Felons allowed to apply for city jobs!

[lalynch]

How are felons who have served their time and been released from prison supposed to make a living if they can't work?

There are programs to get felons to work. Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency of Wyandotte has such a program. And businesses get some sort of a tax credit if they hire felons. My husband's cousin owns a car wash in Lenawee County and often hires felons from the local prison for the car wash.

Yes! A car wash job is exactly the sort of thing that will turn one away from a life of crime.

I'm not quite sure of the statistics, but I think most of the elected officials have committed felonies while in office.

What is the big deal? Give these folks a real chance at a new start.
