Ward ruling delayed in Springfield reapportionment case
After nearly four hours of arguments Judge Joseph DeFaria took the reapportionment petitions under advisement and set a 10 day deadline for additional briefs. The hearing also addressed petitions to intervene in the court-appointed study commission created Nov. 13 by Judge DeFaria. Springfield residents seek the commission while others want it disbanded so commissioners can reapport. The three-man panel was appointed to address ward inequities under the one man one vote standard amid a low-attendance Friday session. Democratic township chairman Jack Bryson was allowed to intervene as a resident but not as a political entity.
