But they agreed in April that the best person to chair a committee that examines what the Conservative Administration does is someone from <em>outside<\/em> that party.<\/p>\n<p>So June is now the chair,  and the rest of the committee is made up of 6 Tories plus lone councillor John Mason.  Things got off to a good start at their first meeting this week. June proved she is an able chairman, and nearly all the committee seem enthusiastic.
