Although questioning Karen Collier carries heavy risks, I think she is wrong: the council members elected this year will serve full four-year terms until �05. Terrell Brown is right; this is an unfortunate mathematical confluence (�01 election, �02 redistricting, �05 first post-redistricting election.) My question is: after the city redistricts in �02, do council members serve their �01 election districts or the new post-redistricting boundaries. (My guess is they serve the current �01 districts until �05.) In other words, could I be voting for a 10th ward council member this year but be in the 11th ward next year?
