Leanne Refuses to take extra pay

Leanne Wood has refused to accept a pay rise of £20,000 as leader of a political group on the Assembly.  This has been immediately praised by Caerffili`s real AM Lindsay Whittle as a principled decision which contrasts with the big bucks that certain political leaders get out of politics. Carwyn J, who is on over £120,000 according to a report in Golwg recently refused a demand by Leanne Wood to condemn UK Labour local governement leaders who are raking in the cash under the guise of extra responsibilities  http://www.golwg360.com/newyddion/cymru/71485-leanne-wood-yn-gwrthod-20000-o-gyflog

Leanne in Caerffili
