News in Brief Dan Biron, a veteran television director with Channel 1, yesterday announced he is running for mayor of Jerusalem on the Green Leaf Party (Ale Yarok) ticket. Biron officially presented the list to the elections commission yesterday, making him the first candidate to do so. The rest are expected to so today, and it seems mayor Uri Lupolianski is still leaning against running for a second term and honoring the rotation agreement he signed with Agudat Yisrael's Meir Porush five years ago. Six other parties presented their lists for the city council yesterday. (Jonathan Lis) The founder and former president of the Internet service provider Netvision, Ruth Alon, will run on the Mahapach ("Revolution") list in Haifa's municipal elections next month. Alon, 57, will be number two on the list, which is headed by former police major general Ya'akov Borovsky. "The time comes when you have the time and the psychological space to contribute," Alon said. "It's painful to see what's happening in Haifa; it hasn't progressed in 15 years. The proof is the young people, who are voting with their feet and leaving."
