Minutes, Regular Meeting, La Porte City Council September 23, 1985, Page 9 Mr. Gay then stated that with the three districts in the old section of La Porte, you really haven't diluted the minority vote, he thinks you have strengthened it. He stated he is speaking for the Spanish-American speaking people, who he also represents. When you take district 6 and split it, you split the power of the minority vote. This is why he couldn't accept Scenario 5, because he is representing the Hispanics just as he represents the Blacks and everybody else in the City. He would like that to go on record so we can take that to the Justice Department. 17. Administrative Reports: City Manager Owen reminded Council of the bond sale on September 24, at 7:30 in the lobby at City Hall. He stated he is proud of the City's bond rating.
