Suspended Stirling councillor Danny Gibson looks set to continue being paid his salary while not working as an elected member.
Cllr Gibson was last week given a five-month-long suspension after he was deemed to have breached the Councillors’ Code of Conduct by behaving disrespectfully towards council officers and bullying one senior council official.
A Standards Commission for Scotland hearing was told how he pressured council officers, launched a personal attack on one senior officer and belittled staff in front of others at public and private meetings.
