@rickhasen@fstonenyt@EleanorRandolph@zephyrteachout Same with residency requirements for cops, firefighters? -
@MichaelMcGough3@rickhasen@EleanorRandolph She's referring to the 5yr rule, far too rigid. But a lesser rule makes sense for pols & cops. -

@fstonenyt@MichaelMcGough3@EleanorRandolph I don't think so for pols. Assumes voters are stupid/can't judge who wd serve their interests -
@rickhasen@MichaelMcGough3@EleanorRandolph Interesting thought. We've never really discussed eliminating that, but will. -

@fstonenyt@MichaelMcGough3@EleanorRandolph residency fights not only deprive voters of choices but can lead to selective prosecution
