I do not know Mrs. Rees personally and she may indeed love maps. Her involvement may be just her trying to create a better way of dividing the county into districts but anytime someone that has political ties begins by sending a letter to the editor before presenting their proposal it makes me suspicious. Of course I am jaded and may be completely wrong. I guess that when we get to see her proposal we can all make our own decision based on how she drew the boundaries.
First, I'll note that your post is of a different font than is standard to the board, but just happens to be the default font for most email programs.
Second, I'll put forth that Brenda, Lane, and their family are good friends of mine.
Finally, I'll point out that the overall issue of the letter seemed to be the lack of notification for the south end of the county. I do realize that legally it only has to be published in the newspaper of record, but I have yet to find the meeting listed on the counties website. In fact finding the various types of soil throughout the county is easier than the proposed districts map. Further, I remember one of the committee members of the redistricting board advising users of this board that filling out the census shouldn't be done and was probably some sort of government conspiracy.
The fact is that this map actually removes a commissioner from the south end. Districts 1 and 4 are clearly weighted so that north end candidates will be able to file for them without the legal improprieties of the past when mailboxes popped up on quit claim deeded land the night before the filing deadline.
I haven't seen Mrs. Rees's map, but I look forward to examining it at tomorrow's meeting.
