@pghmedic580 The job description link says there is a residency requirement. Employment is conditional on living within the city limits, is that correct?

I really want to find a pair that are worth investing in because I love gadgets, but I just cannot justify the Raptors. Shears get left on scene, passed around to other providers and generally just wander off too often. I wish there were some nice ones in the 20 dollar range that were better...
