Show me the money

You gotta love the LGA's response to Gordon Brown's conference speech:

Responding to Chancellor Gordon Brown’s party conference speech in Manchester in which he said:- "It is right that local councils, not Whitehall, should have more power over the things that matter to their community and from economic regeneration to public transport, the empowerment and strengthening of local councils and local communities is what we must now do."

The Chairman of the Local Government Association, Sandy Bruce-Lockhart, said:-“Now is the chance for Gordon Brown and the government to prove that this is more than just words by putting the changes he has put forward into the local government White Paper due in a month’s time.”
