Rantz: Dem bill cuts English reading and writing requirement for public safety jobs
This really makes no sense.
Democrats are close to passing a bill that strikes a requirement that some civil service employees can read and write in English. SB 5274 ditches the English language requirement for city firefighter, police, or sheriff’s office positions. The same is true for fish and wildlife officer positions. The bill also extends these jobs to allow lawful permanent residents to apply.
My neighbor owns a quarry and one of the inspectors did not speak English. So that does not surprize me
