The Council should be a balanced body where differing points of view are civilly discussed, not a rubber stamp committee. Until the day when every voter in this city is registered with the same party, the minority parties deserve representation, too. That comment was more telling than anything else you declared about the intent of this redistricting.; December 20, 2011 at 7:24 AM

This means that a special election, scheduled for January 10, 2012 can go froward. A third candidate, Thomas Bozek, a write-in, decided to opt out of public financing.; December 20, 2011 at 8:53 PM

If it can be gerrymandered just right, we can make sure there will no longer be any republicans on the council for the next decade.; December 23, 2011 at 6:26 PM

SOUNDS LIKE THE CIVIC TEACHER IS A SOCIALIST OR MAYBE A COMMUNIST.; December 23, 2011 at 8:19 PM
