New Districts

With some drama, the county board approved new district maps. I hate it when back room deals go down but that's the way some folks get things done.

The new layout seems a mix of 29c and 29d. It moves all of the incumbents in to their own districts. And reduces the previously recommended drastic shift of district six.

Will the Executive veto? If so, my understanding is this issue would go directly to the courts.

Once the county maps are settled, then it ball goes to the local municipalities. They cut the districts up in to wards and draw their own local districts. What will the city council do? My best guess is that the city will adopt the same districts and cut them up in to four wards each thereby enabling people to continue campaigning for two jobs in the same district.
