Impact analysis
Troy could rack up legal and administrative costs defending the move—and lose free volunteer labor in the process.
Incumbents and city officials who avoid a new challenger may benefit politically, though the source doesn’t document any formal advantage.
The fired volunteer, voters who lose a choice, and residents who might think twice about civic service are all potentially hurt.
