Mark Anderson asks a question: How exactly does having a rich section in one's district make a council person more powerful?
If it doesn't make a difference, give it back. If a council member backs a project in their ward, usually, certainly not always, but usually. that project gets the support of the rest of the council. If a council member talks to an employer within their district about jobs for his or her constituents, usually the employer pays attention. By the way, I see two of the three new up-scale grocery stores are being built on land formerly in the fifth ward. Anne McCandless Jordan REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
