Electric car? Electric can't

Green Party AM Darren Johnson has a piece at Left Foot Forward forensically dissecting Mayor Johnson’s electric car policy announcements, and the lack of substantive progress to match them. Sample quote:

A £1 million fund has featured in numerous media reports in October 2009 and again in December 2010…Not only is the £1 million the same money in 2009 and 2010, but it hasn’t actually been budgeted or spent yet. [his emphasis]

It’s a fine critique of a media mayor.
