In the end we'll see if districts lead to a more accountable City Council. For now, all I know is that I used to be able to vote for all nine of my councilmembers. Now I can only vote for three, making six of them unaccountable to me!
proving that Groover isn't the smart journalist we were led to believe she was, and instead just parrots the silly aphorisms of the neo-liberal crowd...
Obviously the SLOG editors (if they exist) are outright incompetent to let this article go without at least acknowledging The Strangers critical role in creating this reality. And Groover, shame on you, this would have taken 10 minutes of research - you have a fucking degree in journalism. Burn that shit.
None of this costs money, if you have time.
I'm perfectly willing to vote for people who aren't backed by the big money. Voters need to learn to research, make their decision, and move on. If the others want to spin their wheels for months upon months in campaigning, it has little effect on me, even an adverse impression. Especially when you see these careerists go into election after election, fully unchallenged ... sometimes no one even running ...
I look forward to reading and hearing fresh voices in local campaigns, i.e. where it supposedly all starts. If you're effective enough, maybe we can then send you on to Washington D.C. to really shake things up.
