City employees have a vested interest (financial) in perpetuating the system. That makes them predujiced in favor of the state.

More to the point, one of the parties in the case has direct control over their payroll, promotions, etc. I really don't think there would be any question of whether anyone working for a private employer should be allowed on a jury of any case where their employer was an interested party; why should government workers be treated differently?

I could answer that but will refrain and let one of the resident statists respond as that is sure to be more entertaining.
