Zimmerman has talked about moving to remain within Ward 6 boundaries. Has Lilligren said anything similar?
As for benefits for Ward 8, a number of people feel that Ward 5 has lost influence because of losing the prosperous downtown areas. Ward 8 is losing a chunk of Phillips but gaining the more prosperous blocks on the west section of Powderhorn and in Kingfield. Will this make Ward 8 more influential? I am (for not very good reasons) pleased that Bancroft is still part of Ward 8. I seem to enjoy drama a little too much.

I don't understand where the 8th Ward benefits? _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
