what do you feel we can improve the quality of people that we hire in these powerful positions? what rules or hiring requirements would you make applicants do to get hired?
i feel that we can make them live in the poorest or "hood" neighborhoods for a few months and feel and experience how the "hood" people live and to make them know what they are up against. what rules i would make is to make community service twice a week or month just too keep inn touch with the roots of the city and/or to know their areas more.
