so you can't answer the question then - what a surprise... :eek:Because I didn't write the report?
How do expect me to know the details of how much was saved on pensions, moron? :rotfl:
Why don't you do the research yourself if it's such a burning issue for you...
It's a study of all 37 council chief executives that left by "mutual agreement" between January 2007 and September 2009. I've no idea how many left for other reasons - I don't work for the government mate.
much easier to froth and foam from the mouth over a large amount of money without knowing what the underlying causes are.0 -

Moron,
The underlying causes that the Audit Commission highlighed, as I quoted is the fact that too many departed because of "personal differences with elected councillors rather than poor performance."
The Audit Commission recommendedconsideration be given to advance "pre-nuptial" agreements setting out the severance terms before chief executives are hired...Proposed severance packages should be reviewed by cross-party committees first and details of any payouts should be published shortly afterwards....The report said payoffs, often following a change of political leadership, were "not always justified" and said they should not be a "reward for failure".
.....Chief executives should have appraisals, to mount evidence for a dismissal if necessary and mediation should be used "more widely" and not as a last resort.
Sorry I can't answer your random stupid question about the size of council chief executives' pensions because I don't have access to that information. Anyway, that wasn't the point of this article, which as usual you've missed.0 -
oh dear kokonut - you seem to be struggling to answer questions but have an addiction to frothing at news stories...Moron,

No, it's for the simple reason that I don't have access to details of pensions of chief executives of local authorities...0 -
the right answer - which proves the fact that amount you quote (which is a large amount of money) means nothing at all as it provides us with no perspective to the issue in hand aprt from those who like to froth and get excited easily...No, it's for the simple reason that I don't have access to details of pensions of chief executives of local authorities...0 -
Based on Andy L posting I though I'd dig into the headline grabbing 26% figure.
Only 15% of my local Council Income comes from Council Tax.
26% of the 15% Council Tax gives 4% of Council income used for pensions, but a headline of "4% of Council income is being spent on local authority pensions" doesn't bring out Mr Angry.
What of the remaining 85%, does none of that go towards pensions ?"There's no such thing as Macra. Macra do not exist."

How do you know that without knowing what 'the right answer' is?0 -
the right answer is in reference that you don't know the answer... which is proved by this post whic you completely avoided (again)...
you've used the word moron about 6 times on this thread now - shows your level of intelligence doesn't itBased on Andy L posting I though I'd dig into the headline grabbing 26% figure.
