"This city also has lots of the kinds of young, technologically savvy people the company likes to hire.”

And on the same day, this guy tells the rest of the country that the Bay Area is the best place to hire (see Wall Street Journal story of 11/5/09 titled "Google's Schmidt on What Sets Silicon Valley Apart").

It is inexcusable that you rewrote this story and deleted the CEO\'s statement, \"This city also has lots of the kinds of young, technologically savvy people the company likes to hire.” I agree with Pmancusi\'s comment above; the statement raises red flags indicating a discriminatory hiring practice. If anything, the Herald should follow up on the red flags not sanitizing the story.
