Thus New York mayor foiled law against Kiryat Yoel '

Joy in Kiryat Yoel in New York last night (Thursday) when the townspeople were informed that the governor of New York decided at the last minute to cancel two laws approved by state legislatures in New York to curtail the freedom of Kiryat Yoel, thus expanding the boundaries and build thousands of apartments in the coming years.

For several years now the mayor of Kiryat Yoel Rabbi Abraham Wieder and city council members concluded that the area of the city cannot get more residents and any large areas are already built projects, if not expand the boundaries of the city - thousands will not find apartments to live in, which of course will lead to a crisis in real estate and exceed the price of apartments in the city.

Consequently, it was decided to expand the boundaries of the city and put another 2052 additional hectares into the Monroe County area of Kiryat Yoel, and any increase in the area of the city to -6070 acres.

As with any city expansion process, the decision to undergo various committees and approvals under the laws of committee meetings in New York City runs by the expansionary rather than by district, so according to the law committee should be under the control of Kiryat Yoel.

But residents of Monroe were uncomfortable with this extension, and they asked the court to transfer the Monroe County Commission and the city of Kiryat Yoel. Six months ago, after the election to 5 representatives of Monroe County and despite 2 lost and selected representatives hostile to the Kiryat Yoel, the court ruled that the Commission will also by the Kiryat Yoel and not Monroe County.

Indeed, last month there was a discussion on the Special Committee in Kiryat Yoel halls of the city, where the two sides to say what is on their hearts. Among other things, the committee settled hikind bear legislator and chairman of the Israel Rabbi Chaim David Tzooibl lectured and explained the importance of expanding the city limits,
In the coming days will take their decision to the Committee members Environmental Committee of the State of New York
And from there it will go to a vote of Monroe County.

But opponents remained idle. With some lawmakers are transferred two special new laws in New York State - Rule 185 in order to expand the city must have a solid majority of votes of Deputies,
3 will not be enough in front of 2 Monroe County approved the expansion of the city, and Rule 186 that the state has the authority to prevent the expansion of the city.

Both bills passed both houses of the Legislature and awaited the approval of the Governor of New York, under the law there are three possible governor - confirm, cancel or do nothing and then it goes to court, and yesterday at 11 pm - an hour before the cancellation rules, decided the governor of New York abolish the laws and Kiryat Joel enable the Commission hope to continue discussions within 6 weeks will vote in Monroe County, will likely be the expansion of the city.
