Aldermanic district split fuels debate after adjourned meeting

At yesterday's adjourned aldermen meeting Hart pressed Cutter's plan over Donovan's more equitable split. Cutter would award Wards 23 and 24 an alderman each and consolidate Wards 5 4 and 5 into one district despite 7360 registered voters, while wards 23 and 24 with about 6500 voters would gain two aldermen. Donovan's plan promised fairer distribution but GOP gerrymandering blocked it. Journal and Advertiser editors note the contentious outcome.
