		Scared by the council tax revolts and the schools funding crisis, the centralisers believe the only option is to attack local democracy even harder than Mrs Thatcher, perhaps by centralising all education funding.
		Oliver Letwin, the new Shadow Chancellor, seemed to have worked out a policy when he told The Independent that the Tories "may propose that the share of council budgets raised locally is increased from 25% to more than 50% and the council tax is likely to remain under their plans".
		With the council tax continuing to rise faster than inflation, and revaluation on the horizon, it is an issue that will not go away.

		An angry battle has erupted in the genteel heart of Mosman, with the local council and the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust at war over a prime stretch of land along the ridge line of Middle Head.

		The council says the Rawson Oval site offered by the trust is too close to housing and the heritage-listed drill hall offered for indoor courts is "too small for basketball and would be incredibly noisy".

		Some pundits have argued that the Security Council could be reformed into an efficient entity that does not have to take on that many peacekeeping missions.
		The Security Council should, it is argued, divide its responsibilities among regional groupings such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), the Arab League and others.
		For those who continue to deny Japan a role in the Security Council, however, the goal should not focus on whether Japan has learned from its actions in World War II; rather, whether Japan has understood that its domestic peacekeeping laws are incompatible with the demands of contemporary international relations.

		Instead, he claimed the applicant hasn’t met the burden of proof with a broad enough study, and that such a change is not fair to people who moved into the area, did their homework about adjacent land and found that the city intended to keep the low-density zoning in place.
		A draft rewrite of the city’s zoning code proposes allowing lots as small as 3,000 square feet and densities as high as 11 units an acre — both of which have drawn council criticism, and are unlikely to be adopted as proposed.
		Lawyer Paul Speck has taken public issue with the council’s decision not to hear the subdivision appeal, but one reason councilors did so was because they were assured by the city’s attorney that, no matter what they decided, the losing side would take the case to LUBA anyway.
