“Well, we’re in Stockholm, takes responsibility of the rest of the country”
“Reply from Leif Gripestam about the gap between city and countryside”
“This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against.”
“REPLICA. Tilting at windmills does not lead the debate forward. All parties agree that a financial equalisation must exist between the regions and municipalities. But far from everything depends on circumstances that are not avoidable. “
“It is wrong, therefore, to debate in terms of nourishing and wasting that Ingvar Persson, chairman of Sweden’s Vattenkraftskommuner and regions (FSV), are doing.”
“the equalisation system covers 106 billion and there is fog for a coherent policy in Sweden. But it is not reasonable to keep the municipalities, as priority is relatively low council tax, are responsible for the other chosen to keep it on a higher level. The local self-government gives local politicians a large space to make priorities. It will have repercussions on the municipal tax.”
“the Writer, however, has a point in that the equalisation system should be done. The state should take over the entire responsibility for the system instead of sending a part of the bill to a region and a number of municipalities that are net contributors. “
“the Stockholm region is very important for the finance minister Magdalena Andersson, and for the whole of Sweden, from a critical perspective. Half of the state inkomstskatteintäkter comes from the helsinki metropolitan area despite the fact that we only make up 25 percent of the country’s population. “
“the Metropolitan takes thus in the highest degree responsible for the whole and the ability of governments to provide the whole of Sweden, the prerequisites for a good service. “
“If the Stockholm region should continue to be able to contribute to the treasury of the extensive way we now do, it is important not to pull the rug for the necessary investments. An economic decline in the Stockholm region strikes against the whole of Sweden.”
“All of Sweden shall continue to be granted with reasonable conditions to service and development. It is best done by Sweden’s foremost growth engine get the fuel to increase the tempo, rather than be strangled by a narrow view of us and them.”
