South Wales Evening Post - 7 February 2007
Is it any wonder that people have developed such low opinions of their elected representatives in recent years?
We read of cash for honours scandals and now independent Swansea councillor Ioan Richard has confirmed the sadly popular view that politicians are only in it for the money (Post, February 1).
There does not appear to be anything behind his alleged plans to disrupt council proceedings other than a loss of income by losing office.
Surely he must have known the risks of giving up employment in exchange for the whimsies of political life.
As ye sow, so shall ye reap.
