Irving to Get New City Council, Courtesy of a Federal Judge

Yesterday, a federal judge ordered Irving to adopt a single-member system and to redraw district lines. This will make Manuel Benavidez happy, since he filed suit claiming the city was in violation of the Voting Rights Act and boxing out the Hispanic community.

Based on the issues involved, and the fact that the federal judge is named Jorge Solis, I’m sure the resulting dialogue will be nothing but productive.
