Public Comment: Citywide Election Maps

Please share public comment on the three proposed City Council redistricting maps by Friday 12/10.
Note: It appears that the CAC boundaries are all contained within each of these options. Our commissioners had advocated to remain whole and were pleased to see this. Clintonville residents may want to consider reviewing which other neighborhoods are proposed to be represented with ours in the three maps under current consideration.
