Why This Vote Matters

The council extended the city's Local Employment Ordinance for six more months, until October 31, 2005. This law requires certain businesses to hire local residents for a percentage of their jobs, and it was set to expire at the end of April. The council passed the extension with broad support in a 6-1 vote, with one member absent. This gives the city more time to decide whether to make the employment requirements permanent or let them expire.
