I would be interested if you do hear an answer, maybe you can call in to WLS or Rush ;). I was listening to WLS online when that issue was brought up, but I had to go and didn’t get a chance to hear any of the discussion.
I’m guessing the residency requirement for city employees only applies once someone actually has the job. I don’t think this ruling would change that, especially since this case applied to election laws only.
