Hispanic Leaders Say Modesto Elections Are Unfair – California
Tagged: California, modesto, populationPosted on: January 20th, 2007“The citys at-large City Council election process is stuck in the 1800s and does not provide equal representation to all residents, regional Hispanic leaders said.
Hispanics make up 30 percent of the population, but only one Hispanic has won a council election in nearly 100 years, leaders said Thursday at a forum with city officials. All of the citys current councilors are white and come from the same part of the city.”
