Ok, so maybe it's just the cynic in me, but is Ms. Kahn's concern about one-person-one-vote somehow related to the success of the Greens in the last election? She has make it obvious that she still harbors ill feelings from the presidential election. So what would Ms. Kahn's bill mean for our new council members? Does it give the DFL a second shot at them? If so, this is a pretty shady way to circumvent the will of the voters.
