ONE must ask how much lower the esteem of Councillor Rod Hills can fall in the eyes of the city's electorate?

Following comments in your columns of late regarding his personal conduct in the council chamber over the York pools issue and now the blatant attempts to manipulate not just the electorate, but the Joseph Rowntree Foundation over the 'New Osbaldwick' scheme, surely his continued office is untenable.

If the now hung council will not give him a vote of censure and remove both him and his henchmen, why does he not be a gentleman and resign?
