[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all there isn’t a history of using at large districts to deny representation. Second, the current system has both at large and districts— no idea what you mean by “so much of the council’s power” except trolling. [/quote] How can you say there isn't a history of using at-large seats to deny representation? It certainly limits the ability of some groups to get representation on the board. And by power, I mean it heavily skews the board in favor of the majority, far beyond what is proportional in the electorate. Nearly half of the board is at-large seats- they only need one district councilmember to go along with them.[/quote]
