ALL haredi mayors will do their best to transfer money from the non-haredi sector to the haredi sector by maximizing discounts (80% ?? now 90% when do we get 95% -- or 99%?) for haredi residents, and MINIMIZING investment in non-haredi institutions to "NOT ONE PENNY" more than the legal minimum. So if the haredim want to fight over WHICH haredi factions gets the biggest piece of the action, it does not really matter to me. At this point, they are all the same no matter where they live.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-81446755752810191312014-06-23T08:22:24.595+03:002014-06-23T08:22:24.595+03:00it is a ridiculous s'vara! just because someon...it is a ridiculous s'vara! just because someone is super talented in gemara or even in running a yeshiva, that doesn't mean that he would be the right person to be mayor! therefore the whole idea is ridiculous! <br /><br />look at the mayors in various towns. who amongst them are great businessmen, scientists, or whatever? they're guys who know how to make deals and get elected, how to play the system, how to administer.Ben Waxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02798895161663664689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-62822138604730159602014-06-22T21:27:33.393+03:002014-06-22T21:27:33.393+03:00If anyone else proposes this law it would be Chare...If anyone else proposes this law it would be Charedi bashing. ehwhyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06436676108396672275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-42068722524879661212014-06-22T16:04:43.511+03:002014-06-22T16:04:43.511+03:00According to Gafni, someone may be unable to chang...According to Gafni, someone may be unable to change his address in time to meet a filing deadline and still be considered the most competent person to run a city.Yoni Rossnoreply@blogger.com
