@callum_mccaig so they should be punished for previous financial prudence? Seems a strange argument.

@glenninnes where do I say anything remotely like that? Point is they don't need to make cuts. -
@callum_mccaig which misses the point that their funding is not sufficient - previous surplus is not a sustainable way to budget -
@glenninnes yet their previous 'insufficient' budget was enough to build up reserves of c£100m. -
@callum_mccaig would you rather we went back to when our city was almost broke? -
@glenninnes I'd rather they spent the money they have to help the city rather sit on piles of cash 15 months before council elections. -
@callum_mccaig I don’t disagree with that. I just wanted to point out that I thought your first point was a cheap shot on a complex issue
