“I’m satisfied because both attained what we were trying to get to the 53%,” said NAACP President Robert Clopton.
Not everyone was on board with today’s decision. District 7 Councilwoman Gina Gregory, whose district is now the fourth majority black district abstained from the final vote. While Gregory plans to continue serving her district she says time will tell what effect this has on District 7.
