REGARDING the story "Councillors set to back mayor" December 1, it was stated that the elected mayor will take over powers held by Police And Crime Commissioner Tony Lloyd. This being so can we expect that the PCC will take a reduction in his salary or will he take over the duties of his unelected deputy who will then be given an enhanced redundancy package out of the public purse? In these times of austerity when everybody is tightening their belts it seems another case of all men are created equal but some are created more equal than others.
