Scottish Labour leader candidate Cathy Jamieson has ruled out cooperation with the Tories on reforming council tax.The statement is a swipe at her rival, Iain Gray, who said he was prepared to work with the Conservatives to change the current system. "There is no way I am going to do backroom deals with the Tories," Ms Jamieson said. "I want to fix the system and replace it with a workable and equitable improvement." All three Labour candidates have ruled out the Scottish National party (SNP) solution of replacing it with a 3p local income tax, saying it would disqualify Scots from ВЈ400 million in council tax benefits a year.
