The Strongest Woman in Netanya
Eighteen years as mayor of Netanya, the strongest woman in local
government and now Miriam Feirberg lists of titles is added the
questionable title - suspect of taking a bribe. Four times did she win the
elections in the city that hasn’t stopped growing for a minute. Up until
recently she held almost all the credit for the building boom [lit.
momentum] of the city that became the seventh largest in Israel during her
time in office. Now this boom becomes many question marks floating over
her head, while the main claim is that she allegedly took (money) into her
own pocket for promoting building projects in the city. Some would say
that Feirberg is Netanya and vice versa. This strong woman listed quite a
few achievements over the years, economic and tourist-related. Feirberg
enjoyed the image of the knight of the war on organized crime that had
spread through the city. Now, the police suspect, crime has reared its head
in the mayor’s office as well.
