Kansas City Redistricting Up Close

Today, BlogKC posts a FANTASTIC comparison between the two Council Realignment maps in KC Proper. Unfortunately, EVERYONE has a sneaking suspicion that the Council is going to come up with their own map that doesn't look much like what the Committee is showing us so far.

  1. So the maps are different. The question is WHY are they different? Which map does the Jim Rowland/Pat Gray/Steve Gloriso cartel want and WHY? Which map does each minority group want and WHY? Which map does the Northland want and WHY?

    Truth is, no one really cares except for the ones with self-annointed egos.

  2. Bottom Line: The Council will make their own map.

  3. Deb Hermann - She managed to avoid MAST Pension Mess embarrassment this week and rumor has it Local 42-----

    Just what we need another Mayor that Avoids the issues. We've already got that.

  4. It appears that version # 13 rev. is the one that does the least "slicing and dicing".

    And for the good of the City as a whole, it makes sense that all of Downtown should be in the same district

    Is the Downtown community (not just businesses, but the thousands of new residents) paying attention to these alternatives? They certainly should.

  5. Why should all of Downtown be in the same district? Doesn't Downtown really belong to ALL of the districts? Obviously, the people that live there need to be represented but I can see a big advantage to Downtown having more than one council district when it comes time to apportion capital improvement dollars.
