| Question | Sami Laine | Edvard Lindfors | Simon Store | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Culture or the economy? | A cultural landmark, but renovation isn't financially viable; it depends on tax revenue. | Part of the Hanko brand, a value that cannot be measured in money. | A building of historical significance that has served as a restaurant; in need of repair (city-owned or privately owned?). | Cultural values come first; Laine is a fiscal realist, Lindfors is image-conscious, and Store is a reformist. |
| 2. Investment and funding | Max €4 million per year; requires a loan; to be funded from other sources. | Decrease in state subsidies, external funding, and a 5+ year plan. | A 100% loan for the city, which will be a burden for years to come; awaiting a financial assessment. | Loans or foreign aid are essential; Store warns of a budget deficit. |
| 3. Terms and Conditions of Sale | 1. Land for the city. 2. Commitment to repair. 3. Demolition clause + minimum maintenance. | Public use, obligation to maintain, municipal oversight. | Implementation; budget for schools/loan portfolio as noted above. | Commitments to repair and operation; Store budget constraints. |
| 4. My opinion | The J–Y partnership shares costs; committed to conducting studies. | Cooperation regarding repairs/use; the city will decide. | No decision will be made until the studies and the overall investment plan are finalized. | Laine/Lindfors partnership; Store is awaiting information. |
