As reported in today's East Lothian Courier, East Lothian Council budget spending was 2.1 per cent below expected in the first quarter of this financial year. Councillor Michael Veitch weclomed this as "good news".
Despite the SNP trying to turn a positive into a negative, Cllr. Veitch said: "Councillor Currie is very good at turning good news in to bad. This is good news. This underspend demonstrates that staff all across the council are working very hard."
