Omaha City Lawyers See Merger as "Problematical"

Aren't lawyers supposed to be experts with the written word? Apparantly someone in the City Law Department doesn't know how to use their spell check.

In an Omaha World-Herald article, Omaha city lawyers raised concerns about a potential merger of city and county governments. Issues such as violation of the principal of "one man, one vote" and of Omaha receiving preferential treatment to other cities in Douglas County were highlighted in the memo.

A key quote: "That broad nature makes this latter question problematical,".

What was not highlighted was whether such a merger would involve hiring attorneys who could proofread before releasing memos to their clients or the press.
