The State Comptroller's report raised red flags. Corrupt mayors were named. They're "good to those who have been good to them, at the expense of the public and public funds."
Conduct reflecting criminality, approaching it, or skirting it was suggested. Security issues were raised. Local authorities have flawed measures in place to handle them.
Corruption and negligence issues were discussed. Ordinary Israelis lose out. The comptrollers report discussed what's ongoing. Little is being done nationwide to change things.
On December 5, Haaretz headlined "Israel ranks 39 on list of most corrupt countries," saying:
Its score keeps falling. Year-over-year, it dropped from 36 to 39.
TI said malfeasance forced several leaders from office last year. Little changed. Corruption and abuse of power persist globally.
Two-thirds of the countries ranked reflect extreme corruption. Distorted measures excluded America, Israel, and other Western states among the world's worst.
Independent states Washington targets scored poorly. Rankings were grossly distorted. Somalia ranked 174, North Korea 174, Afghanistan 174, Sudan 173, Venezuela 165, Syria 144, Russia 133, Iran 133, Lebanon 128, Belarus 123, Ecuador 118, Bolivia 105, China 80, and Cuba 58.
