Good Evening

I would like a proper consultation process, with national press coverage and a referendum that engages with the electorate. I fail to understand why more tax payers money should be used in this manner to increase members without seeing a value for money exercise and how the electorate will benefit from such increase. This needs to be in plain English/Welsh and self explanatory, then the electorate should decide. Our services are suffering in Wales, roads in disrepair and extremely long NHS waiting lists without hardly any NHS dental provision. We also have a severe shortage of Special Needs school places. We do not need more of our cash diverted from funding the poor state of the Welsh economy, it is not up to WG to blame Westminster for lack of funds on one hand , then to inflate running costs of WA on another.
I do not agree to this proposal and need convincing otherwise.
I submit this view as an individual who is over 18 and do not need my details being kept confidential.

Kind regards
Sharon Edwards
