Tonight's Evening Telegraph covers my recent comments about bringing more civil service jobs to Dundee.
I have responded to the negative comments by the SNP MSP for Dundee West as follows :
"Commenting on the statement by Joe FitzPatrick MSP that :
“It is hypocritical for Mr Macpherson to be making these comments when the Lib Dems at Holyrood are calling for public sector jobs cuts.”
Cllr Fraser Macpherson said, “Joe FitzPatrick has resorted to making it up, to try to deflect scrutiny of the SNP’s failure to bring civil service jobs to the city, despite all the SNP promises to Dundee when they were in opposition. The Liberal Democrats have not called for public sector job cuts but for pay restraint for the highest paid staff and the ending of large bonuses.
“It would be a whole lot better if Joe FitzPatrick put some effort into the campaign for more public sector jobs for Dundee.”
