[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The bigger impact is having 11 council members rather than 9. That was the alternative Evan Glass proposed rather than lose any at-large representation. The council doesn't want to lose its at-large seats because those ensure a very progressive majority on the council. They will claim a desire for racial and ethnic representation in the districts, but it's really about ensuring a progressive majority. [/quote] Whatever Evan Glass's motivation may or may not have been: -the motivation for abolishing the at-large seats was reducing the representation from the more populous, more-likely-to-vote downcounty areas on the county council -my motivation for voting to retain the at-large seats was so that I will still have county council members to contact if my district county council rep is terrible[/quote]
