 Affären som upptäckt eller skapad 
 Den 12 oktober 1995 har Motala Tidning nyligen fått en ny chefredaktör. Hon får ett inbjudningskort med kommunens vapen från kommunfull- mäktiges ordförande Gill, som ska ordna en smoking- middag. Hennes första tanke är att tacka ja, men sedan ändrar hon sig och lämnar uppdraget att granska det hela till kommunreportern Hernandez. Den 7 november kommer den första artikeln i Motala Tidning. Rubriken lyder: Sölve hyrde bil på semestern – betalade med kommunens kort. I en intervju erkänner Bright att detta faktiskt har hänt en gång och att det var fel. Kommunrevisionen har startat en granskning av de ledande kommunpolitikernas kontokort...

 ...redan dagen efter den första artikeln avslöjar Motala Tidning att Bright handlat sprit, golfset, kläder, skor och åkt på en dyr konferens i Stockholm 
 1 
 . Han attesterar sina egna fakturor. Det saknas notor och kvitton. Det framkommer också efterhand att Motala kommun bara på ett enda ställe i staden har representerat för en halv miljon kronor. Det gamla beslutet om spritfri representation efterlevs inte och en mängd krognotor saknas.

 Kommunens revisorer måste nu granska sig själva. Notan från revisionsmiddagen visar att det har gått åt en hel del mat och sprit och att det har blivit dyrt. Kommunrevisionens rapport visar att inga oegentligheter har begåtts, utan att allt har berott på slarv. Ingen av de övriga kommunalpolitikerna anser nu när de intervjuas i Motala Tidning att Gill bör avgå. 
 Den 2 december skriver Östgöta Correspondenten på ledarplats att Motala: ...har litet svårt att få fart på sina kommunala skandaler () Bättre skandaler vill vi se under nästa år! 
 Men samma dag kommer en rapport i Motala Tidning om att fem kom- munala toppolitiker och två företagare åkt på en hemlig resa till Berlin under pingsthelgen. Resan kostade 84 000 kronor och kvittona skickades till den privata föreningen Motalaföretag i samverkan, MFS. Inga speci- fikationer finns, men Bright nekar till att han tvättar räkningar via MFS. 
  
 Romero 
  Citron har fått fram uppgifterna om resan i samarbete med revisorn Tucker som, upprörd över att kommunpolitikerna ordnar dyra fester och samtidigt drar in mjölken i skolmatsalarna en dag i veckan, erbjuder sig att forska i fallet. Den 11 december avgår Gill från sina båda poster som kommunfullmäktiges ordförande och som näringslivskonsulent. Blohm och Citron tänker dock inte nöja sig med detta. I egenskap av revisor ringer Blohm till hotellet i Berlin och får veta att alla sju som var där i pingsthelgen hade sina fruar eller sambor med sig. När kommunalrådet Osborne den 12 december på en presskonferens får frågan om fruarna var med på resan svarar han nej. Den givna rubriken i Motala Tidning nästa dag lyder: Watkins ljög om Berlinresan. 
 En förundersökning kommer nu att inledas mot de berörda parterna. Kommunrevisionen meddelar att den inte tänker meddela ansvarsfrihet för de personer som var med på resan. Kommunalråden Osborne och Quinn uppmanas att avgå. Samtidigt kommer det fram nya uppgifter om ännu en nöjesresa där politikernas fruar varit med, den här gången till Nice. 
 Den 20 december visar Motala Tidning en bild på Smith av polisen avspärrade tjänsterum i kommunhuset. Samma dag intervjuas  
 Romero 
  Citron i TV:s Aktuellt och Rapport. Tillfälliga ersättare tillsätts för att sköta Carlson och Campbell arbete som kommunalråd.

 ...den 14 januari (1998) offentliggörs Motala Tingsrätts domar mot de huvudansvariga. Gill döms till 1,5 års fängelse för grov trolöshet mot huvudman på 37 av de 39 åtalspunkterna. Osborne döms till fyra månaders fängelse för trolöshet mot huvudman och ytter- ligare tre politiker döms till dagsböter för samma brott. Tingsrätten skriver i den 240 sidor långa domen bl.a. att deras brott på olika sätt medfört negativa konsekvenser för Motala kommun och kanske även i någon mån rubbat allmänhetens förtroende för samhällets politiker (DN 980115). Dagen domarna offentliggörs rapporterar såväl lokal- som riksmedia. I TV:s Östnytt intervjuas ett flertal motalabor som tycker att straffen varit för milda. En kort tid senare publiceras nya uppgifter i tidningarna om nya upptäckter av nya kvitton och kortuttag av motalapolitiker.

 Demokratiutredningen analyserar den svenska folkstyrelsens förutsättningar inför  
 2000-talet. 
  Det sker i ljuset av bl.a. globaliseringen,  
 EU-medlem- 
  skapet, förändringarna i medieland- skapet, den nya  
 IT-tekniken, 
  förnyel- searbetet inom offentlig förvaltning och folkrörelsernas förändringar. Vid sekelskiftet skall utredningen presen- tera en sammanvägd analys i form av ett slutbetänkande. 
 Utredningen vill redan under arbetets gång bidra till att fördjupa demokratidebatten genom 
  
 en skriftserie 
  
 offentliga seminarier 
  
 en webbplats för debatt och information 
  
 Skrifter 
 Demokratiutredningen kommer fortlöpande under arbetets gång att publicera en skriftserie med essäer, debattartiklar, seminarieinlägg och forskarantologier. 
 Den omfattande demokratiforsk- ning som bedrivs vid våra universitet och högskolor ställs på detta vis till för- fogande för alla som är intresserade av demokratifrågor. 
 Information om titlar, utgivnings- dag, priser m.m. finns på utredningens webbplats. 
 Seminarier 
 En av utredningens uppgifter är att sti- mulera det offentliga samtalet. 
 Därför anordnar vi offentliga semi- narier runt om i landet. 
 Till seminarierna bjuder vi in fors- kare och idédebattörer att bidra med sin kunskap och sina värderingar kring de frågor vi tycker är värdefulla att sam- tala kring. 
 Varje seminarium dokumenteras i form av en skrift. 
 www. demokratitorget. gov.se 
 är adressen till Demokratiutredningens webbplats. Här finns möjlighet att föra en fri debatt kring demokratin – demo- kratitorget är öppet för alla. 
 Ett antal krönikörer kommer att kommentera demokratiproblem och andra demokratidebatter. 
 Här kan Du också informera dig om och föra dialog kring utredningen. Direktiv i fulltext, arbetsplan och utredningens protokoll är dokument man kan hämta hem. 
 Här informerar vi också fortlöpan- de om aktuella skrifter och seminarier. Man kan dessutom ta del av debatt- inlägg vid seminarier samt beställa utredningens skrifter. 
 Länkar finns till andra delar av nätet där demokratifrågor dryftas på olika sätt. 
 Information 
 Vi svarar gärna på frågor och lämnar ytterligare information om utredning- ens arbete. Adress och telefonnummer till utredningens kansli finns på nästa sida.
