Arun chief's undisclosed salary - call this democracy?
In spite of information about the salary of anyone on any council being frowned upon, I do not think it is democratic not to disclose the salary of the chief executive. I seem to recollect that he was given some incentive to take the job when he was first engaged, or is my memory wrong?
I thought democracy was all about transparency. I now know better.
