Cameron's Council Tax plans are half baked says Huhne
Commenting on David Cameron's proposal that any council wanting to raise council tax above a level determined by ministers in London should call a local referendum before they do so, Liberal Democrat leadership contender Chris Huhne said, "Half-baked half-measures fail either to make council tax fairer, or give power to local communities. We need to axe the council tax entirely, and replace it with a local income tax based on ability to pay. And we need fair votes for councils so that local people can boot out bad councils more easily.
