Could someone possibly post a very brief listing of the primary reasons why a ward's boundary should be redrawn? And/or briefly list the primary factors to be considered when drawing ward shapes?
I would think it reasonalble that one criterion should be that a ward's boundary should not be drawn so as to place the current council member outside the district. This criterion seems to me to probably be just as important as the other factors to keep in mind when redrawing. But, obviously, this is not part of the current law. Maybe we should add this wording to the law, and save us all a lot of bother. Dave Stack, Harrison (where we had a very nice walking tour along Bassett Creek yesterday) REMINDERS: 1.
