The grossly overweight councillor who has spent her time in power going from mishap to mishap is to be proven a liar next week when one again Dr. Ralph Musgrave gives a damning report to the council - Ralphie's last report was showing how Nolan and his Craigmilar Cabal were, like Councillor MacLaren, at it.
