Deri Gives Local Governments An Extension To Pass A Budget


Interior Minister Aryeh Deri has decided to grant local governments an extension to pass their budget before dissolving the council and assuming control.

Interior Minister Aryeh Deri on Sunday gave a 14-day extension to five local municipalities and cities which to date have not succeeded in passing a budget since municipal elections in October 2018. According to the law, if a budget is not passed by 30 June 2019, the ministry steps in and appoints a committee to assume control over the municipality or city until there are new elections.

The 14-day extension provides them with yet another opportunity to pass a budget before the ministry intervenes. This applies to the Tiveria, Rahat, Ohr Akiva, Tiveria, Yarka and Isfiya.
