[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The last person to run against him run to the left of him - ugh.  Lots of people are starting to complain about his stance on crime and how much it is increasing around the hill.  That might be a potential hook for a more moderate candidate.  [b]Ward 6 is also going to change when they adjust the wards.[/b]  Not sure if that will matter.  [/quote]

Yes, he was so vocal in his support of the youth rehabilitation act. Now we also have shortened sentence thing for violent criminals too. Plus teens get a slap on the wrist for crimes. It’s so nuts. Such a heartfelt to do right. The problem is that deterring violent crime is now taking a back seat to “restorative justice”, which basically lets criminals think they can do whatever they want.[/quote]

It will be fascinating to see redistricting is handled. According to census estimates, Allen's ward will need to shed population, so its boundary will have to change. The easiest way to do this would be to move Ward 6's "Shaw Stovepipe" back to Ward 2. That would move *a lot* of Allen's die-hard support out of his ward. There's also a scenario where some of Ward 8 moves into Ward 6, which also would not be good news for Allen, because Ward 8 is not exactly friendly territory to someone with Allen's pillow-soft stance on crime.[/quote]
