[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the text of the amendment:

"This amendment to the Chairman’s ANS simply replaces the Chairman’s language amending the
Ward 3 section of the redistricting bill with the original compromise devised by the
Subcommittee, the Ward 3 Councilmember, and the Ward 3 Redistricting Task Force. It also
addresses one small issue that all groups, including the Chairman, the Task Force, and the
Subcommittee, view as appropriate: incorporating the small Woodland-Normanstone
neighborhood into one SMD. It supports the wishes of the larger Ward 3 community."

It’s disingenuous for Mary Cheh to state that it supports the wishes of the larger Ward 3 community when public comments from the community (whether in the task force record, the Council record, public meetings convened by the Council) have been overwhelmingly against the task force map and the division of established neighborhoods in particular.  It is telling that Cheh  did not even bother to attend the first Council redistricting hearing and didn’t show  up for any of the several public meetings that Mendelson, Bonds, and Silverman convened in Cheh’s own ward.[/quote]
It will be interesting to see what becomes of the community backlash. [b]There is a strong possibility that this power grab ends up backfiring if the rest is that CP SF homeowners get more engaged.[/b] [/quote]

LOL. No there isn’t. The people who care about ANC boundaries are already engaged. Everyone else will go about their business and never even know who their ANC rep is.[/quote]
