I strongly agree with Jennifer Heiser's statements, and I'm not married to a City Council Member. The only point I would add is that the legislature has certainly known about this situation well in advance of the redistricting. If they felt it was anti-democratic, then they should have had the forsight to deal with it before the 2001 elections. We elected our Council Members for 4 year terms and the voters' decisions should be honored for the full 4 years. I suggest that the legislators address this issue in 2005 to remedy the situation for the 2010 census and redistricting.
