Latham and the Liverpool City Council

Marco of Canblog says in this post that "If Mark Latham can do for Australia what he did for the City of Liverpool, we could be in for great times ahead." And Marco was living in Liverpool at the time.

This is in contrast to the letter signed by several other previous mayors of Liverpool who claim he was a nightmare. Naturally enough Latham defends his record, and Kerison hopes that "some journo will actually do some work and present the figures so we can read for ourselves how well he did." I hope so too. Chris told me that he read somewhere in the SMH this week that a former Liberal councilor, one who was there at the same time as Latham, has refuted the letter. That a liberal member would be arguing in favour of Latham's record is encouraging, to say the least, but I haven't been able to find the article. If anyone has the details, please let me know.
