So you are a mayor in Sweden and you have $91,584 of taxpayers money to spend, what do you do? Well, you get an artist to paint a mural of you dressed as a Roman legionary that’s what! Now, now, to be fair mayor Lars Ahlkvist also included a local financier and his partner in the painting. The financier was depicted as Sweden’s King Karl XI and his squeeze a noble lady. Now, that is an awesome waste of taxpayers money. If I had a bucket load of taxpayers money to waste spend on public art I think I would create an enormous bronze pigeon with a public toilet on top so we could all poop on it!!!

I’d have done it for $80,000.
That’s an incredible $11,584 Swedish savings to you!
(Of course it would have looked like that ruined Spanish church painting, but… whatever.)
I would have just pocketed the money.
