Her run at state government wasn't all that hot either. Somehow, she defeated Mike Turner...Mike was MUCH better as a mayor of Dayton than a Congressman.

Pretty nervy to demand that someone living outside the city move in to keep their jobs when state law says in essence that it is illegal to do that. #3, Municipalities all over are doing this to keep their employees from, in effect, voting with their feet.

Employees would naturally gravitate towards this if they thought the city to be a good and safe place to live, raise kids, and send kids to school. I think you will find that those who want to live outside the city are very often concerned about schools and safety. #1, exactly.

I would want teachers, policemen and firefighters, etc. to be an active part of the community. I like the fact that my kids teachers go to the same school system. It's nice seeing their teachers helping out at the church festivals and such. However, forcing it on them is clearly wrong. Maybe these mayors should be doing more to make their cities into place people will voluntarily live. This mayor is sending a serious subliminal message to people deciding where to live. IE: We have to force people to live here. Improve the city and in time the majority of people will live closer to where they work. I’m somewhat conflicted on these issues.
