[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the Tricia/Troy ploy failed and they reverted to a more reasonable map that is much closer to what the Community Associations all proposed.

I love the way Tricia is trying to take credit for this. She should be ashamed.[/quote]

The current map proposal seems pretty good. I mean the older plan to combine Foxhall with Glover Park, when they are only connected by a poorly maintained path through the woods was pretty silly. It really makes you wonder what they were drinking during that meeting or if they knew what was going on.[/quote]

Have you attended any of the meetings? They have to do something that is really, really hard: they have to create SMD districts that are between 1900 and 2100 people, and commissions consisting of an integer number of districts. They have to use census blocks. The districts have to be contiguous and compact.

Just making a map that satisfies these conditions is an intellectual challenge. Tellingly, the "Neighborhood Voice" folks tried to make a map that met  those conditions, and failed. [/quote]

Hard? The Task Force is relishing this opportunity to cut up existing neighborhoods. They love what they’re doing. The results were all decided when they formed this biased group.  [/quote]
