Springfield enters right to realign in township
Williams of Springfield, GOP chairman, supports but did not initiate a petition to create additional wards and appoint friendly commissioners. The move stems from a two Democrats, two independent Republicans and three organization Republicans on the seven member board after Ralph Martin’s Nov. 6 win. The petition, prepared by Kimber Vought and Sandra Slade, was signed by outgoing Commission President James M. Davis. Proponents cite a 1963 Superior Court ruling that reapportionment is a legislative function and argue a delay in redivision justifies court involvement.
