Tonight's City Redistricting Public Meeting

This is a simple one to report: every adult who attended tonight spoke, and everyone endorsed the NAACP's position. The public wants the map they submitted adopted, plus a move to a true hybrid system. That would mean only the residents in a given district would vote for who represents them.

Both John Moss and I spoke endorsing the NAACP's position, but for varying reasons. Since I spoke following John, I pointed out it was something when the VBTA Chairman and I agree on a major issue. When John and I agree on an issue, it's obviously a no-brainer.

John was speaking for himself, not the VBTA. There are obviously many in the VBTA who would reject a proposal simply because the source was the NAACP.

Darn. Still find it interesting though (not going to name names, they know who they are), but yes: some of the wingnuts there...
