I am thinking of it sort of in the same way as I think of the judicial reform. Reform is needed but they are trying to fix one problem by creating another. They are fixing a system that is unbalanced with too much power to the courts by going the opposite way and giving too much power to the government.

They are fixing a supposed unbalanced distribution of resources that eventually led to the better off cities having the ability to attract businesses with higher levels of arnona by taking away some of the money they worked hard for and giving it to poorer cities. Maybe the government should just give more resources to the poorer cities, the way they gave to the richer cities 50 years ago, rather than taking away fromt he rich cities now.

That being said, I now understand Bet Shemesh would be set to receive 20 million shekels a year from this program if it passes, so I guess I should support it... :-)
