🟢 NEW: Zack Polanski has been reported to the City Hall standards authorities over his council taxes Neil Garratt, a Conservative London assembly member, has lodged a formal complaint against Polanski alleging that questions around his living and tax arrangements were “sufficiently serious” to merit an investigation under the assembly’s code of conduct He said: “People rightly expect senior politicians to follow the rules and pay the taxes they impose on others. If Mr Polanski paid all his Council Tax, why is he refusing to answer direct questions about when and where he paid it? I have asked the City Hall authorities to formally investigate these claims, as the public has a right to know the truth." Hours afterwards Polanski admitted that he was living on an east London houseboat and may owe council tax, days after the first report in @thetimes In a statement on Monday night, a Green Party spokesman said: “Until relatively recently, Zack was living on a houseboat, which came with its own unique practical circumstances and considerations. He has immediately taken steps to pay any council tax he may be found to owe.” Garratt also said Polanski may have broken the "integrity, honesty, accountability and leadership" principles expected of those in public office thetimes.com/article/01d0b5…
