Special Meeting on Redistricting

And so what was the purpose of the Public Hearing on Redistricting if the Supervisors are not even going to consider the desires of the public they were elected to represent?

Let's face it Tunica, these Supervisors are only interested in protecting their re-elections. They are not even going to consider what any of us thinks. Nor do they care.

And what the heck is the meaning of holding a "special meeting with the Board of Supervisors" and Tunica Cut-Off residents? We all know these folks were displaced by the flood and I don't think anyone would object to holding yet another Public Hearing on Redistricting as long as everyone is included.

The 2010 Census says Tunica County, MS is 23.7% White; 73.5% Black and 2.8% Other.

To restate the Supervisors' plan for redistricting Tunica County, here it is:

District 1 has an African American Supervisor.
The plan for Redistricting District 1 is:
White: 15.4%
Black: 81.4%
Other: 3.1%

District 2 has an African American Supervisor.
The plan for Redistricting District 2 is:
White: 15.7%
Black: 82.1%
Other: 2.1%

District 3 has a White Supervisor.
The plan for Redistricting District 3 is:
White: 21.7%
Black: 74.3%
Other: 4.1%

District 4 has a White Supervisor.
The plan for Redistricting District 4 is:
White: 31.5%
Black: 65.9%
Other: 2.6%

District 5 has a White Supervisor.
The plan for Redistricting District 5 is:
White: 34.1%
Black: 63.6%
Other: 2.3%

Do these guys really think the Department of Justice is going to let them get away with this? They will unless we start saying something about it.....
