Social Democrats criticized for wasting

Social Democrats criticized for wasting
Two Moderates in Västmanland County Council criticizes in a letter to the newspaper VLT how the red-green majority handled the tax money, and writes that they have notified the county council to "Waste Ombudsman".


Submitter posted on Vestmanlands The County Magazine website. In it, Tomas Hogstrom (M), Opposition, and Sverre Linton (M), county politicians, that the red-green majority - and the Social Democrats in particular - does not handle tax money in a sufficiently responsible manner. They write, among other things, that they have notified the county council to "Waste Ombudsman".

As an example of the county council's waste mentions inter alia that a folk high school was sold to Skinnskattebergs municipality for a penny, instead of another actor who offered 600,000 crowns. They also cite a case where reconstruction of a part of Västerås hospital suspended, and writes that the event meant that the county council had thrown seven million in the lake.

- The money for the rebuild is not wasted. Construction has just stopped until further notice. The planning must change with patients and staff in mind, and after that comes built continue, says Barbara Conte (MP), councilor for the environment and public health issues in Västmanland County Council, to Dagens Medicin.

Barbara Conte has not himself been present at the negotiations of the stores mentioned in the debate the article, but have been informed. She does not agree that it was a waste to sell the public high school for a crown instead of 600 000 SEK.

- The folk high school is a public agency and it was fitting that the municipality would be responsible for it. Selling public high school to the municipality and thus retain it as part of public affairs, was a matter of public benefit for the future, not how much money we could make. Public benefit in the future may be worth the money, she says.

Dagens Medicin have searched the Social Democratic county councils.
