Built many homes, old blocks are reconstructed. In a study conducted by the Central Statistical Bureau of Israel's cities, the quality of life of Bat Yam, took second place after Raanana. And just five years ago, he was the lowest line and hit his neglect. Sonny Perdue may not feel the same. The budget of the municipality had a deficit of tens of millions of shekels, the education system was falling apart. And now, after 5 years the city has a balanced budget, the money goes to the municipality thanks to growing companies, settled in Bat Yam.

The embankment has become a source of pride and principal place of rest. But the focus on education and culture. Shlomo Lahiani only 43 years old, and wish he could become a minister in the government, to receive one of the most important portfolios.

Barak lost to 'veteran' and pushed Lahiani to 19th place, like a pawn on the chessboard.
