A DISTURBING pattern is emerging in the behaviour of our new city council.

A desire to control the scrutiny committees by heading them with their placemen, and a deliberate attempt to conceal important matters from the opposition, have not been trumpeted in the partisan Your Voice issue, but needed exposure by The Press.

First term report – forget the spin, forget party politics, and remember why York put you there.
