His support of the FOP's push to allow City Police to live outside of the area they serve was what changed mymind completely. I was all set to vote for him, but I wll take a young man in office that is willing to bring life to this city over making our streets unsafe any day. Clearly the economy of Pittsbirgh will be in crisis should Mr. Desantis become our Mayor. I spoke with numerous people today and every single one of them changed their vote and said that if Mr. Desantis won the election they would "move out of the city immediatley". What a stupid thing to do. He may have gotten roughly 1000 votes, but lost most of the residents vote.Shellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04687493377388483087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-27178773952459432982007-10-20T18:59:00.000-04:002007-10-20T18:59:00.000-04:0060 college credits is the requirement.60 college credits is the requirement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7481330.post-2758820762692292772007-10-20T12:03:00.000-04:002007-10-20T12:03:00.000-04:00Another issue that is being overlooked in all the ...Another issue that is being overlooked in all the police chatter with the FOP is the education requirements.<BR/><BR/>Is college education, courswork or some other life-long academic learning going to be a part of the police hiring formula?<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I should email that to Bob Mayor for one of the debates.Mark Rauterkushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157914569686528007noreply@blogger.com
