- It feels great that it's done. It was annoying and I had trouble sleeping at night. It will be fun and is a major challenge with the economy in the municipality, but also to ensure that Filipstad comes high in various reviews. We have our slogan "Good much better" and it will be! We will do positive things with the Municipality of Filipstad, says Åsa Hååkman Felth.
