Huh? In my state, an ex-con cannot be a lawyer, schoolteacher, accountant,
become a barber, cosmetologist, surveyor, architect, get a hazardous
chemical endorsement for their driver's license, own an exterminating
company, nursery (either plant or kid), vote, become a notary, sell
securities, be a REALTOR(!), or drive a cab.
I'd be astonished to learn that ANY state outlaws discrimination against a
felon.
Which state would this be in?
The issue is housing. Not employment.
