A look at the news, Channel 1 presents: The flower exhibition in Haifa failed and accumulated a debt of NIS 19 million
A huge deficit in the flower exhibition in Haifa burdens the city's education and welfare budget and hurts the weaker sections.
City officials are asking why this huge Israeli production had to be financed from the meager property tax budget and on the backs of the residents of Haifa. And who will pay? As usual, the sucker middle class that was torn under the burden of the property tax. A simple calculation: every Haifa sucker has two people on his back who do not pay property tax.
According to Channel 1 reporter, Eliran Tel, 2.5 million NIS will be cut from the education budget, XNUMX million NIS from the welfare budget, damage to the integration program for Ethiopian immigrants.
We have already received dozens of reports from the field in real time about the operational failure of the flower show. Now the massive budget deficit has also been revealed.
The queue exhibition: hundreds of thousands stood in the heat. Many thousands abandoned already at the entrance. Read more in the coverage from the field at this link:
At the city council meeting that preceded the exhibition's opening date, I was alerted to the exact expected debt. I claimed that I had no problem with a small and tolerable deficit, but not an expected deficit of NIS 19 million. It was clear to me that this would lead to painful cuts in the municipality's budget And now it became clear to us how and where they were cut.
Let's not forget the huge budget hole discovered in the stadium project. And we were warned about him in advance At least 110 million NIS!!
How does the municipality intend to cover this? The municipality has already started selling municipal lots that were intended for ornamental gardens, children's playgrounds and public buildings to...contractors!
