Clean Sidewalks

When we left Jerusalme Thursday night, the garbage cans along our Kiryat Shmuel sidewalkswere overflowing. Garbage made sidewalks, whose cleanliness is the Municipality's responsibility, impassible in places. Saturday night when we returned, dustbin lids were closed and most of the garbage was gone. Sunday morning sweepers were at work. Today, we're neat and tidy. Anyone who visited Jerusalem last week for the first time went away with the impression of a city dirty to the point of endangering health.

I have not read whether the mayor got the money from the central government to hire the sanitation workers back.
