Budget

Once again the Jerusalem municipality is fighting with the Treasury over budget. I'm with Jerusalem. Having a capital with decent services and cultural life is a plus for Israel. I don't like uncollected garbage though, and I hope the central powers that be are enough moved by the piles of garbage bags to increase the budget. Yesterday garbage trucks festooned with a variety of professionally-produced slogans blocked Azza Road, the street leading up to the Prime Minister's office. Recently he has been distracted by police interrogation sessions, his statement after one of which was that everyone takes presents from friends.
