I find it appalling that there is only one person who lives east of Bloomingon Avenue (south)/River (north). This commission is to represent the city--why is everyone in the western half (quarter?) of the City? Why is there only one person to represent half (Females) of the population. It also appears there is only one person of color. There is no one from any neighborhoods that are majority people of color. There is no one from the low income neighborhoods.
Anyone interested in seeing if there is a court challenge possible? There can be no excuse for the make-up of this commission.
