Arrogance or laziness...

For transparency and my own agenda, I strongly dislike our previous government, the Social Democrats with the support of the Green Party and the tacit acceptance of the Left Party. Also, we are not affected by residential parking fees as we rent a parking space in a garage.

The city of Stockholm has been governed for just over a year by the Social Democrats and the Green Party with the Left Party's tacit acceptance.

This alliance that governs Stockholm city budgeted that the people of Stockholm would park incorrectly for 29,580,000 dollars. Instead, the outcome was $25,590,000.

Sweden has been in a deep recession for a long time, affecting the citizens' economy severely. In a strained economic situation, which a recession means, everyone avoids unnecessary costs, especially parking fines. Even first graders understand this.

This has resulted in the residential parking fee increasing by 45% next year and the Traffic Office will be without a Christmas table this year.

Despite the two measures, there will be $8,850,000 missing in the budget for next year, according to traffic councilor Lars Stromgren, the Green Party.

The alliance that governs the city of Stockholm should perhaps ask our first graders for help with the budget.
