For those who don’t know, this year the city is required to implement the redistricting of the Council wards.
To start the process, the minority and majority leaders of the council are required to appoint two persons to the redistricting commission (named Reapportionment Advisory Commission). After the leaders make their appointments, the members of the commission will pick a fifth person and start the redistricting process.
Today, Minority Leader Tom Saadi announced the appointment of long-time Democrats Attorney Larry Riefberg and Mr. Joe Walkovich to the Commission.

Joe Walkovich? Now there is a blast from the past. You Dem’s really have a sense of humor.
