Promises
As a county councilor I would like to enhance the expertise, available to the county council of South Karelia on such topics as:
- Promotion of transparency of decission-making
- Use of open source software to reduce digital infrastructure expenses
- Digitization of healthcare and rescue services
- Promotion of quality services to population with international background
Besides that, I plan to actively support and propose such measures, that reduce gender, nationality, racial or language discrimination and promote direct democracy. I.e. if elected I will propose and support:
- Better communication with disabled persons and non-Finnish speakers
- Supplementing video records of council meetings with machine-readable subtitles.
- Mandatory translation of agenda of upcoming council meetings into English.
- Better feedback and direct democracy tools
- I.e. regular questionnaires of residents, that should be used as indicators for quality of municipality-provided services.
