City Administration Hires But Most Not City Residents

@kenney. You have to pass the tests to qualify. Can't pass you are not getting hired, regardless of race or gender.

When I saw the picture of the "new fire fighters" I literally thought it was a picture from the 50's.    No Black men or women and no white females!      I wonder what the repercussions will be from that hire

You have to go out of the city to find people with a work ethic.   I want the best people for the job regardless of where they live.  Anyone with the work ethic needed to land a job in the fire department is also going to have the wherewithal to move out of the inner city hell holes and into houses out in the suburbs where the rest of us sane people live.

Its OK to work in Youngstown, but until the parasites are moved out it is no place to live.

Why does the individual's personal life matter?

This is not just a Youngstown problem. Many cities, townships, and counties are having problems hiring qualified people who actually live there.

They probably can't pass a drug test, can you?

According to today's newspaper, the Sammarone administration just hired several more firefighters.  Of the three firefighters mentioned, one lives in Austintown and another in Cortland.  For an administration claiming to be concerned about jobs for Youngstown residents, the Sammarone administration continues to drop the ball by not hiring the residents of Youngstown.
