Do people who work for the Council not pay tax? I see a lot of comments about people at the Council wasting tax payers money and not caring about what it is spent on and it has started to confuse me.

As a student I obviously don't pay council tax, so I don't tend to use that as an argument against something because it just makes me look like I haven't got a valid argument against something. However a lot of people on accyweb seem to use that as an argument against many things, so I just wondered if there is a tax exemption the moment you work for the council that I don't know about. I'm quite rusty with politics.
