I worked a job years ago as the payroll supervisor. I cleared data for employment and I hired within my own department.

I have worked for a long time as a bookkeeper for small businesses that don’t need a full time person.

It is beyond my comprehension that anyone would remove the ability of an employer to inquire about the criminal background of a prospective employee.

Why would I turn loose a criminal with my trucks & equipment???

Why would I want a criminal to be handling money at the counter?

Why would I want a criminal to have access to my security operations and figure out how to steal my inventory?

Why would I want my entire business reputation in jeopardy because I hired a criminal?

This is just plain wrong.

IF this politician wants to hire blindly, let him. Let HIS family lose their businesses. I don’t think any other business should be deliberately put into jeopardy because of such a law.

IF I were in that state, I would continue my OWN hiring practices. I would even consider a lie-detector test.

At least Mosby’s logic works here:

“The United States has been doing its very best to criminalize its citizens since 1970. We are exceeding our goals. As such, the box doesn’t mean much anymore, so we are going to make it illegal to ask. It’s a win-win for us - if you ask about criminality, we will arrest you, and if you don’t, you are helping us further mainstream our efforts.

We’d ask for your support of this bill, but frankly, we are going to get what we want no matter what.”

With the number of unemployed people to choose from if I am looking for a new employee:

I have the right to select the best person I can.

That includes eliminating those with a criminal background.

How would this politician like to hire a housekeeper—a nanny—or a tutor for his children without a background check into their criminal history?

I’ll bet that he has more assets to steal, more identity to steal, and more high priced items in his domain that I do. I don’t want a criminal on my property. I don’t want any employer put into this position. Eventually, the employee must deal with the customers...and who knows what could go wrong?

I smell a person who wants us all to ‘do as he says-—not as HE would do’.
