What are your thoughts on the new residency preference procedures? Civil Service no longer requires you to provide proof of residency at the the time of the test. The appointing department will now be responsible for determining if residency preference should be granted.

Just makes it that much easier to reach who they want to on the list. I see some problems with injunctions and court actions freezing hiring if someone feels like they have not been giving residency and feel they deserve it.

I'm interested to see how it works when departments send out certification cards. Departments will send out cards 2+1 for each position. I'm just waiting to see what happens when someones name isn't reached on the list, because the list above them is cluttered with people who claim residency in your town, without it somehow being certified by a local or government agency. I'm assuming, checking residency won't happen until after certification cards are sent out.
Talk about adding a shit load of time to the process... There should be a fine accessed if you claim residency and are found not to be a resident.
