      <![CDATA[Mark Norris bill if passed, will be challenged in federal court and he knows that. Changing current state law to ensure a favorable outcome for one segment of the population while disenfranchising the other will violate both Tennessee and U.S Constitution.

<br>
Do you believe that Luttrell will appoint suburban residents with the majority of his picks? Even if I'm wrong and both Luttrell and the Governor go with 100% suburban picks, isn't 5 out of 18 seats better for Memphis than 0 out of 7?<br>
<br>
I propose a friendly wager.

      <![CDATA[AS long as those in the small districts have to pay extra to have their separate but equal schools, then you would be correct. And I believe you're incorrect on Memphis representation in the Norris bill, this will be controlled by those opposed (like you) to the interests of 70% of the population of SHelby County.

      <![CDATA[Planner, as many of them probably won their offices by disregarding one person one vote, I doubt they have much invested in the concept. It's not who votes, it's who counts the votes that matters, as they have learned.

      <![CDATA[If the creation of a Special School District and the creation of suburban municipal districts at the end of the planning period are allowed to go forward without a major fight and  protest by our Memphis elected officials (MCS, City Council, County Comm. and State legislators) than we might as well forget about the whole unification process.<br>
<br>
Additionally, the transition planning commission has to be representative of ALL residents of the County on an equal basis.
