Isanti County Redistricting

Isanti County Board meeting in a few minutes to discuss redistricting in an unrecorded no newspaper coverage situation. Wonder why???

 The City of Isanti belongs with Isanti Township.... any other formula makes no sense for future growth. The Gerrymandering option of placing the City of Isanti with Athens Township and Oxford Township erases decades of Isanti purposely not growing into Athens. This option also places our total population in this configuration dangerously close to the population limit of a district... this means that once again a person in our district with have less representation than everyone else in the County... this terrible inequality shown towards Isanti must stop.... 

So why would this option even be looked at? Simple - it allows all of the County Commissioners to not have to run for re-election against each other. This self serving reason would be detrimental to the welfare of our County... you may think this is a harsh statement but at the last meeting I attended one of our long serving Commissioners stated he wanted safe district so they did not have to run for office again... now you knoq why they never record their meetings.....

Please do the right thing and go with the option that our Independent County Auditor proposed as the best option .. this places the City of Isanti with Isanti Township. Take the politics out of our elections...
