Three officials were scheduled to jet off to the Big Apple in April: Lord Provost Jacqueline McLaren and SNP councillor Richard Bell, who helped to devise cost-cutting efforts to fill a £107 million financial hole. For Scotland Week, it was expected to cost the public purse £1,700 per person for the officials to enjoy a three-night stay from April 4 to April 7. Following a public outcry earlier this week, the SNP-led council was condemned as 'tone deaf,' and the trip across the Atlantic has been postponed. The council's most recent budget information estimates call for increasing the cost of school meals and parking fees, although up to 450 teaching positions may be lost as part of'reform' initiatives to the education system.
