- Municipal mergers may be assessed on a case-by-case basis and in this case ensure that they do not receive impaired governance. We see in many medium-sized municipalities that you have big problems with managing your finances and commitments, ”says Jonny Jones (C).

Extended cooperation

Leksand's municipal council has mentioned Rättvik as a possible municipality to be merged if it should become relevant. It's not a suggestion that Jonny Jones is beating. He would rather see increased cooperation between the two municipalities, which are already working together with, among other things, adult education and the water and waste side.

- I like to collaborate more around, for example, high school and there are more areas. We have an assignment that is on the management team to look at what more areas we can collaborate on.

In the clip, Jonny Jones explains more about why he doesn't believe in merging in general and with Leksand specifically.
