Maybe a freedom of information request to Northamptonshire council should be made as to how many council employees are being paid more than the Prime Minister?

Local council funding has been drastically cut:

Whilst I am sure council leaders may be inefficient and spending too much it's unlikely to be the cause of the funding crisis since even paying them three times the PM is small change in contrast to the budgets we're talking about.
Wherever the extra tax is going it's being spent by central government.
