1. Seems that someone is jealous.
Adam Adamati ,   Israel   (05.21.06)
Citizens for Proper Administration must be composed of small-minded histadrutniks and failed businesspersons. Who else would want to cause trouble when one successful non-monoply makes a good deal with another one. It is people like Citizens for Proper Administration who keep anti-semitism alive in the world.
2. What the hell has it got to do with the State Controller?
David ,   Karmiel   (05.21.06)
Iscar is a private company and it is a private deal between Buffet and Wertheimer. Once gain, Israeli bureaucracy is going to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. You want something to do Mr. State Controller, investigate why laws aren't enforced, why plea bargains result in appallingly light sentences for serious crimes, why cigarettes and liquor are still being sold to kids, how many kids arrive at school after having a few vodkas and so. Leave the private sector alone!
3. Buffet cancels trip.
Josh ,   Atlanta   (05.22.06)
Nevermind, I thought the headline was referring to Jimmy Buffet. I was going to say, I didn't even know he was on a world tour. I guess he's not.
4. Warren Buffet
Bill Pearlman ,   Chicago, USA   (05.23.06)
Warren Buffet, who from all accounts is a good man, is a hecsher when it comes to foreign investment. For Israel to put road blocks in front of this is so absurd it defies description. Perhaps Olmert and the rest of his gang have been living off the public trough a little too long. If Netanyahu was finance minister this wouldn't be happening.
5. Where is the state controller?

Why not investigate all the manpower companies and security companies that steal from their workers? We are suffering on every payday and he worries about a company that pays the workers on time,gives benefits,a real wage,security,holiday and overtime pay. Who do we write to to investigate the controller not doing his job? There is not one person in govt. who will even listen to us. There is not even a union to go to that will help us.
