SALISBURY – After three years of mapping, the Salisbury City Council approved moving to five municipal election districts starting next year.
The council held a public hearing this week in considering adopting a resolution that would amend the City Charter to create five new election districts to replace the existing two election districts. One council member would be elected from each district.
According to City Administrator Tom Stevenson, the amendment would provide for five districts with two encompassing a majority-minority population.
The resolution states, “beginning with the election of November 2015, the City Council has determined that it is in the best interest of the citizens of Salisbury to create five new Council Districts to replace the existing two Council Districts, pursuant to the 2010 Census, and to elect one councilmember from each district.”

Now they'll have three more elected representatives on the 'bury dole...they'll hope more to rubber stamp Jimmy's initiatives!
This is all BS!!!
The map looks like children drew it up... children on meth. AKA council.
The Democrat mayor's map will make it near impossible for a Republican or Independent candidate to ever win in an election, even though Salisbury's city council elections are touted as being non-partisan.
Seriously doubtful.
Goodbye, Salisbury!
