The League of Women Voters will be live streaming the Districting Committee meeting this noon today, Monday.  They will later maie the video available on YouTube and we will post the link in the right side column under the LWV category near the top.  

This meeting of the committee is important as the neutral districting master will be presenting his version of districts after listening to arguments from both sides last week.  My opinion is there will be no agreement of any sort between the two sides.  And for that reason it is of value for citizens to watch and listen to the meeting - either live or later.  We may have a desire to favor "our" team - liberal or conservative - but the need in our county is for fair voting districts.  By attending these meetings and as an independent voter, I have seen that both sides have beeen unreasonable.  I especially fault my liberal friends for being totally uncompromising.  They really figure they have the battle won.  This is as sad as when the conservatives figured last June that they had the battle won and were rather condescending towards the liberals.  One would think that after while the two sides would work for the good of all citizens.  But - not a chance of that.  

So, take a look at what a charade the meetings are. This process will end up in the courts.  

We thank the League for their efforts to video these meetings and post.  Of course this is something our county government should do.  But does not.
