Everyone was voting with intent based on the best information at the time available to them. The problem is, the Councillor is representing something completely different in the media. That is highly deceptive and self serving.

I kind of disagree. Anyone looking at the different numbers can see one number relied on a massive difference between the October numbers and the projected end of the year numbers...to go from a 2.3% raise in october to a small cut in two months should have raised some questions. At very least it should have been looked at for what it was, a time to ask questions and get answers, not as an opportunity to gang up on someone you don't like. As I said before, he wasn't wrong. Now what do you do about demanding an apology and calling the guy a liar? You have to play the liar card under much different circumstances than what was presented to council at the time.
