They agreed to restart a residency committee that would have to give approval before any city employee — from the top department head down to the newest laborer — could live outside the city limits. If the committee does not grant a waiver, the employee must resign or find a place to live in the city. It’s not yet clear how the committee will handle the cases of employees who have already left or were given jobs here without having to move into the city. Mayor Brian U. Stratton has publicly defied the law since his election in 2004 by hiring department heads from other towns without requiring them to move.

The sheeple are home throwing up. They have had enough of Son of Sam and his stunad rubber stamps on the pathetic City Council. The same crap every year-Son of Sam refuses to cut anything-raises taxes and hot potatoes it to Mark Blanchfield.
Was at a sit down recently with other businesses leaders. They have all had enough. We know that the REPS have gone out of business and unplugged the phone. Something is happening. The NNTP or something else will fill the vacuum.

Now please explain to me, WHAT did the 100% DEM city council vote to do??????????? It is now Feb 2013.
Please, someone, anyone, especially any cheerleaders for the dems, tell me what did the dems vote to do and please tell me what has been the result over 3 years later??????
Oh yeah, that's right, DV cheerleader will not respond when the facts prove the city is failing big time
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
It is quite obvious that it's EVIDENCE like this which is why the dems REFUSE to post the minutes of the council meetings, they don't what the taxpayers to be able to research what happened yesterday
