According to a report, the tax authorities have started tracking the various rabbonim and private kashrut authorities. To their credit, the authorities say the various "badatzim" are all cooperating with them and giving them the information requested - information such as what companies they are supervising and payment details.
One comment I saw left me a bit perturbed.
The deputy director of the Tax Authority said "... we are going to use our intelligence services to check into their activities... we have hair-raising data in our hands about the expansive salaries being taken by some of the directors of the badatzim."

So what? These are businesses. The directors work hard to make their businesses successful and profitable. They don't deserve to earn a high salary? Does the tax authority say such things about bank directors, lawyers, hospital administrators, directors of the electric company, of Bezeq, etc etc etc? Only when the director of a Badatz earns a high salary is it "hair raising data"?
Just like anybody else is entitled to earn a good living for working hard, so Badatz directors are entitled to that just the same..
