It¡¯s not actually Ward 6 that needs to
shrink in population but Ward 6 has been pegged as the easiest to use to
increase 7 & 8 population (which do need to increase.)? It appears that
Ward 5 needs to shrink but it¡¯s not geographically located near Wards 7 & 8
so it¡¯s difficult to do a quick move.
?
That said, I agree, what is the
alternative?

Redistricting Meeting with Councilmember Michael Brown

My understanding is that ward 6 needs to shrink geographically and
wards 7 and 8 each need to grow in order to maintain the legislatively-mandated
equal populations across all wards. What specific areas of Ward 6 *should* be
moved to ward 7 or 8? ?I understand what the arguments against moving
these sections of 6 (i.e. Hill East region) but since something definitely
needs to be moved what are the alternative proposals?

Neighbors,

Please consider attending this if you are able.? It is
important to show CM Brown that we ALL care about the integrity of Ward 6, and
that it is not worth his while to vote in favor of any dramatic shifts in
population from one Ward to another.

CM Brown is one of our At-Large Council Members, and is up for
election next year.
