[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now I’m sure you’re wrong since you didn’t come back and defend your knee-jerk response to what is a pretty good map. Clarksburg wanted their own district and got it. Bethesda, Chevy Chase and Potomac didn’t want to be lumped in with the Ag Reserve (which was done 30 years ago to combine the districts of the two Republicans who were on the Council at the time into one - one of the ended up moving. 😀) East County wanted their own district and got it. The North Bethesda to Takoma Park district makes sense because they are all inner ring densely populated suburbs with similar goals/issues etc. Regarding the two majority Black and Hispanic districts, that’s something that has always been encouraged by the Voting Rights Act. I don’t think the VRA applies to councilmanic districts within states but obviously the majority of the panel thought it was a good philosophy to follow.[/quote]
It wasn't done 30 years ago.   It was done 10 years ago when Berliner was in office. [/quote]
