What does the municipal council do?

 Today's discussion is one regarding our currently relevant election for the local council of the city of Turku. We all know who they are as a group, but what do they really do behind the closed curtains?

First and foremost, municipal councillors represent a select region, ward or municipality. Second of all, their most important concrete job is to tend to a budget and manage a city or region's expenses as well as revenues plus, in relation to money, they also approve different fundings. The council also manages its own decision-making bodies.

Those were just a few examples of the job of the local council. As a closing message, we suggest that you all who soon turn 18 should start to already think about your own vote for future councillors since they will decide things on behalf of your own city and define its future.
