Idiots! Wish I had kinder words. 4 council members in over 30 years. What part of that spells representation?

Well here comes the ACLU lawsuit, which will likely win. This could have been done the easy, cheap way. Now it will cost millions and be even more divisive. Either way, district elections will happen some day. Santa Rosa isn’t a small town anymore, and its time we stopped pretending it is.

Measure Q and and Prop. 31 failed.
Guess they’ll just have to oppress us the old fasioned way.

Through deceit, propaganda, fear, synthesized “events” and pandemics, incrementalism, erosion of property rights and socio-economic polarization.

At least THEY have the right representation to pull it off.

Hurray. Santa Rosans understand that it doesn’t make sense to disenfranchise themselves. We need to work as a unified city to solve our problems and create more jobs here, and with all seven city council members accountable to all the voters, those goals are more readily achieved. Is the current system perfect? Obviously not. But district elections are not the answer.

It’s also refreshing to learn that the campaign to defeat Meas. Q spent a lot less money than the other side. Excellent.
