Ok, I don’t really have any inside skinny on the redistricting deal but this article in the WaPo seems to indicate that redistricting could be done almost before it starts.
It’s sure to cause some consternation amongst the open-govt folks. I don’t really have an opinion on the whole thing other than I am glad I’m not involved.
I’ve had some questions about the motion I made during Council time on Monday night. I’ve also had some people stop by to ask about it (it always amazes me that people watch Council meetings on TV. It’s interesting to see who’s paying attention.) By way of background, each Council member is alloted an unlimited amount of time at the beginning of each meeting to speak to whatever subjects they would like. It’s typically short and sweet but members might ask staff questions or simply pass along reports about the St. Patrick’s Day parade, for instance.
What Happened?
What happened this past Monday when I spoke was as follows: I asked the Mayor to refer the revenue sharing agreement with the schools to the Finance committee for review – in the same vein as our recent review of the deed for the ballfields. That was it.
