    news on voting September 25th, 2013

    Anne-Gro just sent these news from Levanger:

    This is what happened until now:
    A majority of the politicians voted for a decision that says that “contact is to be made with the Berg Eiendom (owners of the mall and area around) for the purpose of negotiating the cinema on Moan (the mall area).

    The Mayor is authorized to negotiate an agreement. Any negotiated agreement should be submitted to the council for approval”. This means that a majority wants a new cinema with two halls there, but I spoke with Odd, the head of culture, who says that it will still be a cinema in the old movie theater in the city center for at least 3-4 years.
    In the mall area they´re now building the new apartments and it is not an issue for them to build the cinema before they are completed, and who knows if they will ever do it. Well, the negotiations will probably show.

    A representative of Høyre (right liberal) suggested that they make the decision: “the cinema in Festiviteten should be laid down by year-end”, but a large majority voted against that (28 against 7 votes).

    So it seems that yes, there should be a funeral, but we don´t know when we´ll have the dead body and it is also possible that “this funeral might be for the wrong corpse” – meaning that this whole process could take some unexpected turns still.
