The issue raised by Swansea’s local paper over the cost of the mayoral limo has moved on to questions by readers as to why city’s taxpayers are being forced to pay to house the first family rent-free in the Mansion House over the coming year.
As predicted, Sticky Dick attempted to portray his self-indulgences as some kind of saving to the public purse. But it was his adult daughter - who has also moved into the mayoral suites – to stoke up outrage by unwisely sticking her snout into the debate to claim that long service alone was sufficient justification for Lewis (plus entourage) to take up official residence.
Needless to say, her intervention prompted at least one reader to ask just (1) Why it had taken 35 years for her old man to eventually get his hands on the civic chain and (2) what she had personally done to merit her year’s rent-free accommodation in Swansea’s Mansion House. No answers were forthcoming.

Interesting to know what he's doing with his home in Horton for the year? Wouldn't put it past him to rent it out.
Maybe somebody should squat it.
