An End To Secrecy
Labour party leaders at Holyrood are calling for an 'end to secrecy' - over the Scottish government's capital spending programme.
Refreshingly, Labour (in opposition) are demanding that things are brought out into the open - so that the public can judge for themselves what the government is planning and doing - in their name.
South Lanarkshire Council is, of course, a Labour-led council - and has been for many years.
Yet, South Lanarkshire's fondness for secrecy seems to know no bounds - people can't even find out what groups of gardeners or refuse workers get paid - compared to carers, classroom assistants and catering workers.
So, why the big difference between the Labour party's attitude in Edinburgh - compared to South Lanarkshire?
Who knows - but we'll be doing our level best to find the answer.
