[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virtually no time would have been devoted to the reconfiguration (part of which was bike lanes - why does the rest of the configuration keep getting ignored?) if a small, very loud, group of people hadn't acted like it was the end of the freaking world.[/quote]

Small? Please continue to underestimate the Integrity group. Its impact on the upcoming election will be anything but small. :lol: [/quote]

I hope so! So what's the feeling? Annetta Catchings or Allison Silberberg? [/quote]

Catchings, while she may be a nice person, has only lived in Alexandria for 6 months.  It's a lost cause.[/quote]

+1000

And she hasn't even lived in the city during a normal time, let alone one full year. It's not about party - it's insanity to vote for Catchings.  [/quote]

It's ridiculous that she's the best the Republican Party could come up with and they couldn't even find someone who really lives here.  It seems like she's being used as a pawn. There is no way she can win.[/quote]

It’s ridiculous that the supposedly non-partisan city council is a single party state. Every local source repeats, accurately, the Democrat Primary is the election. They admit that it’s not a democracy.

It won’t happen, without a lawsuit, and only with racial/voting rights act representation, but council districts would make at least the current council more responsive.

Even non partisan, certain members have their city wide base, and ideological factions that they can afford to offend a cluster of blocks without consequence. It would also focus voters on issues that actually affect them. Not some non issue about stream rehabilitation, or for or against a bicycle lane.[/quote]
