San Antonio still in the hunt for NCAA Men's Final Four
- W. Scott Bailey
- Reporter/Project Coordinator- San Antonio Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | Facebook
The NCAA has named eight finalist cities to host future Men's Final Four basketball championships.
San Antonio has made the cut, along with Atlanta, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, New Orleans, North Texas (Arlington), Phoenix/Glendale and St. Louis.
In November, NCAA officials will select the cities which will host Men's Final Four tournaments in 2017-2020. San Antonio has hosted the event in 1998, 2004 and 2008. The Alamo City was not awarded a Final Four in the last four-year bid cycle, which concludes in 2016.
The San Antonio Local Organizing Committee is leading the Alamo City's bid process. That committee is comprised of representatives from the University of Texas at San Antonio, the City of San Antonio and San Antonio Sports.
"Many, many people with the city, the county, San Antonio Sports and UTSA have very worked hard over the past 15 to 20 years to make San Antonio one of the premier locations for NCAA championship events," says UTSA Athletics Director Lynn Hickey.
"Everyone on this bid team has worked together to aggressively position San Antonio and the Alamodome as a contender for this event and other events of national significance," says San Antonio Sports President and CEO Russ Bookbinder.
Earlier this month, I reported that there was some consensus among a number of stakeholders that the city would have to make significant improvements to the nearly 21-year-old Alamodome if San Antonio had any hope of securing more major events like Final Four championships.
Bookbinder says the costs of such upgrades could cost more than $20 million.
Michael Sawaya, director of the city's Convention, Sports and Entertainment Facilities department, agrees that such improvements are necessary for San Antonio to compete for these high-profile events.
W. Scott Bailey covers health care, tourism, sports business, economic development; he also plans and edits some special reports.

Imagine Connor Taking Care of You
She held onto the table for balance as another coughing fit shook her body. Every time one happened it was always accompanied with black spots clouding her vision and a throbbing headache. This was no exception, but now her throat was inflamed making it difficult to swallow anything that would help. She was just thankful for the fact that Connor was running errands around the homestead, the last thing he needed to worry about was her being sick.
She pulled out a chair before taking a seat and resting her head in her arms on the tabletop. "I don't know how much longer I can keep this up," she groaned; referring to keeping her cold a secret from him. A few moments passed while she stayed in that position hoping it would allow the aching to fade away, but to her dismal, it didn't.
Maybe some tea could help. She thought to herself as she rose to her feet. A wash of lightheadedness came over her, leaving her to stand there gripping onto the chair until it passed. Ugh, this cold is terrible!
Moving slowly, she wandered around the kitchen gathering the supplies to make the tea, nearly dropping the kettle into the fire in the process. Finally, with it set she turned to get a mug, only to fall victim to another round of coughing.
"Y/N?" She heard Connor call from the front door; her heart dropping into her stomach. "Y/N? Are you alright?" He asked as he quickly moved through the doorway and to her side.
She nodded quickly, as if to answer him but in reality was trying to shake awake the spots. "I- I'm fine." She sucked in a breath, "I choked on my spit is all." She lied, hoping he would accept it.
He pulled her face up to face him. She could feel the heat radiating off her cheeks onto his hands as he looked her over with anxious eyes, "How long have you been sick?" he asked, clearly annoyed that he hadn't picked up on it sooner.
"I'm not sick," she snarled, pulling away from him, nearly falling over in the process.
He quickly caught her by the waist, "Do not lie to me." He brushed a piece of her hair away, "Lie down while I go get the doctor."
She pulled back on Connor's hand to stop him, "I'm fine, really. There's no need to fuss."
He looked at her confused, "Why would I not fuss about the one I love?"
Her heart fluttered, he was getting too good at swooning her. "You're busy as it is. You don't need to worry about me."
His brow furrowed at her words and he shook his head. "I worry about you day and night, no matter what," he said as he leaned down to kiss her forehead.
"There's no need. A home remedy should help. It's only a little head-cold." She replied, hoping to take his mind off of it.
He searched her face for any true discomfort. She knew he could see right through her façade but was smart enough to know better than to press on. With a reluctant nod he agreed, "But. If your cold progresses I am going to have the doctor come."
She agreed, giving him a brief nod.
Over the course of the next week the effects of her cold lessened, thanks to a daily cup of hot tea and sage. She was feeling quite proud of herself that morning as she came bouncing down the stairs to meet Connor, who was standing in the front doorway.
"See, I told you a home remedy would do it." She beamed, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him into a tight hug.
He smiled at her, squeezing her back before pressing a hard kiss to her forehead, "You were right."
"Come again?" She asked, cupping her ear to hear.
He rolled his eyes, "You were right." He replied with a brief laugh.
"Remember that." She said poking his chest before running out the front door.
He chuckled at her; he would never tell her he had been slipping medicine into her tea, nor would he ever feel bad about it. Deep down, he knew sooner or later she would find out, whether it be by the slip of his lips or the doctors but for now, he'd let her have her fun; gloating and what-not. He was just beyond happy to see her being her healthy, bubbly-self once again. That, to him, meant more than anything.

Read Complaint Details
Additional NotesComplaint: Challenge Financial, is Reporting on my ******** Credit Report WRONGFULLY and FLAGRANTLY, that I am still in possession of a 2004 Vehicle that was Voluntarily returned to them back in April of 2014. Even though Challenge Financial Failed to abide by California Laws regarding Repossession by hiring an Unlicensed Repo Agent to retrieve the vehicle, they now are commiting clear acts of Fraud by Willfully and knowingly putting FALSE and Inaccurate information on my credit report after repeated polite attempts by myself asking for the corrections to the Credit Report to be made. I have documented Proof on the NOI of the date of sale of the Vehicle from SD Mission Auto Sales in April of 2014 (Not Challenge Financial) that I had to go to the dealership and retrieve myself, as they refused to give me the information. Challenge Financial, after repeated polite requests for the proper documentation refused to cooperate and responded by telling me "Were gonna have fun destroying your credit". Of course Challenge Financial is going to deny these allegations due to a lack of integrity on their part and I am prepared to provide detailed proof if necessary. Desired Settlement: I Expect and DEMAND 2 conditions be met IMMEDIATELY without EXCUSE, BS or DELAY: 1) You will Remove the inaccurate information on my credit report on the "open auto loan" that should have been closed back in April of 2014 since I no longer have the vehicle and it was Repoed and Sold by their dealership in April 2014. 2)You will Apologize for the despicable and undisciplined attitudes of your employees handling of my account and the way I was spoken to that I DO despite any excuse you might conjure, have proof of. Business Response: First we sincerely apologize for any unprofessional treatment this customer received from Challenge Financial employees. There is never an excuse to treat customers unprofessionally and we have reprimanded the employees involved with this account. In response to ******** reporting, it appears all our reporting on this account has been accurate. The customers report is out of date. We stopped reporting to ******** in April 2014 due to the previous complaint the customer lodged (BBB Complaint #*******). It is our policy to stop all credit reporting when a customer disputes the status of their account to avoid reporting errors. This avoided the customer receiving a Repossession and Charge-off report that would have been accurate, but would have severely damaged their credit. This current compliant is the first time we have been made aware that the customer had a dispute with their credit report. At the customer's option we can begin reporting on their credit again but that would likely hurt the customer's credit. Alternatively we can remove their credit report completely, but the customer must contact us so we know how to proceed. On the repossession of the customer's vehicle, it is important to understand Challenge provided loan servicing on this account, which means the Dealer (SD Mission Auto Sales) that sold the vehicle and originated the loan retained ownership (lienholder status), and paid Challenge to administrate the loan. In this case, Challenge had no involvement in the decision, ordering, or carrying out of the Repossession. We were unable to furnish documents or information regarding the repossession because we had no access to that information. Our staff noted in our system at the time that they informed the customer that they needed to contact the dealer in regards to the repossession, but clearly we did not sufficiently communicate and convey that fact. We apologize once again that the customer had a bad experience with Challenge Financial. We will use this as an opportunity to improve in both our professionalism and clear communication skills. I welcome speaking with the customer at anytime to ensure we bring this issue to an agreeable conclusion. **** *********** Challenge Financial ************ |

Additional NotesComplaint: The payment for his vehicle was made by billpay on 02/12/2014 as evidenced by the transaction history on my account. I received a text from a friend advising me Challenge Financial was trying to get a hold of me. I called an spoke with Angela and advised her the payment had been made via billpay and I had proof. She proceeded to advise they do not accept billpay? (over a years worth of payments were made via billpay) and that I was 12 days past due and I needed to resolve this now. I asked for her fax number and advised her I would fax her the payment history as well as a cease and desist for harrassing references especially when the payment had already been made. She proceeded to threaten me and advised then they would just pick up the vehicle? at 12 days past due? really? I am executing my right to cease and desist to prevent these hoodlums from harrassing me and my family needlessly, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE PAYMENT HAD ALREADY BEEN MADE!02/12/2014 CHALLENGE FINANC (BILL PAYMT) / Withdrawal-ACH-A-METAVANTE CORP CHALLENGE FINANC (BILL PAYMT) (eff. date 02/12/2014) $378.00 I would be more than happy to provide you with a full history showing my payment history and demonstrate what I say is the truth. Desired Settlement: I would like for them to provide a due date change to the 15th of the month and honor my request to cease and desist. They also need to review and monitor their employees for malicious and vindictive collection practices. Business Response: Complaint Case #: ******* Better Business Bureau, First and foremost I would like to let you know Challenge Financial Services takes all complaints very seriously. Ms. ****** states in her claim she made a payment through bill pay and that we told her we do not accept it. What was explained to her was that her due date is on the 5th of the month and that bill pay usually takes about 5-7 days to send the payment to us. The main concern was the fact that a late fee would be assessed. We received Ms. ******'s payment on 02/18/14 and it showed the payment had been submitted on 02/10/14. Unfortunately, we have no control of Ms. ******'s bank and when and how they will submit her payment. I have also reviewed her account and we have never had any issues with Ms. ****** so I don't understand why she would feel she was being harassed. The telephone numbers given to us by her have been changed or disconnected so we were trying to get in touch with her to verify the payment was made and to update her new information. I apologize for any misunderstandings with my employees.
Sincerely, **** ********** Branch Manager Challenge Financial Services
Better Business Bureau: Business Response: Complaint Case #:******* Better Business Bureau, Ms. ****** states on her current complaint that she sent 2-payments to be posted on her account. At that time it was explained to her we would not advance the account but would posted towards her principal. This is to her benefit, as this being a simple interest loan; she would be paying less interest towards the principal. I have reviewed her account and at no time did she have a problem with any of this until recently. Additionally, in several occasions she has been offered to have her ledger be either faxed or emailed to her so she can review every payment made and how they had been posted. We have attempted to help Ms. ****** by giving her an extension (deferment) so her account would be current. Her account is in no way locked and if she wants to make a payment through out automated system she is more than able to do so. If Ms. ****** would like to contact me directly she can do so at 602-347-6080 extension ***. I have attached the previous complaint response. Sincerely, **** ********** Branch Manager Challenge Financial Services First and foremost I would like to let you know Challenge Financial Services takes all complaints very seriously.

Additional NotesComplaint: ****** from Challenge Financial treats me very disrespectfully. He calls me everyday the day my car payment is due my statement states that I have a 10 day period to pay and this company calls me demanding the payment. Yes I have paid late and paid late charges but ****** disrespects me by asking what's the deal and when I explain to him he states that it's not good enough. I told him I can't always answer his calls because I am at work and they still call. I left a message that I mailed a check this past Friday and he was still harassing me I don't answer his calls because I'm scared he will talk down to me again and I don't have the money at the time what more can I do? He called again today stating that they were going to take further action on my car and someone was coming to my house I am 20 days past due I told him I left a message I mailed the check he got rude and said they are still taking action. I got into an argument with him which is ridiculous because the car is being paid he stated it's not when I feel like it and etc. My dad called to ask what's the problem and he also disrespected my dad and talked about how my what kind of father raises his family to be like us. What kind of company talks about someone else's family? Can they treat me and my dad like that? I am having anxiety for the way they are treating me they state the contract but I don't have one or a hard copy with them I am afraid they are going to take my car when I am paying late but still current. They told my dad they can use those kind of tactics in order to get their money I thought they were just financing my car and not a debt collector but I do pay them I'm not behind my my car where they repocess my car so why are they treating me like this Desired Settlement: I don't want challenge financial to have ****** to work on my account and I want them to take action on how they treat their clients . I want to make sure nothing like this happens to other clients Business Response: We apologize for your disappointment in the handling of your account. At Challenge Financial, we take customer complaints very seriously and hope that we can use them as a learning tool to help improve our customer's experience with our company.

Additional NotesComplaint: "******" Representing Challenge Financial Services in Orange CA, has been Rude, Threatening, Obnoxious and has violated my rights under the Rosenthal Act and FDCPA.She has called my employer if my payment was one day late, threatening to personally arrest me and my wife. When I asked them to work out a payment arrangement so that I could pay them two days past my payment date because of my switching to a new job and the pay dates shifted they refused, repoed my car, then gave me the run around about Mission Auto Sales being the leon holder which wasn't true because i was paying them and its so stated on the contract in Ink, and are now refusing to tell me where the car is so I can retrieve my personal belongings. All I want is the pictures of my mother and my two folding chairs in the trunk. Nothing more. I mean they belong to me. Desired Settlement: Since they took whats not theirs, I want my things returned nothing more. Im honest thats all. Unlike ******. Business Response: We apologize that Mr. ******* did not have a positive experience with Challenge Financial. After reading the complaint, it appears Mr *******'s concerns fall into two areas. First, he feels he was treated unprofessionally by our staff. Second, he takes issue with the handling of his repossession and more specifically his access to personal items that were in the vehicle at time of repossession. Each issue is discussed in detail below. We hope this response will address Mr. *******'s concerns. I am available any time to work with Mr. ******* if he would like to further discuss his complaint. On the first topic of treatment by our staff, we work hard to foster a culture that complies with all aspects of the FDPCA and furthermore treats all our customers with professionalism. Complaints like Mr. *******'s are rare and this is the first one we have seen regarding threatening behavior. To address this issue. I have counseled all our staff members that interacted with Mr. *******. We did a formal review of the FDPCA regulation and reinforced that all customers are to be treated with respect and professional in all situations. This counseling was documented in each staff members permanent record. On the second topic of handling of the vehicle repossession, it is first important to explain that Mr. *******'s account is only serviced by Challenge Financial on behalf of the lienholder, SD Mission Auto Sales, the dealer that sold Mr. ******* the vehicle. This means Challenge is responsible for administering the loan (i.e. Sending statements, taking payments, contacting customers, etc.). The dealer retains legal ownership of the vehicle and decides when a vehicle is repossessed. In this case the dealer also placed the order for repossession, and maintained custody of the vehicle after repossession. Challenge did not make the decision to repossess the vehicle, and Challenge did not have custody of the vehicle at any time. That being said, the timing of the repossession does seem appropriate because the customer was 52 days past due at the time of the repossession (on or about 4/4/14), and had broken two promises to pay on 3/7/14 and 3/27/14. As to the customer's personal items, we did explain to the customer when he called our offices on 4/4/14 that we did not have custody of the vehicle and that he needed to contact the dealer for the location of the vehicle and his personal items. We then followed up with the dealer on the customer's behalf, and confirmed that the vehicle was at the dealership. We asked the dealer to contact the customer to tell them where the vehicle was and to coordinate picking up personal items. It is our understanding that the dealer did contact the customer. As of today, 4/16/14 it is our understanding that the customer has not made arrangements with the dealer to pick up any personal items. If the Mr. ******* is having difficulty working with the dealer we are happy to contact the dealer on his behalf, but ultimately this is an issue that must be worked out between the dealer and Mr. *******. Sincerely, **** *********** Challenge Financial |

Additional NotesComplaint: In mid August 2013 I received a phone call from Challenge Financial Services (*****) informing me that the company purchased my car loan from Auto Credit Acceptance and that they would be handling all aspects of my account. I was informed that that I would be receiving information on how to make payments in the mail. During that conversation I requested a Payment Date Change from the (2nd to the 15th) she replied "No problem I will handle that" The Agent (*****) did not disclose to me that any further action on my part was required to make this happen. In October my account was switched to 2nd Agent (****)the date was never changed and I am still accruing late fees. In December, 3rd Agent (*****)same outcome,still no change. There appears to be no one working to help me end the late fees. After three agents and six months later still no change! I have sent nine faxes regarding this matter, still the date has not been changed. There are compounded hidden fees throughout their payment process. Within the 30 day payment cycle a Recovery Agent arrived at my house with a dog demanding car or payment. This is bad business from beginning to end. Their car payments are also linked to fees. Throughout this process I have discovered many deceptive practices and hidden fees. Desired Settlement: I would like to have the date changed and reimbursed from initial Date Change Request. In addition, I would like the company made aware of this complaint. Moving forward I would like to see this company involved in best business practices. I would like to receive fair,non harassment non threatening and non-condescending consumer service from the institution that I am in contract with to end. Business Response: Borrower loan was acquired by Challenge Financial Services (CFS) August 29, 2013 and first communication with borrower was 9-9-2013. Due Date Change requested and paperwork was mailed to given address. Borrower was informed that this request in writing and signed by the borrower is required by law as a due date change alters the original due date of the contract. 9-16-2013 borrower called that no paper work was received paper work was once again mailed to given address. Borrower called in 10-8-2013 borrower called in that due date change paper work was faxed in, but did not know to what number. Borrower was informed no paper work was received. Borrower got hostile and terminated call. 10-12-2013 CFS representative called customer to inform her no paper work had been received and inform customer again that it is required by law before CFS can make the change. 10-22-2013 customer has been non-responsive to calls for 10 days. CFS sent customer letter informing her that an agent would be sent to the given address to retrieve due date change paper work. 10-25-2013 customer called in to inform CFS that he unemployment check had not been received. Due to no signed paper work for due date change customers account was technically 23 days past due. 10-30-2013 customer called CFS to confirm that two payments were made at Wells Fargo Bank to CFS account and that she would forward due date change paperwork. 11-21-2013 customer called in and was told that due date change paperwork was never received. Customer was rude, abrasive and terminated call. 12-12-2013 the borrower was once again contacted by CFS that there was no paper work. 12-23-2013 the borrower was contacted by CFS and informed that the due date paper work was finally received. 1-29-2014 CFS contacted borrower to inform her that her January payment at Wells Fargo was not received in the CFS account. CFS requested a copy of the payment receipt to track the payment for the borrower, but the borrower did not have it. It was suggested the borrower go back to the branch and speak to the manager to track the payment. Same day borrower called from the branch CFS supervisor spoke to the branch manager who initiated an investigation. CFS placed customers account on hold pending the outcome. 1-31-2013 Wells Fargo credited the CFS account for the borrowers payment. As of today the borrower account is paid current with no outstanding fees. CFS abides by all sales and finance contract laws as set forth by the State of California. CFS does exercise best practices abiding to the letter of these laws as was displayed by our need to have the signed due date change paper work. The customer's contract is a typical Simple Interest Sales and Finance contract with no hidden fees as purported in the complaint. The borrowers account was subject to late fees due to the failure to properly submit the due date change request paper work. CFS made multiple attempts to assist the borrower to obtain the necessary paper work. At no time did CFS representatives engage in disrespectful behavior or abusive language or terminate any calls with the borrower. Any such observed behavior would be grounds for immediate behavior. There was never a recover agent dispatched on this account. A field agent contracted by CFS did make contact with the borrower when CFS lost communications with the borrower, but CFS did send the borrower a letter (letter of 10-22-2013) at the given address days before the agents arrival. As stated the borrowers due date change was made when the paper work was received 12-23-2013 and the borrowers last payment was made on time. |

Es increible e injusto Business Response: After reviewing the account notes the borrowers never indicated to CFS that the unit and contract miles were different. Prior financing any CFS auto loan. CFS policy is to contact all borrowers and verify all documentation provided by dealer and borrowers. The borrowers account has been in excess of 30 days past due twenty six times. Further the borrowers has been assessed a late fee ( payment received in excess 10 days past due) on 44 occasions. In addition CFS has granted the borrowers 4 extensions ( payment deferred) as recently as April 2013. Our notes also indicate that on 9/25/2013 our CFS representative offer assistance with repairs and borrowers refused. Every effort was made to work with the borrowers. Borrower's contract explains on "OTHER IMPORTANT AGREEMENTS SECTION 3. F" the procedures once the vehicle is sold. Also a certified letter & payment account history report was send to the borrowers in Spanish and English. The deficiency letter shows the break down balance of the amount owed. |

Q. What do you regret most?
A. Not much. I've made a ton of mistakes, but they've all led me to this point. But I often regret not bringing a map with me in the car.
Q. What's your fantasy profession?
A. Novelist! I can't imagine anything better than this. Though I think it would be fun to drive a Zamboni or operate a forklift.
Q. If you could be any person or thing, who or what would it be?
A. It would be cool to be a cat for a while. I'd get to stay up all night, see in the dark, get fed and petted for doing pretty much nothing.
Q. What's your greatest fear?
A. Not being liked. A close second would be admitting my greatest fear.

Last year I posted a blog to the Allstream portal about how tools like Cloud-based Microsoft Outlook services can help you implement personal productivity best practices, like 'Getting Things Done'.
This type of functionality is also possible with the Google toolset, indeed to be fair this is one way to see how Google outshines the competition in terms of their Cloud fit for this type of agile working.
Google Enterprise
The primary challenge with defining 'Google Enterprise', as in how the Google cloud suite can be used by large, and small, businesses to better improve activities like office work, is that there is so much of it.
From their best known Search engine through Google Compute for "IaaS" – Infrastructure as a Service, like Amazon, through their PaaS which is the Azure equivalent, and multiple SaaS products, Google is a never-ending treasure trove of Cloud assets.
Getting Things Done
Therefore like the Outlook Cloud Services example, the first most likely area to consider is the basics of email and office tools.
For this there is Google Apps for Business, which includes GMail and the Drive products, the equivalents of Word, Excel, Powerpoint etc., that are different by operating entirely online. There is a list of tools like Groups, Sites and Contacts for enhancing your own personal productivity and also achieving this through collaboration with others.
Indeed here they quite specifically describe how you can Get Things Done.
This is the 'pure play' Cloud mantra, i.e. it's not about having an offline document that you then use email to share online, but rather you simply have an online document.
The speed and ease of Google this way also lends itself to setting up a personal system like GTD. This is simply about better "labeling" the types of work you do so it's more organized, and GMail has a powerful way of also tagging your emails this way.
In short everything you are looking for in terms of agile and effective office working is a real sweet spot for the Google tools.
Coming next – Salesforce 2.0 and Google UC
In this ongoing Google Enterprise series we'll also introduce the other key product areas, like 'Google UC' – Where these office apps intersect with online Unified Communications, and then also "Salesforce 2.0″ – How you can leverage this social media style of work to better manage sales operations…

By Liz McMillan While DevOps most critically and famously fosters collaboration, communication, and integration through cultural change, culture is more of an output than an input.

Martin Brundle was the highlight of the race for me, moving up from 4th place to challenge for the lead in his Austin A35 (car# 1), before contact with the leader punctured a tyre and ultimately put him out of the race. His efforts were more than appreciated by the crowd though! Tom Kristensen took the victory in his first visit to the Revival (driving an Austin A95 Westminster), after a good race with Patrick Watts (in the Volvo Amazon 122S) was cut short by mechanical failure.

Netanyahu cabinet 390. (photo credit:Maariv Pool)
On Tuesday evening Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu introduced a series of taxes and budget cuts that were designed to help Israel meet its newly increased target deficit of three percent. The slackened pace of Israel's economy is now forcing Netanyahu to take painful action after three and a half years in power."Anyone who says that money can be spent without a thought, without being able to cover it, for populist purposes, is simply placing the State of Israel at risk and could easily lead it to the situation we've seen in leading European economies, which are on the verge of bankruptcy," said the prime minister.Among other steps, Netanyahu has indicated that VAT will be raised next week to 17%, taxes will be increased on alcohol, cigarettes and gasoline, and all ministries will have their annual budgets cut this year to save NIS 700 million immediately.A new tax on people who earn more than a million shekels a year is also expected to be imposed in 2013.Those are legitimate decisions that cannot have been easy to make. With elections in the offing, no one can honestly believe Netanyahu to be eager to take measures that are almost certain to upset voters.Members of the opposition have already begun to stoke that public anger with alacrity. A statement issued by Kadima accused Netanyahu of "carrying out a confirm kill on the middle class. After having turned his back on the public that serves and the middle class, Netanyahu is now giving them the finger as well."Labor Party Chairwoman Shelly Yechimovich similarly criticized Netanyahu's plan for disproportionately hurting the middle class and the poor, accusing Netanyahu of "dismantling the middle class and crushing it, and dangerously deepening the gaps between the poor and rich. An across-the-board cut of a billion shekels will bring the middle class to its knees. Netanyahu created the deep hole in the budget when he recklessly lowered justified taxes on the rich, and now he is imposing VAT–a cruel, unjust and unintelligent tax that affects the poorest as well."Yechimovich was right in her identification of the source of the problem, though only partially so.The "hole" in the budget was produced not only by lowered taxes on the rich and on powerful corporations.As economists and government spokespersons have correctly noted, the increase in the deficit is also the product of an Israeli economy that has slowed down in response to factors that lie beyond the prime minister's control, such as a decline in exports to Europe as a result of the economic crisis gripping the continent.But the government's defenders are also only partially right. The deficit has increased as a result of government spending as well. In his public statements on Tuesday, Netanyahu spoke proudly about the relative stability of the local economy in the past few years against the backdrop of the global crisis, saying that Israel had not been equally affected "because we kept the rules of responsible economic behavior and we will continue to do so. We know that there is one simple rule in economics that has to be kept: 'there aren't any free lunches.'" So where is the money being spent? Netanyahu cited two examples, both of which were geared to shield him from the opposition's criticism. The first was security, in which Netanyahu specifically cited the billions that have been allocated to the construction of a new (and popular) fence along the Egyptian border. The second was free education for preschoolers that, as one of the Trajtenberg Committee recommendations, was geared to immunize him from attacks of the sort put forward by Yechimovich.But Netanyahu refrained from mentioning the billions that his government has spent on issues and projects that are less likely to be looked upon kindly by the general public, which is now being called upon to shoulder the cost of the budget crisis.According to a study that was reported earlier this week by Calcalist, the state loses an estimated NIS 9.4 billion every year as a result of the extraordinarily low participation of haredi men in the workforce.Some of that money is paid out to haredi men in the form of stipends that are provided by the Education Ministry and the National Insurance Institute.Another significant portion of the money is lost to state coffers in the form of discounts on municipal tax, government housing and the failure of this large group of able-bodied people to contribute tax revenues.Needless to say, NIS 9.4b. is a lot of money, more than twice the projected revenues that are to stem from the hike in VAT.The Netanyahu government has also been extraordinarily generous in spending money on controversial projects in the West Bank. In the past few months the prime minister has readily dedicated tens of millions of shekels to cover the costs of relocating the squatters in Migron and Givat Haulpana, and by so doing to buy the silence of the settler lobby and the right wing within his party and government.Another fresh example of unnecessary spending, geared to satisfy the hunger of Netanyahu's political allies on the right, was provided just last week, when Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz announced that NIS 50m., would be allocated to the academic center in Ariel, once it was made into a university.The budget crisis Israel is facing is not solely the product of global trends and "populist" spending on education, welfare, housing, transportation and healthcare. This crisis also stems from the sumptuous "free lunches" that Netanyahu's allies, the haredim and the pro-settler lobby, have been served by this government for the past three and a half years, well above and beyond their equal due as fellow Israeli citizens.That unconscionable flow of huge sums of money is the first thing that Netanyahu needs to cut off if he truly wishes to behave with the fiscal responsibility he so sternly preaches to the general public.The author is a veteran Israeli writer and translator.
