      <![CDATA[The "Langster-Taylor" district is a prime example of poor blending of common<br>
interest to keep a favored Councilmember in office! As to Hillsboro Village, maybe<br>
the thought is to have 2 councilmembers serving the Village is better than one!

To get Metro in the first place, Joelton was promised it would have a councilmanic district. It was sacrificied in 2000 ostenisbly to create more minority-dominated districts.

      <![CDATA[Hillsboro Village isn't the only neighborhood that's split. I really wasn't too concerned about this, but I just looked at the map and my neighborhood off White Bridge Road is being cut off from Sylvan Park (already, some of us had gotten redistricted out of their school zone) and literally split in half along Stoneway Trail and up Kendall Drive.

You are exactly right. Which is why a Council with 35 districts is impractically large.

      <![CDATA[Splitting is a good way to weaken common constituencies. Each of those two halves in Hillsboro will not unite with each other but will have to squeak against a group in the new districts which will not have the same shared needs or wish list.
