Very strange seeing Brooklyn and Riverview in the same district, while Brooklyn/North Riverside and Durkeeville are sliced in half. Riverside in three districts, Fort Caroline and Oceanway in the same district. I hope they go back to the drawing board!

If they come before the court with inadequate maps it may make the court focus more on maps from the plaintiffs.  City Council should be careful what they wish for.

Lol, I struggle to find why this is so difficult. Unfortunately, when politics are involved, all logic goes out of the window.
