic perhaps doubling their salaries would be the way to go.

How about we all make a mental note that the council is now being adequately compensated (some would argue excessively, fine) and now, instead of gnashing our teeth and rending our garments, let’s hold them to an even higher standard?
Their pay shouldn’t be the issue. Their effectiveness should be the issue. KeaauRich is correct when he suggests that reducing their pay would make the body even less effective than it is now. I shudder to think of such a thing.
