By Will Jarrett, Mission Local April 2, 2022 In an 8 to 1 vote, the Redistricting Task Force today approved moving ahead with a map that keeps the Tenderloin in District 6. The vote came at the end of a grueling seven hours of public comment, in which the task force heard comments from 182 members of the San Francisco public. The vast majority spoke in favor of Map 4D – the only map, of the four put forward by the task force, that kept the Tenderloin in District 6. "I cannot in good conscience go against the will of the public," said Jeremy Lee, a member of the task force and manager at the Chinatown Community Development Center. "I see maps A, B, and C as stripping the people of the Tenderloin of their self-determinism." To read the full article, click here.
