Former West End Councilor Bruce Tyler was one of the speakers.
"You look at the districts that we have, there are two districts that are predominantly single family, the 1st and the 4th Districts. And the 1st and the 4th Districts pay a disproportionate amount of taxes in comparison to the other districts," he said, adding that downtown businesses also pay a large share.
"We're going to tinker with that. And I'm tremendously concerned about that, because two things could happen," he continued. "One, housing costs are going to go down, which means the tax base is going to evaporate. Or two, just the opposite. The tax base will increase, but where will the affordable housing be?"

“Listen I’ve considered all the angles in good faith, and unfortunately the only solution is to never change anything ever. I know, I’m as disappointed as you are, but that’s what the data says, so that’s that, I guess.”

Congress could, and should, ban this. Impose the same rule nationwide as some states already have: if an incumbent doesn't file for reelection by the deadline, the window to file gets extended a week or two.

also very few national outlets want to pay for the travel that type of coverage requires, and a lot of local reporters got laid off, which does not help lol
