Word is that Trudy Wade has come up with a redistricting plan that would move just a couple of precincts, give DBS an area around the mall she's long wanted, keep Lindley Park in Rakestraw's district, and fix an existing glitch that had people from different districts voting at the same location.
Should be up on the website soon (although as of 12:30 PM today it shows outdated information about the Rakestraw plan).
UDPATE: Two plans credited to Dr. Wade are now available at the City website.
UPDATE: A City press release explains, "The proposed Plan D impacts 4,583 residents and two precincts (G31, G56) while proposed Plan E affects 5,522 residents and four precincts (G31, G56, JEF1.2, JEF2.1)."
Just wondering how this plan appeared>

It's up.
What happened to the computer program?

The mix is by race.
Why not Dem, Rep, and Independent?
Why would they not show how competative each district is?
Why would Trudy come up with a new map, if she had a hand in Mary's?
Was Bill Burckley involved?
Was Zack?
Has anyone seen the history of where the lines have been?
Did many question the lines before 2008?
How is this not rigged to benefit the incumbents?
How can incumbents come up with non-biased maps?
Trudy's is up.

The way to solve this problem is for an independent board to take the responsibility for redrawing districts. City Council members should not be allowed to redraw districts.
