Quote:Scottish councils have warned that the government's budget plans could lead to "significant" cuts to local services.
The Convention of Scottish Local Authorities (Cosla) said the proposed funding package would "result in extremely difficult local decisions".
A Scottish government spokesman insisted councils had been treated "very fairly" in budget settlements.
The government needs one opposition party to at least abstain to get the budget past its first vote on Thursday.
A briefing paper sent around MSPs by Cosla, which includes many of Scotland's councils, said "misrepresentations" about the proposed deal were confusing communities and damaging the role of local government.
