At the WEIC meeting tonight, the surprise visit from Governor Markell had a big surprise! The Governor told WEIC and the crowd that the funding for redistricting WILL NOT COME FROM RED CLAY RESIDENTS. The commission previously said they were going to ask the Governor for $6 million in the Fiscal Year 2017 which the Governor will unleash at the end of January. I’m already wondering where this magical $6 million is going to come from when we are already facing a potential budget deficit north of $200 million. Just getting this out there. Remember this, bookmark this.
