From Alderman Mike Hallquist.
Alderman Brad Blumer (7th District) and Ald. Mike Hallquist, submitted a resolution to Mayor Steve Ponto and the City Clerk s office in support of creating a nonpartisan procedure for the creation of new state legislature and congressional electoral maps. The nonbinding resolution condemns the practice commonly known as gerrymandering, stating the results are undemocratic, stifle competition, discourage compromise, incur costly litigation, and are not in the interest of Wisconsin residents. It further states that no politician or political party should choose their voters, and insists the State Legislature create a nonpartisan and independent procedure for preparing legislative and congressional electoral district maps.
