I do buy the Journal, but from years back as a member of Carmarthenshire Ratepayers' Association members were concerned the papaer was being leaned on.

If not, why not?<br />It would appear that the relationship between Simmons and Mark James was/is far too close for comfort!Jack Old Oaknoreply@blogger.com
