FW Weekly didn’t get its reporting quite right here. It claims the city committed to studying the formation of an independent redistricting commission. That was what the Race & Culture Task Force recommended, and the City Manager endorsed, but the Council pushed back almost immediately. The Council may be backpedaling, but it never made the promise…
“The use of a city-appointed task force was not the system that city leaders committed to in late 2018, though. Two years ago, the mayor and city council agreed to appoint a charter review task force to determine the steps needed to enable a citizen-led redistricting effort.”
