"@Stockholmsstad are now acting like angry toddlers."
I'd read between the lines. I don't think it's a hurt ego, not with these numbers. Someone is (continued) to be paid for this to be happening. This reeks corruption.
It's more government officials and contractors with their reputation and money on the line. In the case of government officials, it's not necessarily unmarked-bills-in-a-paper-bag-under-the-table kind of corruption, but the more pernicious "revolving door" of government/private industry kind.
Absolutely correct, it's smells exactly like the kill-LiMux "Project" from Munich.
But Sweden has a pretty big history being corrupt, just think about Assange, Olof Palme...and the bad russian sub story.
