Missoula Mayoral Candidate Out of Bounds, Literally
By Matt Singer, 5-19-05
Jim Edwards, the 5th declared candidate for Mayor and only one who is not a member of the City Council, is apparently not eligible for the office, not because he isn't on the Council, but because he isn't in the city. The Missoulian has the gritty details. Basically, though, I'm wondering if we should have trusted the position to someone who thinks it is unfair to not let someone who pays local taxes run for local office. Under that guideline, anyone who did business in multiple jurisdictions would get multiple votes. That seems a mite bit problematic.
