At 1 p.m., Michael Nutter will release his proposal to offer incentives for local companies that hire ex-offenders.
It is illegal -- ILLEGAL, FOLKS -- in the state of PA to refuse to hire someone because he or she is an ex-offender.
Still, ex-offenders report that it is very difficult to find a job, even the most entry-level. That was one of the issues discussed in the Daily News' recent report on job creation and violence reduction.
(Gee, if we don't find a way to find work for ex-offenders, I wonder how they will spend their free time?)
