      <![CDATA[It was a rhetorical question LWC.<br>
<br>
In all seriousness, would not having districts more representative of the actual neighborhoods that make up the county (and the same for the city) make for better representation, more community involvement, and the ability to keep a closer eye on those in office?

      <![CDATA[Merc, you answered your own question. The polar donkey Blog has maps showing that most of the current commissioners live in the Poplar Corridor all the way out to the Fayette line.

      <![CDATA[And while I'm thinking about it, why not add a few more seats to the commission to help improve neighborhood representation/involvement? Or would that threaten the stranglehold of the current power brokers?

      <![CDATA[This may be dangerous, but I think I actually agree with OTP (to a degree anyway). Why can't they simply use traditional neighborhood boundaries to help form districts that make sense geographically?

      <![CDATA[Neither one will really work, especially the one by Mike Ritz. Why must there be 7 African American and 7 White  districts, dividing the city of Memphis from the suburban areas?
