I hear from my former colleague, Rick Stafford, that there are very likely going to be some substantive changes proposed in the languaging of the Minneapolis Charter that governs the redistricting process. I also understand that there will be at least four seats on the Charter Commission to be filled by appointment by the Chief Judge of Hennepin County for four-year terms commencing in April of 2006. My information may not be all that precise, but it seems to me that those who were chagrined by the redistricting outcome in 2002 may wish to be proactive in 2006. An ounce of prevention might save us all a pretty bundle in legal fees, you think?
