County government

The Troms county council (Norwegian: Fylkestinget) was made up of 37 representatives that are elected every four years. The last council was elected for the 2015–2019 term. The council essentially acts as a Parliament or legislative body for the county. This council was led by a county mayor (Norwegian: Fylkesordfører), and the council elected five members to be in the county cabinet (Norwegian: Fylkesrådet) which carried out the executive functions of the county. The last cabinet was led by Willy Ørnebakk.[2]

County mayor

The county council was led by a county mayor. The last county mayor of Troms was Knut Werner Hansen from the Labour Party. He served in this office from 2011–2019.

Previous Troms county mayors include
gollark: This is fine, I guess, I would just do it more haskellishly for reasons.
gollark: There are a bunch of useful methods for combining options.
gollark: However, bee.
gollark: Now, arguably you "shouldn't" and that's "awful" and "you don't need to abstract everything".
gollark: ```rust if stack.len() < 2 { eprintln!("DOMAIN ERROR"); } else { let a = stack.pop().unwrap(); let b = stack.pop().unwrap();```I think you could abuse option combinators for this instead, though.
