RE: [Mpls] Assault On Democracy

[Jim McGuire]

What was "grossly unfair" was the process that redrew Ward Boundaries so 
that boundaries moved Dean Zimmerman out of his own Ward.  What was 
"grossly unfair" was the process that redrew Ward Boundaries so that both 
of the Green Party endorsed City Council members have to run against DFL 
incumbents to keep their jobs.

Dean Zimmerman was elected to serve a term representing the 8th Ward.  Near 
as I can tell he did a good job of that, but I'll admit that it's hard to 
judge that with certainty since I live in the 1st Ward.

This has been especially unfair to the 8th ward
residents, who have been "represented" by a council
member who is running for a different ward for most of
his term.  Phyllis Kahn was correct on this one.
