I am looking for a list of cities in the United States that meet the
following criteria (in order of importance):
a. The city must be progressive (Madison, Seattle, Eugene, etc.)
b. The city must have a college that offers graduate studies for an MPA.
c. An Electrical Engineer can find a job in the city or surrounding
cities (20 miles).
d. New England, Midwest, Mid Atlantic states preferred.

Request for Question Clarification by smudgy-ga on 13 Aug 2004 07:21 PDT

Hi sparkchaser,

How many cities would you require in an answer in order for it to be
considered "satisfactory"? Are there any regions that you are
specifically -not- interested in?

Thanks,
smudgy.

I suppose 5 or more cities would constitute a 'satisfactory' answer.
I'd like to avoid any Southern States (exceptions: MO, VA, and MD).
Also want to avoid big cities like Boston and NYC.

Further clarification: 'relatively' progressive is fine too.

Further clarifications:
Has to be a 'good' school, preferrably a land grant or school that
offers agriculture.
