No New Waste Watchdog for City Spending

The motion proposed appointing a "waste ombudsman" in Stockholm for two years to scrutinize how city administrations and companies use taxpayer money, focusing on identifying inefficient or non-core expenditures. However, the majority in the Municipal Board rejected the proposal, arguing that effective control systems and audits, such as the City Audit Office, are already in place, and a new ombudsman would lead to duplicate work.
