Fair comment from the Daily Record - Scotland's councils don't have the funds to pay their workers a decent pay rise without cutting vital local services.
SNP ministers know this, of course, and have added insult to injury by funding a 5.2% pay rise for local councillors while refusing to do the same for the council workforce.
