 Keith says; Is this the same Karen Collier who was a member of the  
Redistricting Commission? Not that long ago I spoke against a gerrymandered 
 City Ward map at the big public hearing DT, as did dozens of people crowded 
 into that large hearing room. Hundreds more angry citizens waited for hours 
 and left without an opportunity to speak against the plan that is now in the 
 courts.
  
  After all the testimony against this bad plan, commission members cravenly 
 approved there creation. I would judge that these commission members, too,   
           "...certainly haven't been listening to the citizens" who banged 
on the doors at 
 City Hall that evening.
