[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This situation has turned into a real mess[/quote]

Yes, it has.  The Ward 3 task force has earned itself quite a reputation across the District and not in a good way.  A number of the Councilmembers are ticked off to have to clean up the problems, the unforced errors that the task force has created.  Mary Cheh portrays herself as a smart law professor.  Did she mail to do due diligence on the people she appointed to the task force? [/quote]

You have it backwards, lady. The only people upset with the Task Force map are the same people who have had an outsized voice in the Ward for the past 30 years, and they are upset that the single family homes will now be on par, rather than in a superior position, with the other voices in the Ward. So they went and cried to the Council Chair who catered to their position and came up with the last second map to try to salvage the status quo.

The map mendelson proposed has not been vetted by anyone, it has Single Member Disitricts that are both too big and too small according to the law.

The At-Large Councilmembers who run this process will not be supporting it, nor willl Mary Cheh, and, as a result, it will be voted down.
